    Opinions regarding Schott Vintaged Perfecto Jacket 618V1?

    Hi. This one is on the Schott site and goes for $900. What are your opinions regarding this jacket? It's tempting to me because I can get an old looking, but new leather motorcycle jacket that's broken in right out of the box. What do you think of it?

    Hi, since I am not a motorcycle rider I am looking for a more lightweight and comfortable version of the Cafe Racer motorcycle jacket. I love the British heritage of this jacket and the culture of these early '60's rockers who would strip down their bikes and race from cafe to cafe on the...

    What is your opinion about the quality of Schott horsehide jackets?

    Hi, I recently fell in love with the Schott 689, a beautiful, HH shirt collar leather jacket. However, in my research I have stumbled upon some controversy regarding the lining in Schott's HH jackets. Some feel the felt lining fused to the inside back of these jackets is used to make the...

    Your thoughts on a nice, black A2?

    Hi. Color is very important to me. I feel color should be to everybody. Regarding clothing, everyone has a family of colors that flatters them. In the same way there are colors that don't look good on all of us. I would like to tackle the subject of the "difficult brown." For many of us...

    Which is the best A2 manufacturer you can order from and get a jacket right away?

    Hi. In your opinion, which is the best company you can buy from and receive a great A2 right away, within a week or so? I just don't have the patience to order a jacket and wait six months for it to arrive.
