    Legendary USA Black Stallion is Back

    Indeed, the same money will get you a top shelf Vanson.

    Attempt #2 - Schott PER70 ( S ! )

    If the jacket shoulder is smaller than your shoulder it won’t fit. Size up (or personally I’d recommend going back to the 613 in 40).

    N-2B jacket recommendation

    Buzz Rickson's is the best one IMO but there are options at every budget. I would search Japanese auctions/selling sites via Buyee to see what you can turn up. Also I'll note that slim fit means a different thing to different makers. With many/most it does mean genuinely super-slim (which is a...

    Leather Patriot Jacket by Nicks Boots

    From what I’ve heard from people who work there, Ship John management are not people I want to support.

    Schott 613 - fit check

    Yes the rain transformed my size 42 613SH from feeling slightly too big in some places to fitting perfectly. As for the PER70 in M and 613 in 40, they actually fit almost identically except the shoulders and hem are slightly smaller on the PER70. I think the main thing you are encountering is...

    Schott 613 - fit check

    Shoulders are dead on. The jacket body itself will fit much closer once those big panels break in. With the stiff panels Schott uses for the 613/618, if it seems to fit dead on close when brand new, it will be too small soon. If it fits in the shoulders but feels slightly big or comfortable in...

    Schott 613 - fit check

    Looks solid. It’ll look amazing once worn hard.

    Altering waist in 4 oz HH jacket?

    Aero would know best, but my understanding was that they didn't do repair work on brands with skived seams, but most American makers both historic and modern don't skive their seams.

    Regius Made Leather Jacket

    Yeah I'm picturing some kind of hybrid like that, not a frankenjacket but based on a historical example Regius probably knows about.

    Legendary USA Black Stallion is Back

    While I don’t think anyone who owns the original should buy this one, I would love to see this jacket next to a Schott-made one of the same size. If my budding theory is correct, they had the Schott jacket (and thus the patterning work of the Schott team) duplicated by their new supplier, which...

    Question from a newbie: Why are Schott jackets not liked on such an authoritative resource as Fedora? Is it related to quality/design? Or with both?

    Meaning what? The mainstream retailer collab Schotts are not made with flimsy materials. They’re standard jackets with a switch in leather color or lining, like when Nordstrom had its own run of the 519 with a wine rayon lining instead of quilted nylon. I’ve never seen that kind of heavy end of...

    Legendary USA Black Stallion is Back

    Pattern looks great, leather looks like a waste. Fair to assume they sent the Schott-made jacket to be copied in this material? After all, they're still listing it on their site by the Schott model number, lol. Incidentally, the guy who posted that is a custom hatter. Maybe he should check out TFL!

    Legendary USA Black Stallion is Back

    Yeah, I really don't like this, and it's not because of my personal views. I dislike stores that market through politics, whether it's Legendary USA doing righty virtue signaling or Standard & Strange doing lefty virtue signaling. Keep it off the business page.

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    What will you use to lube the zipper? I got an amazing Vanson at their factory (brand new but I think it was old stock because it was Octagon leather so the zipper doesn't run as smooth as new-new Vansons.)

    Decent A2

    Aero's Quartermaster collection is what you should go for. £400 for an excellent A-2. Ken has even mentioned that if you're hoping for a particular thing you can ask them and they can try to queue it up. There's a 46 available now.

    Question from a newbie: Why are Schott jackets not liked on such an authoritative resource as Fedora? Is it related to quality/design? Or with both?

    The anti-Schott attitude is mostly in old threads from 10 years ago when people thought jackets should only be made of 4oz horsehide (which turned out being relabeled cowhide…) and that anything that wasn't Aero or Japanese was bad. Once we got more vintage fans in here, the qualities of...

    Schott per70 M size - fit check

    Looks good. If you want to fine tune it a bit, you can get a 613S in size 38 (which will fit exactly between the S and M sizes of the PER70).

    The Legendary DURABLE (Wild One) Jacket

    Ah no, I meant I'm used to seeing jackets in either buckle or snap variants, not usually both on one belt.
