    What is a pristine Eastman Roadstar worth?

    My 44 is currently with Dena getting a new two way main zipper so the amount that I have invested in it is going up a bit (haven‘t gotten the bill yet). Usually I just try to break even on any sales I do here at the Lounge. If I’m able to get the 46, I’ll try them both and keep the better fit of...

    What is a pristine Eastman Roadstar worth?

    I (fairly) recently bought a black size 44 in excellent condition for $650. I would offer you the same amount for your 46.

    Great Leather/LCS repair Dena is AMAZING!!

    She has my ELMC Roadstar for a main zipper upgrade and indicated that it was in the acceptable range (thickness wise). Crosszips seem to be extra challenging though, particularly where lapel snaps have been installed over seams and the potential difficulty of sourcing exact replacements. I opted...

    Greetings from a Leather Jacket Enthusiast!

    You have a Schott Perfecto. If it fits properly, your leather jacket journey is now complete.…you’re all set. Maybe apply a little Pecards to it every ten years or so. Thanks for stopping by.

    Vintage Excelled Cafe Racer Jacket

    Looks like a good score Peter! I‘ve always said that the Excelled patterns are some of the best ever. During a purge, I sold an Excelled cross zip that might be the best fitting jacket that I’ve ever had. It had seen better days but I wish I’d kept it as a fit jacket to use if I ever decided to...

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    I think it looks good with the layers you’ve got under it. If it ends up looking too loose with just a t-shirt, you’ve just got to hit the gym harder to fix it.

    eBay: One jacket from Japan, multiple auctions, multiple sellers??

    I’m quickly approaching 1100 eBay transactions, many of them the comings and goings of leather jackets. Out of all these, I tried buying from a Japanese seller ONE time. I did a “buy it now” on a Schott 642 and paid immediately. After several days and a few inquiries, it turns out that the...

    Best cross zip or double rider jacket

    I have one coming on Monday that was around $200. I just got my 1099-k form from eBay. I think I bought and sold around 10 Perfectos last year, most in the $250-$400 range and none had any sizing variations beyond slight tweaks to the patterns over the years and maybe a bit of...

    Best cross zip or double rider jacket

    I think instead of attempting a challenging “one and done and approach”, I’d embrace the journey and start with a used Schott 613 or 618 for $350 on eBay. This would help you determine if this style is right for you and start helping you to get dialed in on sizing and how the jacket’s...

    How should leather trucker jackets fit?

    Spot on! It’s such a good fit, that if it needs to become a one layer only jacket then so be it. Great taper on that thing!

    Overlap (or lack thereof) on the unzipped chest of cross-zip and double rider perfecto style motorcycle jackets

    The perfect (when unzipped) look from a cross-zip jacket seems to come from buying one a size smaller than you would normally wear. I guess I’ll need 42 for open, 44 for tshirt and 46 for hoody.

    The new Schott Shinki Horsehide P642H

    Looks good gold! Could you do me a favor and measure the back length from the base of the collar to the bottom. I really like everything about this jacket except the (listed) 26 inch length. Thanks

    The new Schott Shinki Horsehide P642H

    These pics (and info) were from the Facebook introduction and there are a few things that are described differently on the Schott website. One was the gussets. The actual Schott site says “Leather sleeve flap behind sleeve zippers”. Is this “flap” attached to only one side? If so, that seems...

    The new Schott Shinki Horsehide P642H

    Schott seems to be on a pretty good roll as of late. I’ve liked all three of their latest offerings.

    How do you treat your hard-to-replace (vintage, expensive/high-end, limited edition, etc.) jackets?

    If someone is collecting jackets with no intention of wearing them, do they still buy them in their own size?
