A 1983 Schott Perfecto 125 in naked cowhide. The hide on this is noticeably different to my late 80s 125. It has a soft, waxy hand with a brown undertone rather than the usual grey.
This has some age appropriate scuffing to the leather and the leather has worn at the fold on the sleeve gussets...
This is a 70s Golden Bear CHP with lovely brass talon zippers rebadged and sold by the colourfully named Male Hide Leathers Chicago. A very triangular cut 38 (do check the hem measurement which is slim!).
There is some scuffing of the top layer of leather on the collar and wrists, all...
DAMN if this were longer…. (I would have already missed the boat)
A bit tempted by the following but put off by the white restitching and reline. Anyone know who made this...
Wondering if it is indeed quite particular to Schotts, and indeed Becks, not to fold down when fully zipped up, at least without weird asymmetry. I know schotts have unusually small lapels as compared to other classic cross zip designs, which places the zip further from the shoulder and closer...
While some cross zips (e.g. my Cal repro and most British Lewis types) can zip up all the way with the collar turned down shirt collar style, most schotts in my experience can only be fully zipped with the collar ‘popped’, which is good for wind and rain but less versatile!
I find it hard to get into post-apocalyptic survival of the fittest scenarios because my desire for community/pleasure/not having to attack someone with a machete for water all outweigh my meagre desire for survival. After some consideration I will wear a crisp linen shirt paired with jeans and...
Superdry Dry collection (Japan made) Type II. Aging is a bit OTT for my taste but it’s hard to find any accurate Type II styles, Levi’s or otherwise, for under £100 so I was very happy to snag this on Vinted for £30!
I just had one of these for less on classifieds (it had been tramp stamped though) but sadly it’s gone via ebay. This iteration seems small even by Schott standards though, mine was more like a 34.
Though it hasn’t stopped this very optimistic asking price for the worst GB I’ve ever seen: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116043733370?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=YErWQafZQtC&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=9G0TgC0oTh6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Late to the weird orange fibres party but could these in fact be the hairs of the hapless cow/horse that became this jacket? Someone more knowledgeable about leather can weigh in on whether the hair follicles are included in the layers used to make leather but given that we can see the pores in...
