The XX definitely looks cooler than the "regular" 641
True - I prefer this Schott to any version of the J100.Noooo!!! You won't find a nicer looking CR! It's what Buco J-100 wants to be!
Ivan,
Did u end up getting the 641xx??
Try it from an Australian perspective - if you want any kind of jacket you HAVE to source it from overseas.
Yeah, Damo, that irks me most. They probably have thousands of these lying around in NJ, and all the other models they produce for the Nipponese market, ditto for Vanson, Langlitz, etc. and they won't sell it locally. I've asked around, apparently Schott will literally refuse to sell you a 641XX from the factory. Crazy... Especially 'cause that was their main CR line in the 60's, it's not like they've invented something exclusive for the overseas.
I wanted the HH version because I MUCH prefer Schott HH over their steer, and the price difference was worth it. I wonder if they'll ever release it again?
Going to Tokyo again end of next month. Want me to find out if they still have the 641xx HH?No, sadly... Never. Seb Lucas ruined it for me by posting the link to the HH version, after which I decided to save up a million dollar more for it and by the time I was more or less ready to buy it, the HH got sold out. I haven't given up on it, though - still at #1 on my priority list.
But now it's this one I'm saving for. XD
Why do you ask?

Not me but I did just sell my 641xx. I only own two leather jackets now. Now that leather jackets are so expensive the fun has left this hobby for me. I can afford the best but I can't justify the price. I have taken to Harris Tweed and work wear.

Going to start wearing tweed?
I wear both, don't know which I love more.
