    Aero has a new leather called Pinnacle

    That's really amazing. And July is perfectly fine, as the family member I want to gift it to won't really be able to wear it until autumn anyway! Do you mind if I email you some questions? I don't think I've got your email.

    Aero has a new leather called Pinnacle

    Can someone who has got samples (or @Hide'n'seek if he has the time) inform about what tone the brown Pinnacle is? Is it similar to CXL's brown? I have been wanting to get a jacket for a family member in Pinnacle for ages and now we're in the same place so I can take measurements.

    Legendary USA Black Stallion is Back

    I had mentioned earlier that it makes more sense to buy the Aero J-106 over the non-Schott Black Stallion given it's cheaper. With this month's Aero sale, it's a no brainer.

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    I have one of the factory samples of the ribbon tag repro. Very cool jacket even though it doesn't quite fit me. Definitely the coolest label.

    Ding dong, the old pattern is dead!

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    Identical measurements to the 613S(H), which should help prospective buyers. The -US model isn’t quite a repro of the 60s models. The American -S/SH actually goes further by reproducing the labels of that time. It has the miter buckle, but that was a feature from the 50s until the 80s...

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    To bring it full circle, this jacket is the JDM version of the 613SH.

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    They're definitely not super long. Where the Japanese descriptions talk about a 'longer version', that's just getting at standard western length. But for an illustration of how downsized they are, I hooked a skinny guy with a 34" chest up with one of them in 38 and it was a snug fit. The new...

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    It used to have the absurd Schott Japan fit that gave size 44 a 20" P2P. That changed over the past year or so, so older stock of Schott Japan jackets (as well as certain current models) will not fit anything like what they're labeled.

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    Do you know when it's from? About a decade ago they were doing longer versions of a lot of jackets which have now thankfully been discontinued.

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    It looks long in the photos for me too, but the Schott website says it's 25" long, which means it'll be general Perfecto length (accounting for size). The longer jackets say 26" in that field.

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    It’s one inch longer than the 613US (the standard JDM Perfecto, which is 1 inch shorter than the Western ones.) The UST (‘tall’) and SJH get an additional inch which makes them standard Perfecto length.

    fit check schott 118

    They do but the mouton has to be ordered from the repairs department; it’s not available readymade. That said, because the 618 and 118 do have an available standard size readymade faux mouton collar, I imagine you could simply ask to order one without having to send your jacket for measuring and...

    Aero sale annoucement

    Given Aero has the best price anywhere on CXL, that makes the most sense for this offer.

    Aero sale annoucement

    Yes I used to feel the same way about unused belt loops, but when you think of them as basically visual accents to balance (and, of course, if you ever wished to you could attach a real belt–rather than a jacket cloth belt–upon which you could actually hang things as policemen or outdoorsmen do)...

    Aero sale annoucement

    I know a lot of people do it but I find the J-106/Buco design loses something in the empty space when there is no belt there. I would recommend just getting the loops, even if not the belt. I like epaulettes but they don’t have quite the same effect. As for the shoulder gussets, I think they’re...

    Does anyone know what this leather jacket is?

    Given the current Aero sale, I’d say get one of their Board Racer jackets with just one chest pocket.

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    Sort of. The sizing is basically a match for the 613S(H) except the number is one bigger, so a 44 in the 613SJH measures pretty much exactly like a 42 in the 613SH. As a result, it looks slightly shorter given the same number size. I think Schott has recently ‘unified’ the pattern for all of...

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    I have both. In the same size, they’re both exceptionally wearable. The Ridley/slim bike pattern (mine is specced with bi-swing shoulders–noting because I expect they make a difference) is quite excellent, but so is the 613S(H) pattern. Visually, the Ridley/slim bike is more of a Y shape, while...
