Proud Dad moment, a Schott 530 I recently acquired from a TFL member that I bought for my son. It fits and he likes it, a perfect combination.

My fav. Not my best in any particular category, but just checks off a lot of boxes.

Back from lunch with the one off GW Byrd Shinki. Temperature rising this week here. Bummer....
I just can't get enough of this jacket. Really digging the rare red thread on this one.
Someone else had mentioned that a jacket with all the bells and whistles just makes you feel great when wearing it.

Congrats. You scored some major Dad points!
You did better on the boat than me yesterday, leather-wise. I wore Grundens of Sweden; no way I would wear leather on a fishing trip. I can already think of a new thread - how to remove fish stink from a leather jacket, lol.
Oh, I’m definitely with you on that. Would never wear leather on a fishing trip. This was just a public transport boat trip across the river. I’ve seen Himel wear his own jackets for fishing, but it seems kinda crazy to me.

I’m lost in the hills. I hear gunshots nearby. I’m out there. Aero treating me right.

I was contemplating putting this one up for sale, but after thinking about it I realized the fit doesn’t bother me. It was the squeak. So I gave it a treatment with pecard’s and let it dry in the sun; low and behold, squeak eliminated and I’m back to enjoying the unlined goodness on these days with oddball, in between weather.

That is just brilliant. Amazing leather and jacket and such a good fit.
Reminds me that we need to see some @Carlos840 evolution photos.

Amazing A2. Thats the kind from band of brothers, right? The old real Mccoy?
Here's my feeble attempt at an A2
Not a fan of the style but that one looks good, who made it?

It's the Schott x 3-Sixteen collab. Some of the nicest leather ever. I'm guessing Lux, they say Horween CXL, but this is pretty tame and soft and thin top coat. Really nice details on the hardware, liner, etc. but definitely not an A2 military spec type jacket. Just a few wears and I have a lot of brown peeking through. Like all Schotts I sit right in between medium and large. Went medium here and it's a tad small for this style I think. The large would have been a tent. Going to wear through next season and see how it goes, but after seeing that NZ Real McCoy, now that's an A2. Incredible fit. Still need to scratch that itch one day. If I ever see a Canyon Red A2 from Japanese Real McCoy, you might have to strap me down like Ulysses

Hang in there!
The way things are done over there is a bit nuts. A friend's GF got stuck in Xi'an during their lock down a while back. It was testing almost every other damn day, and "positives" gets bus off to quarantine, literally. And even grocery shopping wasn't allowed. The intend was to save lives, but at what cost? Mental health matters too. It must be hard to experience this in Shanghai now. It will be over soon. Hang in there.
