    Schott Style 618 in Brown Leather.

    Thank you! A hair off.. but i think it's because the epaulets aren't exactly even. But... I'm very happy!

    Schott Style 618 in Brown Leather.

    Hey everyone... so I decided to apply the gold stars to my Brown Perfecto 618...and I think all is well. I pierced the leather by pressing down with my thumb. Used my thumb nail to bend the prongs back... then used a jewelers tool (end of tiny hammer) to further press the prongs down. Done...

    Just got the stars from Schott...very fast delivery. Took only 2 days to receive the complimentary gold stars. On the fence if I should carefully apply them myself or just send to Schott.

    Hey Peter... Jerri is actually out of the office until next week. Another rep "Denise" answered my questions, and said I can probably take it to a shoe repair shop if I don't have Schott do it. Normally, I'd want Schott to do ANY work on that jacket...but 4 weeks?? Maybe I'll wait until Jerri...

    Hey Peter...hope all is well. Know anywhere that can put stars on the 618 I have? Schott will take a little too long... like 4 weeks. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Are you selling your 618 Peter? I saw someone on eBay selling one... from S.I. Thought it might be you!

    My new brown 618 is breaking in great! Getting more range of motion all around, and the jacket "lays" a bit better on my body now... not as rigid as it was. Still a ways to go with the break in... but it's feeling better every time I put it on. I'll send pics soon. ; )

    Now I'm eyeballing the 613! Very nice! Looks great! I'm sure that'll come in handy with the cold weather, for sure! Nice pick up !

    Thanks!... it's nice to hear folks providing good info/input, and compliments here in the Fedora Lounge! I did see the collars online... something I'll consider for the cold weather for sure. If you don't mind, send a pic when your collar arrives! Thanks for the note Madhouse27!

    Sounds like a nice trench! I suppose the Perfecto can keep me somewhat warm, but if I'm outside for an extended period of time, I think I'd be a bit cold. Maybe not. I'll guess I'll have to try! The snap for the buckle is not a "must" for me... I think I just like the idea of the buckle...

    Schott Style 618 in Brown Leather.

    Yes.. I really like the fit. As soon as temps get a little higher, I'll start wearing it out to break it in. It's just too cold right now for this jacket... it's in the 20's....unless I wear a turtleneck under it or something. But, I'll continue to wear it here and there around the house to...

    I just saw a black 141 on eBay. : )

    Schott Style 618 in Brown Leather.

    I'm sure if you keep searching, you'll eventually find your 141 in brown. What size are you looking for?... I'll keep an eye out for one! Jerri has replied to all of my questions in a very timely manner. I almost felt like I was bothering her too much... but she was always polite and...

    Schott Style 618 in Brown Leather.

    Yes, I think the size 50 is the better fit for me...even though I do like to wear some of my clothes a little loose. The 52 just didn't look "right" to me, being that the shoulders, back, and waist were just too roomy. The size 50 just has a bit more of a tailored look and feel. I'm very...

    Schott Style 618 in Brown Leather.

    Thanks for the tips. I'm wearing it around the house now. Since it's too cold to wear now here in NJ, I figured some wear n tear in the house won't hurt! Again, very pleased with the decision made. Only flaw... wish it had a better inside pocket like my 530 Cafe Racers. But, I'm happy as a...
