Cool look and awesome jacket!
Awesome jacket. " top grain" "front quarter horsehide " is that a wool lining? Do you know who the maker is? Different back configuration on a " perfecto" style. Im digging this

Guidemaster? Awesome, whatever it is.
Whatever it is Terry it looks like a beast of a jacket, in an elegant way. One look and I knew... that jacket goes hardNothing new, just doing a video comparing vintage leathers and used this as an example. David Sheely says it is a Monarch of Milwaukee. He based on construction; French seems, underarm footballs. I'm thinking it was made by Rough Wear Clothing of Pennsylvania. I go by the lining and the Top Grain label. They also used French seems and made very robust jackets. This is a robust jacket. Deep Rich Leather. You can see it in the pics. Monarch made great jackets, but I don't think of them with this weight of leather.
How did I miss that??? If you had it for sale how did I not see it and buy it?? I don't know the measurements but if they are 23" pit, 19 or so shoulder, 25-26 sleeve, 24-25 back don't put it up for sale just send me the message I'll take it. Lol. Killer jacket terry. Tfl two thumbs up.Good example of a high quality jacket with no makers/sellers label. I had it for sale a couple of years back. Got into a discussion with a buyer on the price. It was an interesting exchange.

It is bro. I love the chopper pattern. Almost 9lbs of cxl. BadassOne jacket I have yet to own. Fantastic and brilliant! Must be a tank.
Thats money. I have my eyes open to pounce if I get the chanceHands down best thing Schott ever did. If I had know sooner how cool this jacket is, I would've saved a truckload of money. I don't think I'll be getting another cross zip soon - Or ever.

Sweet, I have the one in X150, great jacket.
You should get one, there's so much leather in it, leather folded over leather, and the all brass hardware is very nice. I can see why they charge extra over most of their other jackets.
