Here is a Capeskin just came in from Japan. It really stands out in Brown against that black.
Nice! is it the aniline or the pigment dyed shinki?Soon to receive a Field Leathers brown shinki Route 66 with collar, just waiting on hardware before final build. Greg is really great to work with. Also have a black shinki cross zip order placed after this jacket.

What model is this? Doesnt seem like the standard 613, but Ive been known to be blind before haJust received this baby, i was a bit surprised when i opened the packet cause the jacket is lightweight, i was expecting something thicker, but still it is a nice one
I now own 5 "one star", i think i'm sick
This model is called "Rosie". it's a special limited edition released for Schott's 90th anniversary. They also released the "Michael", in a thicker steerhide. Incredible jackets.Just received this baby, i was a bit surprised when i opened the packet cause the jacket is lightweight, i was expecting something thicker, but still it is a nice one

Almost correct Rosie was made for the 100th anniversary, i'll add a picture of the incredible red liningThis model is called "Rosie". it's a special limited edition released for Schott's 90th anniversary. They also released the "Michael", in a thicker steerhide. Incredible jackets.
Names were chosen in reference to members of the Schotts family.
They were mostly sold in Japan.
Ah ok, Ive actually seen the Rosie before. Not in person online so Im familiar with it now that I know what it is. I would have hoped it was a bit thicker/heavier. Do you also own the 90th?Almost correct Rosie was made for the 100th anniversary, i'll add a picture of the incredible red lining
They all are very nice jackets

Lucky you I wanted my jacket to be made from this hide as well but he told me the the remaining hide had already been spoken for.I believe this one is aniline, it has reddish brown tones from what I can see (mrproper has the same jacket) greg stopped offering this specific brown because of the difficulty matching panels. The pigment dyed shinki he offers now looks more seal brown to me.
Yeah a bit disapointed but it is pretty nice overallAh ok, Ive actually seen the Rosie before. Not in person online so Im familiar with it now that I know what it is. I would have hoped it was a bit thicker/heavier. Do you also own the 90th?
I have always loved that killer red liner though. That is special!Yeah a bit disapointed but it is pretty nice overall
I don't own the 90th or the Michael, i like them both so if i can find them for a decent price i'll probably pull the trigger

Really like the style of this one -- who is the maker/what is the style? Picked up on Yahoo Auctions I'm guessing, or do you have other recommendable places to look out for?
Pretty nice jacketYes, yahoo auction Japan through buyee. A 1940s Stanhouse of Rockford Illinois. Don't know the style. Not seen anything quite like this. This one is a fairly large size 40, just tight in the waist on me. Need to loose a few pounds.
Japan yahoo auctions are interesting. See old jacket there you just don't see here in USA. Many are size 38-40, so good if you are in that size. Prices aren't out of line and neither is the proxy or shipping cost.

Pretty nice jacket
About buyee, are you using often? If yes are you happy with it? No abusive fees?
The other day i was thinking about trying it but feedbacks on trustpilot were pretty bad so i did not
