This is it! Gotta be the most simple, cleanest MC jacket I've seen. And the coolest one! Someone had a really good idea.

Cool jacket. What’s the snap button in the middle of the back for? That’s a weird place for it.

I assume it's just a snap to attach a fur collar if the wearer would like to. Although I would agree it looks a bit out of place with nothing there, sort of like only having a single belt loop in the back of a jacket with no belt. Most brands put the snap beneath the collar, so it doesn't stand out.

I actually asked the dude for measurements yesterday - I'll post them here if he ever replies!

EDIT:

He just got back to me - here's what he said:

Sleeve length is about 24", from shoulder seam to cuff when laid flat. From collar seam to hem it comes to about 24" in the back

hope this helps someone. Unfortunately I'm out of the running; it's too short in the torso and arms for me personally....

I remember that one...it was a beauty !! I never thought you would let it go !!

It is. Best damn thing Schott made. It was seriously LW grade piece, only sleeker.
Needed money, as always. This is a crap hobby if you're poor. Never truly believing I can keep one single jacket. Feels like I'm renting all I got.

My first high end cafe racer. Leather on these is incredibly thick. Fantastic jacket in every way. I've moved away from a CR style, which is the only reason I ever sold it.

very nice. Saw XL and thought, ah thank God, I'm spared. But the measurements are more like a big medium/small large. here goes another left shoulder/right shoulder discussion I need to have with myself for the next 20 minutes. That patch though might save my wallet in the end.
