My first Schott incoming….a little salty, but I bet she’ll clean up nicely.
Man, I waffled on this but ultimately decided to pass. I'm not the collector connoisseur that you are Terry, but knowing your praise for Seattle Woolen I was tempted. Definitely wearable, but a bit too much character for me to wear on a regular basis.
It is a collectors piece, no real utility value. This one is most likely from the late 30s with this label. It appears to have some issues with the side sewing, but the overall condition looks good.Man, I waffled on this but ultimately decided to pass.

Looking forward to you getting your hands on it for additional photos and your analysis.
Nice! The “ribbon labels” are the best of the Perfectos.My first Schott incoming….a little salty, but I bet she’ll clean up nicely.

Copy Cat! I had a couple like this. Note they usually have a set of mismatched zipper. This looks like a crown main. This is their standard Police jacket, probably late 40s. One of this style I owned was one of the heaviest vintage jackets I've owned.
@jeo thanks so much for this. I've never really been drawn to perfectos really, but this one really called my name. It's funny, I looked for a good video about early Perfectos details, and couldn't find anything.Nice! The “ribbon labels” are the best of the Perfectos.
I have both this one and the later early 60’s model with the pointed epaulette. My earlier one is a 38 so it’s a tad big. My later one is a 36 and the best fitting MC jacket I’ve ever had.
This late 50’s “ribbon label” model with the double stitched rounded epaulettes and the French seams in the back has the best Perfecto cut of all time IMO.
It has a more generous front, a slightly bigger front drop and shoulders that are rotated forward very much like the cut of the Durable, which is the best MC jacket design of all time IMO both in terms of looks and in terms of functionality.

That V is 1943 or so. Nice find. I have not seen one like this since I sold mine.Indeed - I’ve been looking for one ever since you had the second one up for sale.
As far as I can tell, the main zipper is the original Crown, and the two outer pockets plus inside pocket are the V-Talon type. Will confirm when it shows up.
You're not happy with the extra body length? Your new jacket looks great to me.Most guys can’t measure 6” let alone one. I’m no exception. Jumped on this Schott Rancher b/c it was a whopping 1” longer:

Vs it’s hyper short predecessor:

Bottom line is that an inch means about as much to a jacket as it does your girl….
Jack shit.
No more sweating the “small” stuff.
I think they look exactly the same honestly. The 1” really didn’t make a lick of difference which I just found humorous.You're not happy with the extra body length? Your new jacket looks great to me.
I love the style but I do think it's a women's jacket, judging by the chin strap which is positioned on the right hand side. I'm not sure it will affect the fit though, I don't see any chest darts so it might as well be unisex.Posted and sold. I’ll take it. Dunno if it’ll fit

And this one came in recently but it needs work. The lining is thrashed and the zippers need replacing. Still, it’s the cal of my dreams:

My Helikon-Tex M65 Black Nyco just arrived, insane jacket!I've got a Helikon M65 coming.
Every time we get hit by another weather system with a person's name I wish I had a jacket hard enough to hit back. Now I will.
Lord knows whether it'll fit. I'm expecting to have to exchange it for a smaller size.
