Help finding this beautiful leather jacket

[adiadi]

Hello there, I recently came across this jacket's picture on a site, however I am unable to find this jacket any where. I was hoping if you have any clue of it's origins or source etc.

You might Google Overland Sheepskin or Sickafus.Being in the business they may have suggestions for you.

I am wondering why this thread is in the Guides' section? It should be in the Outerwear section. I don't see a button here to report to the Moderators. It has been up for a week now.

This just looks like a black civilian B3.

Schott makes one, not sure if that is the one, but it could very well be:

(they call it Ebony)

It's my bad, I am new to the Forum and I have made a mistake. I shall delete this thread shortly.

I've reverse image search'd but couldn't find any mention of the manufacturer. The image is from some fashion show. Carlos is right I'd say, it's a fairly accurate looking B3, only in black.

I have found a couple of B3's that look similar but not the exact one. From the photograph, I feel that the jacket is thicker and better made than the others I have seen so far.

I have an old Schott B-3, although not accurate it is really well made and very thick and warm.
To the point where wearing one in London is pretty much impossible for me.
I can't imagine wearing one in Australia would be much fun.

Considering it's made for a fashion show, I wouldn't bet on it. Chances are it's not even made of leather.

Fair enough, but I think the photo was taken off the street, but you never know.

Sydney will allow you to wear a jacket like that for like 10 days in the whole of winter. For someone who loves jackets, that's enough to justify buying it.

Any justification will work for those of us addicted to jackets and coats! I have about 45 of them, not counting suit/sport coats and dress overcoats. My wife has said, no mas. Somehow she just doesn't understand the thrill of the hunt and the ecstasy of the capture.

So I am not alone, that's a good feeling to know.

No need to delete. I PMd Scotrace and he moved it to the proper thread. As an aside, I don't think you can delete a thread. In my experience as a moderator on another forum, I think only moderators can delete threads. You can delete your own posts, but not threads. I might be wrong about this Forum, though. PC

Copy, Thanks.

Peacote, this has to be a life-time quote for me. I don't know why I've just always loved outerwear! Especially that made of leather. However living in the upper midwest I get a long season for it, along with boots, etc. Now that it's finally warming up, I'm back into the other main hobby, that of miles and miles on a road bicycle. Good other people understandd/relate

Another questions - How much would you be willing to pay for Real Macoy B3 (used, but in excellent condition)

That's what I though of too. I *think* I can see a hint of handwarmer pockets in the photo. The Schott would be a nice option.
