And that’s all that tag is for. The traditional tag on the collar area and the one inside the coin pocket or d pocket in your case are the only tags that identify make model and year.Arrow is the name of the dry cleaning company Schott recommends for professional cleaning services. What kind of tag does his have? And if you want more detailed answers about anything Schott related they have a forum and they are pretty responsive to most questions. And there are several users who have immense Schott knowledge who can help you out. It can be found here

@RILO , @Guppy was trying to help you. For sure he confused between you & Goodkareem, but please do take his advise in good stead. Your question wasn't very clear, but now that we understand your query, I guess you can either go basis good faith(most favored way around here), or going a bit extreme, maybe agree to a fair value(Say $800 for each jacket) and go for paypal 'Goods & Services' option. Each person pays the other the same amount and ships the respective jacket once payment received. This may sound a bit much, but this is only if you really want to have some kind of guarantee involvedsorry mate.
Goodkareem put his CXL113 XLarge WTS WTT correct.
I RILO have the same Jacket on a Large size just like yours...
and we want to trade. Therefore the Help Thread.
Thanks on the price lecture but out of topic. Sure he can ask what he wants for it and that be that.

Good info. And yeah Gail really was the best. Super responsive, knew her stuff. And on the rare occasion she didn’t have it on hand, she would look it up and check the records for you. She was fantastic. I haven’t been in the forums a ton recently but they have still been answering from a few different users. Actually Jason Schott answered a few I saw. But there are a bunch of users who troll that forum that have been super helpful in the past that may know. But as Guppy says defer to the experts. I would email Schott or use the forum!I'd have to defer to the real Schott experts, sadly Gail passed away a few months ago, but perhaps they have someone else on staff who has taken over for her in identifying jackets, but she was far and away the expert with decades of irreplaceable knowledge.
It'd be very interesting if Schott tagged a limited run of 50 jackets differently from one to the next. I can't imagine a good reason for doing so, other than to increment a serial number and correctly indicate the size.
My jacket has the Arrow cleaner tag, on the wearer's right side, and the Schott Perfecto brand tag up by the collar. I do not find a model tag like @Goodkareem has on his jacket, but perhaps I'm just not looking in the right spot. There's only the D-pocket, cigarette pocket, and the inside pocket though, so I've run out of places to look.
I'm not an expert, but I'm confident mine is an authentic Schott x Context CX113; I do recognize Horween CXL when I see it. But I did not buy mine new, and it did not come with its original box, hanger, or hang tags.
To my knowledge Schott did do a very similar looking model, 629, in a brown leather that is NOT natural Horween CXL, but looks similar in photos. They've also done the 1928 D-pocket style in other leathers a few times over the years. It's unlikely they did so in a lining that would be confused for the lining in the Context collaboration jacket, though. I am curious about the differences in tags, but would not worry terribly much about it, although I'd love to know the answers if someone can cite an authority on the subject.
Here's photos showing my tags:
