Hello
I just found and bought a Vintage Schott 674G in WW2 Distressed Steerhide Leather Size 52. Looks unworn. No bar code on pocket tag so made before 1993. Either 1989-1992? I don’t see much writtten on this Style.
No wear anywhere. I did use BICKMORE 4 on the Leather. Nice quilted 5.5oz liner.

It might be a bit older than you think. I had a very similar Schott 674 I got around 1984.

There were two different models of the jacket in the store that day. The one I got had a white pile lining and a faux-mouton collar. The other had a plain collar and a quilted lining. Both were available in either black or brown naked cow, and they had the same construction details (the horizontal seam across the shoulder blades, the two-way pockets, Talon zip, three-piece sleeves, snapped epaulettes)... apart from those collar and lining variations. Alas, the only pic I have is one I shot right before I gave away the jacket, and it's small, it was back in the age of 1-megapixel cameras:

In the early 90s, this model evolved into the "four-in-one" jacket Schott still makes, where you can remove the fur collar and warm lining, and which has G-1 style shoulder construction and a halfbelt back.
