As long as we're resurrecting this thread...
IMHO, this is one of the nicest jackets Schott leather has released this year (among others) The Vandals 568 jacket.
Slimmer fit, top sleeves zips, the appointments like back yoke are nicely done; not over the top. I wasn't going to buy anymore leather jackets but, I made the mistake of stopping in the Schott store my last visit to NYC. Soon as I tried this on, I was sold! Super nice!

Really like that one. Fit is perfect. Like the back yoke and the kidney panel design, has the vibe of an old Hercules. I'll have to see if Scott has any of these still in the store when I go to NYC next month...

The jacket reminds me of the 50s Hercules and Oakbrook, but a bit longer and narrower at the shoulders. Very nice.

I think there’s a thread already dedicated to this jacket but, I thought I’d post it here because it’s one of my favorite jackets. Real McCoy’s Cycle Champ.

Resurrecting the thread? Cool, hope y'all don't mind but I'm gonna have some fun with some of the jackets and bikes I have been addicted too!!! I would add that I no longer ride but still enjoy the memories. Let Harley go at age 74.

Probably my favorite bike not the fastest but went out west from Tennessee on it and she road like a dream. I let it go for the Ultra classic which was a much better touring bike for the two of us.

LW Brown Horse J-27 is the one that got away... I still love that one.
IIRC they were sent an Oakbrook to study as well as to follow reference photos of the film character who was in a vintage Hercules, which is why it lands in between those.

You know, the Oakbrook and the Hercules appear to have been made by the same company. Both have almost the same leather, and just about everything about the cut and construction is the very same. However, the oakbrook has a thicker and heavier leather. The only difference is the shoulder wider shoulders on the Hercules. I also have a 60s oakbrook not as nice as the 50s production, but I love it. The cut is a bit longer and it fits great.
