And comparable glute development; not bad for a gentlemen of your vintage. Lol. Those glute bridges are paying off

Again Schott 613SH

Schott 613SH

I've never been entirely pleased with the fit on this jacket. I'm always conscious of extra room across the middle front between the coin pocket and the diagonal chest zipper, as if I've got a beer gut. And as one reviewer on the Schott website put it, the jacket does "blouse up" in the chest area when sitting. Maybe it's my posture, but I feel this jacket could have been cut a little more trim in the body.

I'm thinking it might be more of a length issue than width, inch or so shorter and things would look a tad more balanced.

Is that the 40 from the eBay?

no, but if you ever find one in your size, dont hesitate to buy, it does stand on its own

It's awesome, I know. Someone was selling one recently on the Bay, size 40 but they were also the member here. I offered them $650 Paypal, F/F direct but they refused because apparently my credentials weren't convincing. The bidding ended at $450 or sth like that. Lol.

I am hunting for one for sure. Would love to have it some day.

Just picked up my first vintage piece, thanks TFL. Unlabeled CHP, probably a 50s Cal?

Not sure I’ll ever be able to go back to repro.
Please excuse the selfie

Also, shout out to @Mandarin for the superb piece

bummer. he probably ended up making way less if you take off ebay fees.

good luck. great jacket if you live in colder areas. definitely overkill otherwise.

You could hardly do better with your first vintage piece than a straight zip Cal. Heck, with any first jacket, period. Or any jacket, lol.

Thank you, much. It is overall great condition and the grain is fantastic
