How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

[MojoStick]

Price was right on these, couldn’t help myself.

1st. One no clue on maker, older Talon zips.
2nd. Brooks.
3rd. Perfecto style with Talon zips, maybe a Beck.

Wow ! That fabric looks so tactile and luxorious.

I’ve looked on and off again for one of these for a few year. One popped up that looks to be in good condition and reasonably priced so I jumped. I suppose this is my sign to finally move the fringed Kehoe along…

You can more yours honorably. Me not so much.

Will last you a lifetime.

Now the trick is to just own ONE and wear it.

For this style (and availability everywhere) $1150 is way too much. For under $100 I’m just as happy with my Gap version.

Took the words out of my mouth. I feel the sane way about these trucker jackets. Clearly the same amount of work goes into making these as other jackets but i couldn’t tell anyone a reason but I just can’t see a reason to pay crazy amounts for these like the Japanese brands.
I do like the style it’s growing on me so I might give it a shot with 5 Star and if I end up wearing it more Aero makes a nice one in my eyes.

1960's Schott I believe.

1960's Schott I believe.

I think it's a Beck, not sure what the actual connection between these two brands was though. Check out this old deadstock Beck. It matches the jacket to a T. Tag label at the neck, stars on epaulets, and belt placement (but this other jacket has had the stars, belt, and tag removed).

Dimensions of the tag would indicate Beck in this case so you're probably right but in any case, it was Schott that produced jackets for Beck at some point, hence the resemblance. Snap on belt-loops with a removable belt vs fixed half-belt was the only major difference between the two.
Without the belt-loops, the jacket MojoStick posted looks virtually identical to the 1960's Schott Perfecto.

Beck 999 has side laces and there seems to be laces showing under the waist band next to the sleeve in the photo of the jacket with the missing label.

I’m thinking it is a Beck. Identical, except for all missing parts.
It was a killer deal! $50! Leather has great patina and is soft and pliable.

It does have an elastic loop on the collar just like the Becks.
Schott is usually is leather.

Better “Beck” pictures. It arrived the other day.

Nice score. May I know the measurements of this size 38? The 666s from the same era are usually undersized. Most size 38 has a barely 38 inches pit to pit on the outside.
