How warm is the lining, @think_zot ? Is it just for the show or actually substantial? Backed with something? Would you say it's wearable in the winter?

It’s not like Aeros Alpaca wool but it’s somewhat substantial. I think it’s wearable in winter - mind you I’m from sunny California and my views might be biased.

Few more closeups of the 628. Get it before it’s gone ;)

@tz, I don't know how else to call you? Do you have any history on the 628us like what years it was produced, how many were made, if any were they made available to the US or the European market and if so the retail price? I recently discovered Schott's forum many interesting blogs, yet the main person Gail? has passed. So I thought I would start with you and here on TFL, Schott tp follow.
As I stated in the incoming jacket tread, nice steer hide and well made.

Hey John - information is a little hard to come by on this one. I do believe it was made for the Japanese market only, as was the burgundy schott I had on here, so generally the numbers are going to be smaller and much harder to come across with the states. It’s not exactly easy to deal with international duties, high shipping, and difficult translations you might find purchasing internationally, but for finds like this jacket, I’d say it’s worth it. You got a keeper !

Hey, if i'm not mistaken it is a 100th year anniversary production for the Japan market made of horween steerhide
What does the pocket ticket say ? Is the 5th digit a 3 ? If yes then it is indeed a 100th anniversary jacket
I ordered the same in size 40, hopefully when my diet is done it will fit :D

100th anniversary makes sense the 628us is based on Schott first jackets design a single D-pocket arrangement
the white tag has style 7447 TEL 03-5352 0740 and Japanese characters
black tag in english style 628us, CA#56111, RN#18606
I think the highlight of this jacket is the leather

Yeah it definitely make sense making a replica of the BECK 333 for the 100th birthday
So no inside pocket ticket ?

I've seen your post on the Schott forum but don't expect an answer, since Gail passed no one from Schott is answering anymore
You can try to contact Jerri maybe she can help : jerri@schottnyc.com

After a little research of the Schott forum, I believe it was the 75th anniversary the first 628 jackets coming out in 1928
No inside pocket ticket they were in the coin pocket on the 628s
