John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather.
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks.
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style. 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.For this style (and availability everywhere) $1150 is way too much. For under $100 I’m just as happy with my Gap version.
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).

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.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.

It does have an elastic loop on the collar just like the Becks.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.
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.
Shoulder seam to seam: 18”Nice score.
