What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Observe]

Recently acquired a Schott 584SM off eBay for dirt cheap. Unfortunately, it was advertised as a 184SM, which it isn't, and as black; it's an extremely dark brown but not black. It fits well enough and was cheap enough that I don't really care.

My jacket collection ebbs and flows but I always come back to the Schott 118. just comfortable and easy to wear. I sold my other cross zips and this one remains.

Love those 118’s.

Between the 118 and the 141 which do you prefer? Two completely different animals, I know, but just for the sake of curiosity.

Beach day in Double Helix horsehide. Bare legs and bare feet, I hope I don't break the outerwear forum.

I had a beautiful 141 but I sold it as I lost a bunch of weight. I will be replacing but I like them both for different reasons.

Nah. @Jonesy did it all the time.

Made a lil jacket wall. It looks better in person imo.

Too warm but took the dog for his morning biz in this Schott rancher. Soaked, brushed and I pulled the liner out. Something I’d never normally do but it was beyond repair. Of the the two of these I currently have and the 5 or so I’ve owned, this is by far the shortest. True matador fit but man I just love these. I think they are the best suede type 3 you can get and they almost always sell relatively cheap. I need a neon pink sign to hang above my closet…”Asperger’s Syndrome”

Wow! Here’s to NOT skipping leg-day…

Very nice jacket!

Who would have thought that this BBoy would get that much wear time!

Glad I didn’t size up too. This is just short and tapered by design, but actually fits me quite roomy.

Vanson last night, LW today.

The same thing happened to me except mine is a 184sm (is one preferable to the other?)

Mine has both the removable collar and liner (both in great shape) and was advertised as black for a very inexpensive eBay BIN. I wasn’t gonna get it because of the color but I finally talked myself into it due to the extraordinary price and condition. Then, I got so excited about black that when it arrived and turned out to be dark brown, I was kind of disappointed (though not anymore).

This will be a working jacket for me (I’m a trucker). I believe it to be from the early 90s and the leather is really quite nice on it.

Forgive me, I’m still in my pajamas. I’m not taking this thing outside for a real photo - I’ll melt.

I'm not sure which is better, probably the 184? Seems like better leather from the pictures.

This jacket! If anyone has any info on what it might be I would appreciate it. Pretty sure it’s American and got some years..

 

[cbez]

Think it came out pretty cool. Last one I swear

Nice jacket, fits you well!

It’s definitely American and definitely from the 50’s (late 50’s IMO). Don’t know who the maker is and I don’t think I’ve seen this exact jacket before.

The back design is fairly common. Guidemaster/Edgo, Spiegel/Aldencrest, Golden Bear and at least one or two others have that same back design.

The front is pretty generic so I don’t think that’ll give anything away.

The top constructed sleeve zips with the double stitch is pretty unique and can be telling. A few makers did the sleeve zips like that, Star Sportswear being one of them but they weren’t the maker of your jacket.

Rough Wear uses a leather label that is almost identical to the one on your jacket but it’s white and usually attached folded in half.

Here’s one with the RW “Rough In” label.

And here are a couple of examples of this label on Sears branded jackets.

Here’s an example of a RW made jacket with this label on a non Sears jacket.

I’ve seen the exact black version of the label that’s on your jacket on a few other brands.

Here’s one with a Robert Hall label which was a store and not a manufacturer. I’ve seen Robert Hall labeled jackets with other leather labels too.

And here’s one with the Guidemaster label by Wolf which was a manufacturer.

Maybe your jacket was made by Wolf. Other possibility is that the leather label on your jacket is generic and used by a few different makers including RW.

thank you for taking the time to try to help me identify the jacket. It has it's flaws but the leather is good and for $30 I'm happy with it.

$30 = steal of the year.

Whaddya guys think? A Walter Dyer vest, courtesy of @blm14 find, $30. Should work in South Florida to mix things up a bit, a night out, whatever. The fit is good.

 

[Bennarion]

Will Zach, cool. The vest fits perfectly​

 

[blm14]
