    Schott 689H fit and long term wear

    Are there any discernable differences between the hide in it and the hide used in say the 613SH/618HH?

    Schott 689H fit and long term wear

    Thank you kindly! That was the detail I was looking for! Lucked out on the gene lottery where the men on both sides of the tree branch are flat bellied, so the extra mid section space is unnecessary, and therefore always opt for the more tapered options. If it has your seal of approval as...

    Schott 689H fit and long term wear

    Cheers. How was the fit? Was yours's size same as your chest size?

    Good to know, @Guppy. Hopping to get more elucidation.

    Schott 689H fit and long term wear

    Howdy folks, hope everyone is having a splendid day. Been considering some cafe style jackets lately. Initially, the 641HH was the one I am considering, but stumbled across the 689H from Schott and it stood out to me. Now, it's possible that I am off, as I am waiting to get the measurements...

    Is this acceptable for a 1st quality Schott?

    @Peacoat @Bennarion @Manolito Much obliged gents. Tags are off, started taming the beast.

    That bad, huh? Haha cheers.

    Is this acceptable for a 1st quality Schott?

    Just wish they matched on both sides. But that's a nitpick.

    Is this acceptable for a 1st quality Schott?

    Hi, For fear that a small amount of unmerited snobbery has taken refuge in my less than sophisticated mind, ever since I started looking at RMC's stuff, I need the thoughts of a congregation who is of higher taste and expertise. Purchased a new HH Perfecto from Schott, some fraying here and...

    Opinions needed on an RMC J-24 fit

    Now I have to overcome my denial, delve into the intricacies of how the newer ones are better suited for my body shape, try to find away of selling this one to get a newer one in my size. Ay caramba! Good seeing you, man!

    Opinions needed on an RMC J-24 fit

    Yeah, it is a little tight in the chest area but for some reason has 3/4 inch or so broader shoulder than is ideal for me. Usually, if a jacket is big or small, it is big or small all over. Must be the cut or my body shape. Thanks.

    Opinions needed on an RMC J-24 fit

    Hi there, Yours truly is about 5'8" 150lbs, 38' ish chest. I grabbed an older J-24 (BJ19003 I believe) in size 40. This is my first D-pocket jacket, and I bought it based on how much I loved the shinki horsehide on my J-100. Is this how it is supposed to fit? The sleeves cover the first...

    Schott 641 sizing

    Good day, Lots of conflating information on how that jacket fits. I am after a 671 from the Japanese market, but a 641 seems to be identical in cut. I am 37" in chest, 150lbs in weight, 31" ish in waist, 5'7" in height. For reference, a Schott 530 and a RM Buco J100 fit well with a shirt...

    Private proxy in Japan

    Hello there, I need a private trustworthy proxy to potentially purchase a Dupont butane lighter from Yahoo JP. Proxy services seem to wuss out as soon as they see the word "lighter", but the lighter can be very easily and slightly disassembled to remove the gas and flintwhich would render it...

    RMC Buco J-100: How do you tell if it's a newer or older version?

    Thanks. Is it safe to assume that if the little puller leather ribbons on the sleeve zippers are black/reddish brown that the jacket would be a tea core leather?

    RMC Buco J-100: How do you tell if it's a newer or older version?

    Colour of pocket lining? Shape of the zipper? Been scouring the Japanese used market for a J-100. I have been driven to believe that the newer versions (BJ19011?) fit a little larger around the chest/shoulder area, which probably is the better option for me since I am an in-between sizes (chest...

    Akubra Overload

    I see The Hattery has restocked heritage fawn FedIVs. Has there been any comment on the quality of the product after they resumed production? I sent The Hattery with the same question.

    Akubra Overload

    Looking dashing, Johnny! I have that colour on a stylemaster, and I love when the blue in it comes out! About that squatter i mentioned here earlier, I ended up getting it. The owner was a nice lady and she had bought it for her father who passed away not too long ago. He apparently really...
