Help! trying to date a Schott Perfecto

[Gypsymoth82]

Found this old Schott, trying to determine the age from the seller's pics. I'm thinking mid 70s, but I'm not super familiar with Schott. The belt loops are throwing me off because of the snap.

Any help is appreciated!

It could be a Beck 999, but it's got the Schott name on the hanger, so I don't know....

Looks a lot like the 60s Beck 999

Thanks @Marc mndt. I think you're right. Have you ever handled one? Are they worth the effort?

I've handled a Beck café racer of the era which was nicely made but the quality of the leather was rather poor. They're not all like that though, some were made from higher quality leather. Yours looks nice. Although those spots might indicate mildew. Might as well be dirt, impossible to tell from these pics.

It's the Schott-branded equivalent of the jacket they made for Beck as the 999.

Probably 60s.

I'd think it's a bit newer than this, because yours has a Schott Bros label and they switched to using the family name on labels later in the 60s. Same model, though.

Mine is Beck branded.

Seller is sending pictures and responses in drips and drabs, but the leather actually looks pretty nice.....maybe I get to buy a jacket today

The jacket does look nice. I saw this listing right a couple weeks back, but the seller didn't want to ship. Great deal if you can pick up locally, just be prepared to put in some TLC to clean up the mildew / mold. Hope it works out for you!

How much is the seller asking?

 

[Gypsymoth82]

$100.

 

[Gypsymoth82]

We'll see I guess. I'm not panicking about it, if it happens it happens.

 

[Aloysius]

$100.

Good price. Much better condition will run 4-700.

 

[Gypsymoth82]

I'm hoping that it fits first of all, but either way it will be super fun to clean up. I gotta be honest, I almost prefer to find jackets in this state. Cleaning them up is half the fun for me.

Turns out It's a 36. 2 sizes too small at least. Tooo bad.
