Schott 441 PP arrived in Perth Western Australia

[Downunder G Man]

My most recent purchase out of the UK has arrived today.

A barely used Schott 441 PP , collared café racer/halfbelt

Made in 1991/92 , in beautiful condition. Japanese market jacket apparently !

Black steer ( of course ) , 44 inch chest. "tighter" than my other Schott 44 café racers.

Zip out liner , like my Schott Steerhide 141

Looks "similar" to my Eastman Fleigerjacke from the front.

Zips were 'stiff" , lubed with ZIPCARE LUBE STICK , treated with Pitch Blend leather oil, looks even better now

research finds Gail from Schott saying

The "P" stands for plain, meaning no letters or other embellishment on a jacket that we offer with these types of embellishments. To be honest I do not know why the double "PP" as it has been over 20 years since we gave this jacket a style number. It is possible since the jacket was our japanese distributor the double "PP" stood for "Private Plain". I am certain though that one "P" does stand for Plain.

I'm liking this jacket more and more , been wearing it today. 16C in Perth as a max , cool by our standards.

Came up well with the pitch Blend oil , I let it "soak" in overnight , buff with a terry towel this morning.

Leather is "stiff" , no wonder as it's 25 years old.

Revamping an old thread , hope that fits with protocol ?
Schott steerhide collared 441PP today for the start of our autumn. Max temp 21C today ( last Saturday was 37C !)
At our usual pull up coffee stop. Just had a rather heavy ( and not forecast until the afternoon !) shower.
Oily glassy sea , apparently the worst time for shark attack so as usual we stayed out of the water haha..
The Schott 441PP has a zip out fleece liner , zipped sleeves and three outside zippered pockets. Rare size 44"
Made in the early 90's for the Japanese market as far as I can make out. Ex-ebay UK to me a few years back.
I wear this as a "winter" jacket hence this being it's first Fedora lounge appearance.
( Sorry , I now realise it is the second appearance in 2 and a half years !)
