Is #6 what Aero calls cherry?
I think so, there is also a #4. I think cherry would cover the shade range from #4 to #6 and cordovan would cover range from #6 to #8. On the smaller shell butt pieces it is easy to stay in one color but larger full hides there is gonna be some variance.

I have a Schott 613S Double rider jacket. Great jacket, but it’s just too flashy to wear it. Thinking of removing the belt, but keep the epaulets to increase my wear frequency. What do you guy think?

Your best bet imo is to sell it off and put the money towards a different jacket you feel is more versatile. Don't go cutting stuff off, it's probably not going to look great.

If I can add my thoughts - I agree with @Khilij, unless you send the jacket to someone who is going to take it apart and remove the belt the right way it's not going to look right no matter how closely you cut it. You might try calling Dena Hamilton at Leather Care Specialist in Illinois and get her opinion, and maybe a quote.

I would leave the jacket as is. If you consider it too flashy, try to wear another style, or beltless x-zips jackets. Just wondering, what part do you think looks too garish—the belt when it’s undone, or the buckle?

The belt and the buckle. I already installed a button to secure the buckle. But it’s still there along with the belt fold in. I like everything about the steer hide Schott 613S but the complex of the belt

Gentlemen,

I am having a hard time choosing between the N-1 deck jacket from RMC or IH for the upcoming winter here in Minnesota. The prices are very close (RMC: $815 and IH: $790). I like the IH for its internal pocket and have seen some positive reviews on YouTube. However, I prefer the authentic design of the RMC, especially the front pockets.

Your thoughts? Thanks!
