This is an awesome coat.

2004. If the contract number wasn’t visible, the URL on the DSCP tag would be a good indicator of era.
Wear in good health!

Thank you...

A little early evening ride...Aero Midnight Blue Chips

More Schott 118J fit shots. This is a size 44, but the dimensions are close to the 42 613H I have. It’s slightly roomier feeling, particularly the waist area, but pretty close overall and I still think it fits me well. It also probably feels bigger since it’s vintage (probably 80s) and the leather and lining is more worn in vs my relatively not broken in 613H. In any case, I don’t think I could find a Perfecto in brown with better wear and character than this jacket. It’s a keeper for sure.

From Deals thread since I already went thru all the trouble. Holding the beast was already a struggle enough!

Absolutely brilliant and no, you couldn't. These brown core Schott jackets are rare but getting the right one, like yours, I don't see how'd you be able to top that. It fits you exactly like my 613H, you're right about it being a similar (same) cut.

In honor of the great plaid wool jackets recently posted by @Marc mndt , @ton312 , and @tmitchell59 -- among others -- I wore my Freewheelers Brodovitch today.

A "cool day" Super ? To be 33C here today and 39C tomorrow and 37 Wednesday. Those will be "no jacket" days as I will be unlikely to be riding my Harley !

I wore this Vanson Sturgis yesterday for a faster than usual out of town Harley ride North up the coast.

Same blue sky as Super's photo above , but I suspect warmer for us ?

I was with a different bunch of riders for the most part. I was the "oldie" haha...

You can clearly see the vent system in the arms (and back unseen). Yesterday was a "cooler" 27C.

We went 160 K's north (100 miles) and this jacket was perfect for that. No "action shot" sorry while up there.

Asking my girlfriend for a quick jacket photo is a major production, more major than making a jacket! My face tells the story... it quickly became a session of her venting about how messy the house is, how I don’t smile, how she may end up being in the reflection...

Very cold again today, so I decided to channel my inner Redford!

This was the first jacket that inspired my love of military jackets

I did a little research a few years ago, and I believe it was from the eighties (please correct me if I am wrong!)

Rather fond of peacoats. Have a US navy 1970ish peacoat once owned by my deceased brother-in-law which pretty much looks like that.

Brooks again. Wearing this puts a smile on my face. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a leather jacket but had no idea this one had it until I opened the box and put it on. It’s like when you have a “type” of girl that you (think you) like and you meet someone totally different and that turns out to be the love of your life.

I hear you! I never really gave the CR design much thought. Then, I think it was @Superfluous and his original Buco that made me think “why not?” Now I have 2 vintage Kehoe jackets- 1 for the back, and 1 for the front

Great jacket there @regius!

The long one is a NOS MidWestern deer, with dramatic 60-70s western curves and a set of unique buttons that are screwed on rather than sewn, very cool.

I found exact same pants with double front panel only in leather.

Awesome, i always like double knee just not too easy to get one here in my country in the fit I like, usually too baggy on the leg full on carpenter pants , i want to buy heavy sanforized black jeans so no leg twisting, wash it to get rid of any shrinkage, and add painted black veg tan cowhide as double knee panel. That is probably the closest i can wear to a full on leather pants in my climate so it is stil more breathable

Well, that said, dig the coat you have going on there

 

[navetsea]

Cow hide, surprisingly 7yrs old, around the time I joined here. Sleeve looks the part, body panel still not enough evolution not enough creases.

@nick123 the whole “look” is really starting to come together!
