What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

That looks really sharp! I really didn't want to think about another jacket since I have 2 on order currently but this is just too cool...
Seems most these 90’s era Schott’s ended up in SE Asia or Japan. I have no idea why. This one came from Malaysia. For those worried about length this 90’s model is longer and has handwarmers. For comparisons sake:

Somewhat hard to tell but the black is a solid 1” longer in the body, and it has a weak collar. I prefer the older, shorter ones but they just did not make them in black. And while I’m at it I actually wore my rust Jo-o-Kay today. Probably last time for the week as it’s set to warm up. And there’s all 3 of my suede type 3 in one post.

I want two more. LOL.

It fits perfectly!

Thank you. There definitely are some short comings, but it has molded to me nicely.

This is the old pattern and much of what was “wrong” with it like what people referred to as the pointy shoulders (which never really bothered me in mine and on other people’s jackets) and the massive amount of room he put in the mid section and waist are much better now.

After a series of rare vintage bangers, an absolute stunner of a newer piece. A guy could go through a lot of jackets looking for that fit...

Thanks man. Yeah it’s mostly my new/repro jackets that get consistent and significant wear.

Wow! Super nice Type-3 - I like it almost as much as my 2 Aero Type-3's. However the fit of yours is perfection and the western vibe of the back yoke almost matches the stitching on the back pockets of your jeans! As always a look that has substance. I checked the website for this jacket and the price is only $517.00??!! It looks twice the price. I assume this was a custom order and not 'off the rack'.

Rmc buco j100. This is not teacore but somehow fading into brown and kinda olive color. Size 38, I’m about 5”10 and 145-150 lbs. sharing my sizing with this one
Very nice, if I'm not mistaken it is the d.black model of rmc buco j100 (black core), I have been looking for this model for a long time, but I can't find my size, old 42 or current 40 of this rmc and from what they have communicated to me from The official website no longer manufactures it for now, how is the fading you are talking about? I haven't been able to see much about the aging of d.black on the web, and where have you found it? If it is not too much to ask.
Greetings and congratulations on your beautiful jacket!

Online at menswear market. I got it like this already. I don’t have a nice camera to really capture it. No scratches or anything, just color fading. At 1st I thought all of this kind of jacket are teacore till I notice the small piece of leather where the zippers are just gray and not brown from the pictures online that I can see. I removed it and only left the one in the middle cause my brother told me i look like ultimate warrior from the 90s wrestling.

En línea en el mercado de ropa masculina. Ya lo tengo así. No tengo una buena cámara para capturarlo realmente. Sin rayos ni nada, solo pérdida de color. Al principio pensé que todo este tipo de chaquetas eran teacore hasta que noté el pequeño trozo de cuero donde las cremalleras son simplemente grises y no marrones según las imágenes en línea que puedo ver. Lo quité y solo dejé el del medio porque mi hermano me dijo que parezco el guerrero definitivo de la lucha libre de los 90.

Exactly, the color of the leather straps on the zippers distinguish at a glance whether it is one model or another, in the case of teacore they are always brown. Personally I like how the ribbons look on the zippers! Thanks for the pictures.

Me too, my other bro said that it looked awesome. I will put it back once I got over the ultimate warrior thing lol
