I going to read the post. Thanks.
What a tease.... Showing a sliver.... C'mon man, this deserves its own little thread, and then regular appearances in WJAYWT thread.I went to Japan, tried on jackets from every Japanese maker you can think of, and I'm bringing a Schott home with me lol. Well, at least the leather came from a Japanese tannery.

Goatskin?
Yeah. “Crystal brown”. Looks nice but if history is any indicator, the color probably is entirely different. I won’t mess with the other hides from 5 Star. Too many inconsistencies with the thickness.Goatskin?

i believe the recent 618hh has no us flag taggedGrabbed 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.

My pleasure. Only sharing pics of vintage stores and leather jackets makes it look like we visited Japan just for that, which of course wasn't the case. Japan is a beautiful country and we greatly enjoyed sightseeing, the delicious food and their amazing culture.Thank you so very much for sharing your Japan experience and your new Shinki Horsehide Schott. I may never get to Japan so I greatly appreciate hearing about your trip.
That's a beautiful jacket and a great fit, congrats.I recently got a Schott Perfecto P613S in Steerhide in Burgundy/Oxblood. It is my favorite jacket by far of my 9.
I have been trying to determine if your new jacket is the same color as mine or a different color variation.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!!!
Saw the Aero Sale thread from @MrProper first thing this morning and finally caved after watching these for quite some time:
