So I picked one of these to and wanted to give my comparison between the two jackets. I have had a Schott pea coat for the last few years and wear it when I go to work. (Live in Japan and walk 20 minutes from station to job) but I have been itching to pick up a vintage that is not a melton and...
I know but I was hoping to get as close as possible without having to buy a new one. The seller did not post length and there was only 30 mins before auction was over so I decided to chance it. All in $400 is not too bad so I will keep it just in case I gain weight again lol.
So after selling my size 42 which was a little short in the arms and looking out for a size 44 and buying my Y2 leather jacket I was able to pick up a brown halfbelt in size 44. I have to say that I need a size 42 with longer sleeves and not a size 44. After wearing my Y2 leather jacket I feel...
They ran out of my size before I could get to the store so had no choice
QUOTE="Marc mndt, post: 2739422, member: 47421"]That does look great on you. Congrats! Personally I'm not a huge fan of a center back seam running from top to bottom but clearly that's just personal preference...
How you liking you jacket so far?
My biggest issue is I can't seem to figure out what kind of shirt I should wear with it. I need to wear polos for work but hmm
So while in waiting for my Y2 leather jacket to get completed I bought another jacket.
Just a few photos after 8 hours of cleaning and using horse oil on it over the past 2 days.
Older style and not sure what I think about it yet but will try it out for a few days and see how it goes.

Not sure if you seen this but might be perfect timing lol someone just posted one
Yes faster then I was hoping for. But maybe that's because I took a loss on some of my Schotts leather jackets. Downside of losing weight and jackets no longer fitting makes it easier to sell for cheaper lol.
The deed has been done, 1400 later and hopefully in November I will be getting a HVR-42 with 3cm extensions on the sleeves. So 4 for one trade. 2 schotts and 2 Aero leather jackets for a single y2 leather jacket. Will update once jacket arrives.
P.S was able to try on a pony leather jacket...
