Kicking this thread back open to see if anyone has tried "Buffalo Jackson" tracker jacket. This is made of goatskin, and looks pretty decent for a $400 USD jacket in the photos. Sleeves on this one sure seem to crease up nicely...
Welcome to Fedora Lounge Silent, hope you find this community helpful and friendly.
I am a little late to this party, I think you are making a good choice here. The Schott product is excellent, and I think you will have no regrets.
My other comments are that the Field leathers, while highly...
So I just want to weigh in here and say that this didn't work out for my buddy - got cold feet and was really not after a leather jacket after all. So this awesome jacket is headed back to the OP now. I hope it find a great home!
What may not have been as clearly communicated in this...
That is sharp, sad it's been "modified" (belt loop cut off, but belt remains) and the sleeve area needs repairs. Might make a good $300 vintage jacket, eh?
Normally, cross-zip jackets from "The Alley" in Chicago were mall-quality jackets. This red & black two-tone one looks to be better overall and is all intact, with a liner and pretty cool details. $150 BIN or bid & win...Size M...

This sounds similar to my experience with Frye pull-on boots.
"Bench-made" brown leather harness models, look and feel amazing -- till you get them on.
Difficult to walk in, hard to sort fit-wise, I bought & returned 2 pair of these to a local store in Wisconsin. Tried them on extensively...
Carrie often has some in stock, reach out to her and see what may be incoming (or order through here, she's just north of you in Seattle)

^^ Appreciate the honest assessment of these. Everything you indicate here is what I found to be true in ~ 6 years of ownership. I never wore these as "work" pants (as in - into my workplace) rather on weekends and working around my house, etc. And the 70F temp cutoff is real. They break in...
Very very nice! Hope we can see some nice outdoor photos of it soon (not going to happen in my area very soon).
Neat project and good to know such a one-off jacket could exist.

I have a buddy in a local College on the Rugby team who always admires my jackets, but cannot ever find one to fit him. This would be quite a gift to him if it works out! :)
