How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

[Monitor]

Where are the fit pics? This looks brilliant. We need them now!

Some crappy ones in the WJAYWT.

Not for me so you will have to take my words when I say the fit is spot on

Hercules Leather Co jacket that I ordered while back is done and on its way:

Ooh! I'm very interested in your findings on this. That's the exact Hercules I've got my eye on for when the >counts up< five jackets I've currently got listed on eBay free up some funds.

Apologies if @Bennarion (because of course) has already posted this on the Finds And Deals thread and I've missed it, but I've been eyeing this Schott for a bit now.

It appears to be a CHP style cross zip, with side laces instead of a belt - but it's brown. I like that, but had no idea it was a thing.

Thoughts?

I believe that’s a Schott 125 no? They are nice but the squared rear lower panel always looked odd to me.

Speaking of mindless piling up of jackets, just unboxed this.

Good lord. I do believe you are done.

Can’t wait to hear your thoughts! Looks fantastic!

I think it's not a CHP but more a brown classic Perfecto.
It appears in brown it's called a 115:

Mine had a model number 125 as well but yeah, it's just a belt-less Schott Perfecto with side laces. The idea behind these was so that you could use the belt you wanted - or none at all. I've actually seen more brown 125's than black.

Actually you are right, model number doesn't vary by colour but by year:

From Gail: 125 has a zip-out liner and the 115 has a quilt lining. We have made both these Naked Cowhide styles in our line throughout the years. The 125 starting in 1978 to 2014, the 115 in 1983 & 1984. The 615 Steerhide version were from 1970-1979, then again in 1985 & 1986. The 625 was only offered in 1978.

The Jean Shop NYC cafe racer finally arrived.

Wait, Jean... What?

Indeed.

Nice! Justin Theroux has one in black, looks rad. If you're not a fan and its a 22" P2P (ish) gimme a shout.

Theroux is how I found out about the brand. Actually truly fantastic jacket. Heavy-ish, beautiful leather, crazy warm. It fits me everywhere just perfectly except that the gut is 10" too roomy. I think it'd be the same for anyone. Were these custom made or something? I'm still trying to decide whether to have it tailored or sell it. I doubt I'll see one soon, though...

The dude rocks a CR.

I didn't think they were, but that's a pretty wack measurement. Theroux's one will be custom or at least very expensively tailored.

I think if you were to get something done to a leather jacket, that's one of the 'easier' fixes. Might be worth enquiring about if you like everything else about it.

That's what I am thinking, looking at the photos again. There's just no way a regular size in which this jacket fits anyone that good, exists. Only makes sense, though...

I love everything else about it. That's why I'm so reluctant to just resell it for what would only be a nice little profit.

No wonder Theroux switched to these guys from that Fidelity. This CR is as good as anything vintage.

But the numbers measure up and the price was right.
Scratching a little crosszip itch this Friday morn.

Looks like a Lesco to me. They're good jackets.

 

[Gamma68]

^^ Yep, Lesco immediately came to mind for me as well. An underrated brand. Lesco often sewed the tag into the zip-in lining. That’s why so many of them go unidentified by sellers, if the lining is missing.
