Wow, that looks amazing!! The broken grain effect makes this look really cool. Congratulations on a fine jacket.

Anyone seen this schott before?

Looks like a AJ-44, but is oddly labelled a B3

It's cracked lacquer (I think?), so yeah the exposed parts is the actual flesh side of the shearling. At least to my understanding of how B3's are finished.

Both the (new) B3's have these cracks so I assume it's "normal". I haven't owned a lacquer-finished shearling so far, so my knowledge of how to correctly care for these jackets is kinda limited.

All I know is that I've read that slapping Pecard's on them isn't the best idea.

I use Fiebing's Neatsfoot Oil to avoid cracking...
