    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I got it with the fur collar, which is very nice and may get some use in the colder months, and the throat latch, which is very unlikely to! No belt. I went for the goat as it seems to be what they specialise in and their most reliable leather, and I figured a leather with a bit more elasticity...

    FS: Cidu 641XX style cafe racer S/36 £125

    FS: Cidu 641XX style cafe racer S/36 £125 Mixed feelings about selling this as I may not find a better fitting cafe racer! Thing is, I don’t ever reach for it—I may not be a cafe racer sort of person—and I’ve committed to having no more than 7 jackets! So on the block is this Cidu Schott...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    The LAPD arrived, finally! As I mentioned, recent experiences on this thread had me quite pessimistic about the likely outcome, but maybe that expectation management was a good thing, as I’m pretty delighted with the result—initial thoughts below. The good: I think they pretty much nailed the...

    Vintage Schott-Beck Motorcycle Jackets

    Ah that figures. It does appear to be heavy wear areas rather than hidden ones—I was confused as to why they used leather on e.g. the underside of the epaulettes but vinyl on the inner pocket. And in fairness to the marketing the vinyl parts of mine do look factory fresh, though I’ve seen those...

    Vintage Schott-Beck Motorcycle Jackets

    Yes and yes. An unwelcome reappearance of the pleather on a vertical inside pocket (really Schott? How much money did using these 3 offcut-sized pieces of vinyl save?): And a very succinct pocket ticket—it was sold as a 36 but this explains why it’s so fitted!: Single-stitched pointed...

    Vintage Schott-Beck Motorcycle Jackets

    How funny, I picked up a 999 yesterday and posted it to WJAYWT, not realising there was an active thread for these! To my inexpert eye, mine appears to be the same as @jeo ’s 5th version but with the Beck Arnley label: Same seam construction, same vinyl gussets but leather inner hem etc.—the...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Just picked up an early 70’s Beck Arnley 999 (likely a precursor to the Schott 125) in size 34. It’s the smallest size I can get away with but I don’t have any T Shirt fit jackets and I think the 70s cut of the sleeves works far better for me than my 90s Schott. The leather isn’t my most...

    Aero Motorcycle Jacket in Black CXL FQHH, 38 (short sleeves) £225

    Oh dear. Looks like another trip to the tailors may be this jacket’s best hope to avoid similar extinction. Will leave this up until Saturday then it’s off to Brick Lane to see if it can be slimmed down to my size!

    What's with the Kadoya all of the sudden?

    I can beat that. Not only did I commission my own variant of your now infamous design (albeit with some minor revisions), I still have it and it remains one of my favourite jackets to wear. Not even sorry! (This shot is while still wrinkled from shipping, though I’m sure that’s the least...

    Chinese leather jackets

    I have bought Cidu and Simons from both Red Tornado/Al’s Store/Rock can Roll (all same guy) and from YR (who also operates under many names. There’s a big markup over manufacturer price (worth it if there’s free returns IMO) and these vary wildly. Sometimes the same model is cheaper to buy from...

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    Can anyone identify this women’s Schott CHP? In my hunt for the perfect side-laced cross zip I came across this jacket, which I suspected would be perfect for my partner, and nabbed it. But it’s bugging me that I can’t identify it. In the good old days Gail would have known I’m sure, but maybe...

    Ok now I am frustrated. They have put them on upside down. Also suspect back ones are significantly higher than the front ones.

    Aero Motorcycle Jacket in Black CXL FQHH, 38 (short sleeves) £225

    I’m not having much luck with Aeros (note to self, stop trying 50s cuts)! Got this from a very helpful seller on eBay but realised too late that the sleeves have been altered and are short in comparison to the chest which is (again) too boxy for me. I’m going to offer it up here in case anyone...
