My first Schott incoming….a little salty, but I bet she’ll clean up nicely.

Man, I waffled on this but ultimately decided to pass. I'm not the collector connoisseur that you are Terry, but knowing your praise for Seattle Woolen I was tempted. Definitely wearable, but a bit too much character for me to wear on a regular basis.
Looking forward to you getting your hands on it for additional photos and your analysis.

It is a collectors piece, no real utility value. This one is most likely from the late 30s with this label. It appears to have some issues with the side sewing, but the overall condition looks good.
This style has little interest I have found.
I made an offer and got it. For for me, it is a great piece of vintage clothing and a bargain.
I too am looking forward to hands on. I will do a review, I promise.

Nice! The “ribbon labels” are the best of the Perfectos.
I have both this one and the later early 60’s model with the pointed epaulette. My earlier one is a 38 so it’s a tad big. My later one is a 36 and the best fitting MC jacket I’ve ever had.
This late 50’s “ribbon label” model with the double stitched rounded epaulettes and the French seams in the back has the best Perfecto cut of all time IMO.
It has a more generous front and waist, a slightly bigger front drop and shoulders that are rotated forward very much like the cut of the Durable, which is the best MC jacket design of all time IMO both in terms of looks and in terms of functionality.

Copy Cat! I had a couple like this. Note they usually have a set of mismatched zipper. This looks like a crown main. This is their standard Police jacket, probably late 40s. One of this style I owned was one of the heaviest vintage jackets I've owned.

Indeed - I’ve been looking for one ever since you had the second one up for sale.
As far as I can tell, the main zipper is the original Crown, and the two outer pockets plus inside pocket are the V-Talon type. Will confirm when it shows up.

That V is 1943 or so. Nice find. I have not seen one like this since I sold mine.
Most guys can’t measure 6” let alone one. I’m no exception. Jumped on this Schott Rancher b/c it was a whopping 1” longer:
Vs it’s hyper short predecessor:
Bottom line is that an inch means about as much to a jacket as it does your girl….
Jack shit.
No more sweating the “small” stuff.

You're not happy with the extra body length? Your new jacket looks great to me.

2 new Aeros just ordered - a Shackleton and Hercules, both in the new cognac Pinnacle hide….
I think they look exactly the same honestly. The 1” really didn’t make a lick of difference which I just found humorous.

Posted and sold. I’ll take it. Dunno if it’ll fit

I love the style but I do think it's a women's jacket, judging by the chin strap which is positioned on the right hand side. I'm not sure it will affect the fit though, I don't see any chest darts so it might as well be unisex.

Stuff that I bought last month.
Hermes blazer - Too small but a work of art it is.
Dsquared2 leather blazer - I don't even know why I bought this stupid thing. It's the color of a pig.
Bikkembergs blazer - Very nice but too large.

I’ve got these two incoming:
And this one came in recently but it needs work. The lining is thrashed and the zippers need replacing. Still, it’s the cal of my dreams:
