I replied as I did - since you took the time to post it. If it irritates you, have it repaired. Jacket itself looks good.

Beautiful Cal! That back length would not work for me - 23"

^^ Those are excellent jackets, way under-rated. I never had a one-piece back model. Enjoy it!

Perhaps not a "taboo" but a lost art - the giving of Thank You cards after Christmas, weddings, graduations, etc. Or maybe it's just the we have all found out - what do we do with all this later in life? :)

on ebay now too: https://www.ebay.com/itm/156215388527

List each one on the "Classified" section. Provide full dimensions and photos. Just look through some of the existing ads. Seems teh one that take time to list them well do pretty well here.

Much cooler photos that I posted of the Bates. :) It's getting quite warm here (87F today) however soon I may search out a better place to take the tripod-mounted shots such as you're doing here.

If you bought it new - YES. Contact Schott, send it in for repair.

Certainly never seen that before. Good luck, it's too bad but yes I agree something is off here.

Up for offer to *established* members of this forum is a pair of well broken in, but not worn out, pair of White's Farmer-Rancher boots. These are slightly lower arch boots from the Packers, however still stitch-down constructed, hand-sown and hand-bottomed. Production date appears to be...

Just for a little while this morning before it got too warm, had to put the Bates on. I just love this thing!

Thanks for all you are doing here Peacoat! I'll sure keep my eyes open... Also I was making up an add for boots and I added some of this detail right into the ad itself. Not sure if it will help but I can at least try it.

This exactly. If you want a Tee-shirt slim fit consider a Board Racer, or slighty looser, a 4-pocket Cafe Racer. The 30's Half-belt is notably slimmer than a 50-half belt, however Aero do a slim-fit as a Premier 1930's Half Belt. Details here...

A Bates - Cape. Pullover. Not something you're likely to see very often. $269 w/offer M/L size https://www.ebay.com/itm/362605477085?

^^ Excellent choice! Fits you great there as well. Yeah that nice, soft, heavy leather is something you simply have to experance to understand. :)
