was that the one you had or someone had in classified other day with the mutton collar? Was real nice. I almost thought about it, but I'm up to 4 cross zips. I am selling the Just Leathes San Jose I just got because it's a size too big for me. It's gorgeous, but i don't want to risk wash and dry to shrink some because it has a perfect zip in fuzzy liner that I don't want to mess with the fit. Hopefully someone here can grab it and enjoy in all its glory.

Had I known it wasn't going to fit, I may have bit. But I'm going to watch the other posted here. It's a little small for me I think, but curious to see what it goes for.
Yes, that was the Lesco I sold on ebay fur collar and zip-out lining heavy steer hide robust silver hardware.

I’m so sick and tired of seeing these guys in those sizes! You know I’ve wanted one for ages now. I did tell Schott when getting my stars they need to make this under the perfecto label for themselves with either the 613SH in house hide. It’s their thickest in house horse. Not like Vanson or LW by any means but it’s actually pretty nice. Or as a Collab with Horween. Their stuff sells out no matter what. That would be one that would actually deserve the sell out.

I knew that post would smoke you out. If I see one in a smaller size I will PM the link.

PSA about "new" Schott listings you might see these next couple weeks. I think they had their annual blow out sale recently. Lots of people go and buy stuff and then relist on Ebay trying to pass off as new.

I'm pretty sure Schott puts a hole in the main tag or the pocket tag to indicate it's a factory second or whatever, some issue, etc. I'm sure in some cases, perfectly wearable, just make sure you know what you're buying.

Separately, they announced their 15% off black friday today. Usual sale. Not as good as their 25% covid sale. There's a few reputable dealers on Ebay you can usually get 20-25% on the more popular models if you dig around, send PMs, etc.

Thus far, Schott has always been marking factory seconds with red. They would color the tag red or draw cross the label in red or something like that. It was always pretty obvious but the problem is, most people don't really know what it means and believe it's just something a previous owner has done to the jacket.

In any case, good post, @TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead !
