I posted these picks for Psant. He requested them in the Speed Demon thread. I didn't wanna post Schott pics in a Lost World's thread. lol.

Don't base your opinion of Schott HH on my pics. I am not a good pic taker. The leather is much better in person. The leather is also very easy to wear.

Opinions should be based on the photos you took because the jacket looks brilliant. I had a 618HH, stupidly sold it even though it was coming along nicely and just started losing that vinyl shine these jackets initially have - a decision I still regret to this day but luckily, one that can still be fixed. Schott Horsehide is in my permanent eBay search.

In any case, you should post these pics to the LW thread! Objectivley a better jacket. Bit lighter but equally comfortable, if not more so, arguably better looking and doesn't destroy itself. AND it's not a copy of anything.

Mild temps in Chicago lately. Plenty of wear on the IH 23oz OD. Interesting denim. Seems to give in to creasing and fades much quicker than the indigo 21oz selvedge. Won’t be long before temps force me to hang it up but thus far I’m really impressed with this jacket. FWIW it outweighs many leather jackets I’ve owned. No small feat for a textile piece.

Amazing how good that looks in a relatively short time. About a year old IIRC? IH really does denim the right way.

Actually this jacket is only about a month old...worn daily for the most part, with one short soak.

Do you soak with warm or cold water? Wear as it dries? Thinking of soaking my IH 1st zip.

Perfect fit!

Thank you! I never thought I’d squeeze into a 40, but I love the way it fits! I find more freedom of movement in this than some of my much larger leather jackets. Aero really hit this one outta the park. And this midnight blue color.....forget about it.

Great coat/fit and pic Gamma.
I hear you. Anything Windward and i’m all in. They just did leather right!!

Ps: is that 50’s??

Thanks for your nice comments. Based on the zipper, I think it's 1950s. The style is one that I believe carried over from the 1940s, so maybe the jacket itself is early 1950s?
