Where are the fit pics? This looks brilliant. We need them now!
Some crappy ones in the WJAYWT.

Ooh! I'm very interested in your findings on this. That's the exact Hercules I've got my eye on for when the >counts up< five jackets I've currently got listed on eBay free up some funds.View attachment 196456 Hercules Leather Co jacket that I ordered while back is done and on its way:
I believe that’s a Schott 125 no? They are nice but the squared rear lower panel always looked odd to me.Apologies if @Bennarion (because of course) has already posted this on the Finds And Deals thread and I've missed it, but I've been eyeing this Schott for a bit now.
It appears to be a CHP style cross zip, with side laces instead of a belt - but it's brown. I like that, but had no idea it was a thing.
Thoughts?
Good lord. I do believe you are done.Speaking of mindless piling up of jackets, just unboxed this.
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts! Looks fantastic!View attachment 196456 Hercules Leather Co jacket that I ordered while back is done and on its way:

I think it's not a CHP but more a brown classic Perfecto.
It appears in brown it's called a 115:

Mine had a model number 125 as well but yeah, it's just a belt-less Schott Perfecto with side laces. The idea behind these was so that you could use the belt you wanted - or none at all. I've actually seen more brown 125's than black.
The Jean Shop NYC cafe racer finally arrived.
Wait, Jean... What?
Indeed.
Nice! Justin Theroux has one in black, looks rad. If you're not a fan and its a 22" P2P (ish) gimme a shout.
Theroux is how I found out about the brand. Actually truly fantastic jacket. Heavy-ish, beautiful leather, crazy warm. It fits me everywhere just perfectly except that the gut is 10" too roomy. I think it'd be the same for anyone. Were these custom made or something? I'm still trying to decide whether to have it tailored or sell it. I doubt I'll see one soon, though...
The dude rocks a CR.
I didn't think they were, but that's a pretty wack measurement. Theroux's one will be custom or at least very expensively tailored.
I think if you were to get something done to a leather jacket, that's one of the 'easier' fixes. Might be worth enquiring about if you like everything else about it.

But the numbers measure up and the price was right.
Scratching a little crosszip itch this Friday morn.
