    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Very weak attempt at a selfie stick (I hate that term) wearing my 141 in the house as its 91 degrees Fahrenheit in FLA. I crack myself up with this obsession as some have labeled it……..leather collecting.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Okay I have been chasing this particular model Perfecto for awhile now , even went as far as to call it my grail piece. The tag size and measurements all seem to line up to being a good fit and now I wait. Will it be what I have dreamed of? Or wind up in the Classifieds?

    Schott Steerhide softness after breaking in

    At this point I am going to tap out as your jacket goes beyond what I know. I am wondering if yours is a European or Japanese market version. Here is an Arrow tag as a reference.

    Schott Steerhide softness after breaking in

    It is a tag sewn inside the jacket , usually below the armhole. Unless someone removed it then that poses a more difficult situation determining what year it is.

    Schott Steerhide softness after breaking in

    If memory serves me correctly Schott started using the Arrow care tag after 2008. Before that they used the Leathercraft tag, So depending on that would help you determine the year. edit. So your 5th number is a 6, if it has a Leathercraft label then it is most likely a 2006.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    This new reality is becoming a threat to my budget for future leather research and acquisition.

    Schott Steerhide softness after breaking in

    I am very interested in how this plays out. I have been chasing a Schott 118 as my grail jacket because of the naked cowhide and fit. I have avoided the Schott steer for a concern of it being too stiff., this may expand my parameters.

    Why a Leather Jacket?

    I can only speak for myself but I have to believe others have a similar thought. Pulling on that leather jacket really does give me a sense of confidence, maybe even a bit of swagger. Let’s face it, not everyone can pull off wearing the leather jacket we spent so much time researching and...

    Why a Leather Jacket?

    As I approach being 60 I have always had a passion for leather jackets since I was about 15 years old., so for me that is the "why" as to the leather jacket appreciation . However, this forum in particular moved me from a casual stroll with my leather to the more intense search and destroy of...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    More of a try on as the Florida heat has moved in but I am missing the leather weather already. Every time I get obsessed over the next cross zip I put on this HD Shovelhead and it reminds me of how near perfect it fits me. Just an easy to throw on piece that I truly enjoy wearing, and that...
