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.

No clue but I noticed it, too. I think it looks nice as a detail on an otherwise minimalist jacket.

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....

Looks like a copy of Ross Langlitz's cascade?

Good starting price on this shirt. They're usually over a $1K.

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.

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.

anyone looking for new Schott jackets, this seller is closing down his Chicago store and offering what looks like 25% discount or so a few different models. Saw 141, 118, 125?

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.

Too bad about this: The main zipper needs to be replaced

Not far from myself or Dena, won't be finding an original Talon to replace it with however. It's a wear item, and 40+ years takes it toll...

Cool Shields. Not a style I have seen from them before. S.

Way too small for me. 20” p2p. If not, it would be mine.

Is this Bates CR cool or what?

..or what.

So this is NOT a Jacket - it's a Pair of John Lofgren Chukka Boots - size 8.5 - likely to go up a lot but only $95 so far....
