    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I think @Mysteryo has made one or more............. as @handymike says, there are threads on this here. I don't have the space or the equipment or the experience to do any of my own leather tailoring but I would love to eventually and I am always interested when someone in here takes something...

    Great price it seems. If this fits you its a no brainer. The zippers alone are worth it IMO

    Looks like a Cal SZ but the Zippers don't scream 50s to me.......Scant sizing details. I think its priced too high but it does have offer option...

    Well said. Schott has its place. I have had and still have a few. Some I need to list for size reasons but a few I won't ever sell. I don't mean to be disrespecting Schott at all with my previous posts. I hope that I'm not giving off that vibe.

    Yeah agreed. Every time I thought I had the Perfecto figured out, I see something else with the label. Its cool..... the guy literally named the jacket after his favorite cigar (which I LOVE!!) Clearly marketing wasn't being strongly contemplated at that time beyond picking a catchy name...

    Not to hate on Schott, but to me, they didn't/don't market the brand effectively so as to separate the Perfecto in any discernable way beyond a non Perfecto. Like----its not a different level of quality or anything. Just some they slap a Perfecto label on and some a Schott label. I know the...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I have seen this and it is a great tool. What is confusing is that they also use another Crest Label that is a non Perfecto label --- during I think the same period as the Cactus label. I have a brown 654 with this label on it (tho mine is a size 48). Same main zipper as this Cactus one...

    I understand that you CAN date Schotts by their labels. Gail Hawkins (RIP) on the Schott Forum used to be able to be pretty accurate on date via the labels. She was like the Schott Yoda!!!! But to me, it seems that perhaps these are not absolutes because they seem to have used different...

    Don't know if this is roughout or suede but I don't think I have ever seen a Bates in either style hide. Not really ideal for ride gear I would think. But a cool jacket nonetheless......

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    The feeling when you put on a vintage jacket and your body knows it fits before your mind and as it sinks in you realize you have a keeper is special. I think a Tito's is in order to celebrate the score. Congrats bro.

    Dude, I cry FOUL!!! @ton312 I seem to recall someone using your handle and writing in a strikingly similar manner as you do stating---here in THIS very forum---and for the RECORD mind you----that you were OUT OF THE VINTAGE BUSINESS for good!!!!!!! NOW you pull a Pacino in Godfather III and...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Interesting. Just my 2 Cents--- Not every jacket in ANY style is going to be perfect for daily wear. I think if you are collecting, every jacket style sorta has its place---at least for me. That said, I only have 3 police jackets. One of the three is a truly comfy one because its well...

    I like the non D pocket fronted CZ. Not that the D pocket is bad---but this uncluttered look is really clean IMO.
