Yeah, I’ve looking for one for some time now. I think Schott made one once upon a time.Satin Twill MC jackets are cool. Love my Oakbrook.

Thanks. The only two I’ve ever seen was the Schott version and this RRL. I’m not even sure the Schott version was sold in the USA.Hercules, Beck, Schott, Oakbrook, some others out there. I’m always looking too. Found a Herc D pocket (one of the early versions; can’t recall now) but it had some significant repairs and was small for me. Obviously the Oakbrook that I snatched. I’ve come close to buying some RL CRs on eBay but sizing. Cool jackets.

Ha! From the vintage leather jacket forum?
The leather jacket world is a small one no doubt.

I just realized Straight to Hell makes a really nice twill asymmetrical zip jacket too. (Bottom) at $155.00… it looks nicer than the RRL.

Big shmig. Looks incredible.40s Windward by Roughwear in horsehide. A favorite design and fit. I have 2 and even advertised this one for sale. It is a 46, a bit big on me. Glad no one was interested! I recall a fellow here recently purchased one.

Thank you!Wow, dude! That fits you perfectly. All hail Cal!
@jeo I meant to add that I spoke to John Chapman about these Beck-Schott Perfectos a couple of weeks ago (because he has one for sale) and he said he was really impressed by the way the jackets are constructed. I found it interesting that he thought it was ambiguous whether the jackets were horse or steer; I had assumed they were all steer by that point.
Yes that it interesting. To me there’s zero ambiguity. All the catalog pages I’ve seen from the late 50’s do not specify leather type. To me that’s a clear indication of steer. They also just look and feel like steer. I have a jacket on order with him, I’ll talk to him about it.
I remember this one, another that I hesitated too long on. Good catch, haven't see another since.View attachment 583670 View attachment 583671 View attachment 583672 Oakbrook Satin Twill for some errands with mini-me.
I’m in a business where I have to watch what I say… I get it lolTo clarify, he wrote he thinks it's most likely cowhide but can't say for sure since there isn't a specific label to indicate either. Makes sense that he'd be cautious in declaring one way given how in A-2 world people were refusing to believe that there were cowhide A-2s until Gary Eastman ran DNA tests.
