Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

[Marc mndt]

And I also think that everybody here knows that you can sell quite a few Schotts to go get something great like a Cal or an Aero

Are you saying that Schott jackets aren't great while Cal's and Aero's are?

Let's put it this way: I have a different option about Schott vs Aero

Each jacket by it's own merits

I still can't forgive TFL for fooling me into buying Aero's motorcycle jacket as an upgrade from Schott. Must've been an April's fools day that day. Or a year...

No, there’s no way I support blanket statements on leather jackets. I have three or four Schotts that I love, but I respect that there’s a sense of quality hierarchy that I (personally) believe places Aero, Cal, Thedi, Langlitz and others at a bit of a higher rank, but Schott brought me here and I’ll never say something as naive so broadly. Each jacket on its own merit. Plenty of love for Schott for holding such a huge place in the hearts of so many.

Beautiful. I had a Langlitz with same hide and label— was told by Langlitz a 50s hide. Right at the beginning of this labels long run.

I had one. Looking good is as far as it goes. Not the best leather I've handled, not by a long shot. Flat, greasy. Pants were marginally better but IMO vintage Langlitz isn't worth the fuss. New stuff is much nicer.

Neither Schott nor Aero are anywhere near Thedi, though I'm not sure if that's what you were implying.

The Schotts I've handled were about as good quality-wise as the Aero I owned and the other Aero jackets I've tried, though with different issues.

Even if some makers are overall better than others, there are many subjective factors that can make one particular jacket or brand better for a certain person than another brand.

 

[Bfd70]

^ agree. My for instance would be stitching. I’ll take a little wobbly stitching on a great pattern over laser stitching on a bad pattern.

 

[Claybertrand]

Looks like a Cal SZ but the Zippers don't scream 50s to me.......Scant sizing details. I think its priced too high but it does have offer option

This is a nice Langlitz, but the following really makes me wonder...
Condition:
UsedUsed
“Please send us message before purchase.”

I've never seen this in ebay prior...

Typically, a proxy listing a jacket that is actually for sale in japan.

Has a broken zipper, no measurements provided and still asking $750.

Yup I'm the same way at this point. My experience wasn't great with either maker's patterns unfortunately so I can't win with either.

The jacket is not a Cal. Also, it is more like late 80s.

 

[tmitchell59]

I think so too. The very first label identified which include the word Perfecto are placed on all kind of jackets. View attachment 540421 View attachment 540422 View attachment 540423

amazing jacket, looks like mid late 30s. I've never seen a Schott this age for sale. There are several in the Schott book that are as amazing, but where are they?

Lmao, ebay grifter morons have reached a new low with this one. There is no way that jacket is 50s, going purely off the zippers. Looks like a plastic main zip to me, like my Cal from the late 80s. The older jackets don't have the shoulder gussets like this one, either.

Wants $750 for a half busted jacket and can't even provide measurements beyond "guess it's a 44"? Get outta here with this bs.
