Schott really expanding its jacket lines

[bobjones]

It's not heavyweight by TFL standards and it drapes very naturally once broken in just a bit.

But my answer was based mostly on patterning itself.

I had FQHH Aeros which weighed 6-8 lbs and were absolute tanks, and don't want to have to deal with a jacket that stiff and heavy again. The SP540 is likely as much as I'm willing to carry at this point, but I'm going to the sale next weekend so maybe I'll try a 689H on, maybe it isn't as heavy as I suspect.

You should. I'm still kicking myself for passing up the opportunity to get one new for $500…

Damn I need to get me a heavyweight aero. One day I’ll get me a Hercules repro

4 lbs? Holy ****! And I thought it was a thin lightweight spring jacket, ha ha. Looks real good though. So maybe I'll have to get it for fall then.

LOL. I have a Fox Creek Men’s Classic II Motorcycle Jacket that weighs 9.6lbs! It weighs a ton when I pick it up, but don't really notice the weight while wearing it.

Their 188 and new 642 are very comparable to Enfeild and Model B.

I hope they copy some of the Aero pieces just to avoid duties

I would like to think that Schott were more of a stand up company than to copy Aero pieces .

Remember when Aero export they have already removed UK tax so prices in the US aren't too dissimilar to what a UK customer pays

LOL I think he was being facetious.
