Looks Great! Love the Style! Did you condition it?

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

Beautiful. He nails the lining too! So cool.
Edit— You will love the hide. Really nice to wear and to look at.

I’m somewhat disappointed in you Marc … an incoming of this magnitude requires fit pictures …
Congratulations,, it looks fantastic!

I spoke to John Chapman at Good Wear last Wednesday, and he has begun work on my Hercules
That jacket looks amazing and a great choice for the lining. Wear it well
You might want to wet the shoulders and wear the jacket until dry while gently tugging at the sleeves. As the shoulders conform, you might gain 1/2 to 1-in in sleeve "length", while at the same time "narrowing" the shoulders a bit.

I placed the order last April. At that time he told me it would be 12-14 months.

Grabbed a Schott 618hh (I think) for a GREAT price on eBay. Collar looked a little funky (crinkly) in a couple of pics but the rest of it looked like it hadn’t been worn much. Easy catch and release if the era or condition aren’t quite what I’m looking for.

Congratulations, it looks in Great Condition.
I have a 689H and one of my side section has that wrinkly look. Don’t know why?

Is it just one section? Does it feel noticeably thinner or thicker?

I would say thinner. I know they have to use the hole hide in making a jacket but my Collar has the Thickest of the leather that was used. I seen this before in Red Wing and Wolverine Heritage boots. And I have some of my other Schott jackets with the same condition happening.

I looked into the cause of the wrinkling. From what I found out that usually that leather is from the under belly of the animal. So like I said they have to use the hole hide so they in your jacket decided to use it to make the Collar.

I have a Schott built Black Stallion and I have wrinkling like that on the inside of my collar.

I know we don’t like seeing it on our jackets. That’s a Really Nice Jacket you have.
