How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

First new jacket in a while for me. Just picked up this white schott perfecto. The tag says it’s a 618, but I haven’t seen this shoulder detailing before. Does anyone have any information?

I thought I was done, then I saw this Scalawag:

Asymmetrical crosszip shacket featuring what looks to be a 40s Waldes Kover-Zip. The rare zipper got me. I've officially reached jacket junky status.

That would be hard to pass.

After a bit of research I only found one other white Perfecto online and it did not have the shoulder patches. Based on the label, the Bull label with Schott NYC was used from early to mid 1980’s.

ah really interesting, thanks! I've seen a few white perfectos online (though not many), and this is the only one I've seen with shoulder patches. Will post more photos once I receive it

Some photos of the white schott perfecto that just arrived. Unfortunately I think I will be moving this on, as it is too wide in the hem for my liking. It’s a shame as if the hem was inches narrower this would be great

Amazing coat! Thus garment is easily 90 years old! Incredible!

What is the length?

It’s about 28 inches from the collar. Here’s a quick picture to show how it wears

The sleeve patches were added afterwards. Beautiful jacket, though.

I considered this, but wouldn't it have been difficultu to get the same shade of white, and to install the stitching going through the lining?

If it was added after, I'm guessing it was professionally done?

It had to have been a project for sure but yeah, it's doable. White leather like this is quite common, there's a lot of usage for it. If the patches are stitched through the lining, then that's a sure sign they were an afterthought. But even if the stitching is hidden under the lining, it just means the alteration was done with more care. You'd get to the inside of the jacket through the sleeve anyway.

The stitching on the patches looks slightly bit less precise than on the rest of the jacket, thought but that doesn't mean much.

I'm guessing it was done to hide a stitch holes from an earlier patch. Makes no sense to have patches there, otherwise.

The jacket fits you outstandingly in my opinion. It accentuates your shoulders by adding bulk while still looking trim, not boxy... I don't know, I really like this jacket on you. Worth altering the hem, if it bothers you.
