    Seeking Opinions on Schott for 3sixteen Modified B-6 Bomber Shearling Jacket

    I think what it means is that for some folks, having a jacket as close to the original make (repro) is highly desirable. That’s why real mccoys and buzz rickson make a lot of $$$ since their jackets are an exact replica of the original vintage jackets. L

    Seeking Opinions on Schott for 3sixteen Modified B-6 Bomber Shearling Jacket

    A thread update: I ended up ordering the jacket but have not received it yet. I’ll share my opinions and some pics here when I receive it! In the end I made my decision on having something that didn’t stand out as much as an authentic B6 or B3 with the exposed shearling on the cuffs and hem. I...

    Seeking Opinions on Schott for 3sixteen Modified B-6 Bomber Shearling Jacket

    Greetings Fedora Lounge members, I'm currently on the hunt for a nice shearling jacket and came across this one made by Schott for 3sixteen. It looks cool at first glance but then I notice the details and things get a little interesting. I'm not quite sure what to make of it. For example...

    Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update

    Interesting thread. I've always fancied a Himel bros Heron but the high price was always a deterrent. But I'm convinced now to not take the plunge. Most expensive jacket i've owned was a flat head delraiser that cost $2500. Lovely, impeccably made jacket if you're looking at craftsmanship and...

    WTB: 3sixteen x Schott Type 3S, Medium

    Was this the one being advertised on grailed ebay? Apart from the sleeves which look short to me, the shoulders look good

    Does HorseHide become buttery soft?

    that looks beautifully soft! If my jacket broke in like that i think I would be very happy. What's that style of jacket if you don't mind me asking?

    Does HorseHide become buttery soft?

    Beautiful! Mine looks just like that. could you share a picture of your whole jacket? It'll be cool to see what it looks like now.

    Does HorseHide become buttery soft?

    That's hardcore! But I dig your methods :) I'm not looking to speed up the process. I am wearing it every day as it is and it's broken in and not as stiff as it was on day 1. I was just wondering today if it would end up becoming buttery soft if I kept wearing it for the next 10 years. Because...

    Does HorseHide become buttery soft?

    Yeah that was the day I received it. It's no longer like that. I believe they use the same style shinki for all their jackets. Is yours teacore as in brown overdyed black? Mine is like that. Yeah I have no issues wearing it to break it in. Not looking to speed up the process. I was just...

    Does HorseHide become buttery soft?

    https://imgur.com/a/Xy0TrkE Appreciate all the good responses here. Buttery soft is a difficult term to define, as you said it has different meanings and interpretations depending on the individual. For me, buttery soft would just mean soft and pliable to the touch and it drapes nicely, having...

    Does HorseHide become buttery soft?

    The leather is vegetable tanned, and 1.3mm horsehide. I think that is considered midweight. It's also a brown core underneath and black on top. I noticed this as the jacket has broken in.

    Does HorseHide become buttery soft?

    Hello! Longtime lurker and beneficiary of all the wisdom on this forum. I own a flat head leather jacket in shinki horsehide (first leather jacket). It's breaking in nicely but I am curious as I don't have much experience with leather. But will horsehide ever break in till it becomes buttery...
