What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Observe]

Nice! Schott did all the jackets for the new movie Bikerriders coming out next week.

Tom Hardy wears your jacket in the movie.

At first I thought it was the vintage Sears D-pocket but when I saw the bomber epaulets on this jacket, I knew it’s something different. Found out later that Schott outfitted the entire film crew.

I wonder if the movie will be any good. Part of me wants to see it just for the jackets lol.

This is a Sears Oakbrook I had last year (sold it and now kinda feel sad about it lol) and it does have epaulets. Maybe not as old as the example you had in mind @Nacho?

This is what I meant by the bomber epaulets.

If you zoom in the picture of him sitting with the director, you’ll see the epaulets are similar to the pic above. I’ve never seen a vintage Sears Dpocket having this epaulets configuration before. Or maybe I’m missing something. Schott did borrow a lot of ideas from the aviation industry back in the days though.

Yours is the later version towards the 60s when they transitioned to the Oakbrook label.

I’ve seen that bomber epaulets on the Sears map pocket though, but that jacket is built on an A2 chassis so that makes sense.

Oh I see what you mean now, different style of epaulets.

Cal, Kurland & their JCP/SC labeled jackets, some others used “bomber style” epaulets on some MC jackets. I can’t recall seeing them on Sears-labeled MC d pockets. The Appalachian jacket is the only MCish jacket.

That is a nice Schott D pocket. I wouldn’t kick it out of bed.

Love the old school design and details.

When I first saw the movie trailer it looked like the Sears d pocket but I could tell the leather didn’t look like that of a 80yo jacket. Now it’s all clear. Cool jacket nonetheless.

This is (one of) the 50s versions, I believe made by CSC. (Also in the classifieds)

It won't.

Should be - though I'm a bit of a Jeff Nichols fan. Liked 'Mud', thought 'Take Shelter' was real good. Movies tend to take their time a bit but always solid.

Mud was great. Mcconaughey and Witherspoon did an awesome job in it. Also the kids and the late actor who plays the dad. Forgot his name…

Sam Sheppard. Would be surprised if his picture isn't already up here from the jacket he wore as Chuck Yeager in 'The Right Stuff'

This is a great jacket, and it suits you to a T! Big congratulations!

I didn’t much care for the last iterations of Perfectos, due to the odd dimensions (elongated bodies, tubular shapes), but they really outdid themselves with this one.
Only thing I am not completely sold on is the rather busy back.

I will eat a broom if that doesn’t sell out by the end of next week.

That’s him. Thanks, friend.

The Right Stuff was a great one as well. Got all heavy hitters cast - Sam, Dennis Quaid, Ed Harris and Scott Glenn. Scott Glenn was amazing in Training Day with Denzel even though his part was small.

For those on the west

Dont like the pebbled leather. I think they’re trying for an immediately soft jacket for people who see the movie and decide they want their 1st biker jacket

 

[Jaymig926]

The jacket is definitely more pliable than the standard steer but still needs some breaking in it’s still a substantial jacket for sure , I’m not one for the soft fashion jacket and this one won me over

 

[Mythic]

Thanks much! It really grows on me. Pleasure to put on. Very easy to wear, despite the apparent snugness. Wore it today with a fairly chunky hoodie amd had absolutely zero issue.

If it would grow one inch in length, I’d never take it off again…

It's slim but I can tell from the pic you've got that layering room! Just a true beauty, wear it in good health!

 

[Tom71]

Very, very nice hide on this one.

Very similar in look, smell and temper too the ‚oil-tanned‘ Shinki, Himel uses or what Greg Field used to call ‚Pony-hide‘. A bit stiffer than the later, but all in all very pliable to begin with.
