I decided to post some outdoor under the sun pictures of my jacket to give an idea to those who never saw up close and personal aged schott HH. If it helps peoples in their quest for their perfect jacket I'll be happy. Here are some pics:

A great looking jacket, looks to have aged naturally :)
Curious about the photgraphy though. Were all photo's taken in the same time span as in some the leather looks blue and others it appears black, I also notice that the 'blue' appearance is when the sun is not as bright and the grass a more subdued shade of green.
Cheers, John.

I have noticed that when given some time and wear, Schott HH looks exactly like vintage HH jackets. Much more so than most other jackets we talk about here. That CR above is aging exactly like TMitchell's police jacket. Here's another example of Schott HH that looks just right. This jacket isn't even a year old.

How come you don't like 'em?

Come on Mon, surely we've heard it before: the sizing, the patterns, the lack of affordable custom sizing, the inadequate leather, the prices the marketing and the workmanship have all been regularly put down. Along with - "some of the jackets are ok but for not much more you get a far better Aero/whatever."

I don't always agree with that narrative and you have defended Schott well, but that's often how people see it.

Yeah... You're right. And I have, haven't I? And the Schott Gods have smiled upon me, granting me that CR. XD

Few shots of Schott HH. Well yeah my jacket hasn't been made from the regular Schott horse and I took these 'cause I wanted to do some photo comparison with a certain other hide, but I figured I'd share as it really is a nice looking leather.
