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?
That would be hard to pass.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.

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.First new jacket in a while for me. Just picked up this white schott perfecto.

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.

It’s about 28 inches from the collar. Here’s a quick picture to show how it wearsAmazing coat! Thus garment is easily 90 years old! Incredible!
What is the length?
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 View attachment 640721 View attachment 640722 View attachment 640723 View attachment 640724 View attachment 640725
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?The sleeve patches were added afterwards. Beautiful jacket, though.

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