Finally jacket weather in Munich - today Schott 544, if I am not mistaken. The guy I bought it from said he got it in 1997 from the US. Should be 544 Pebbled Steerhide.

Maybe the experts here can give their verdict on the model?
Very nice looking vintage Schott - clean styling and great looking hides. You've got a keeper there.

Yeah man I’m glad I got all my Aeros early brother because that price hike is substantial I’m extremely glad about this one as well because I don’t think they cary the olive anymore if I’m wrong somone please correct me for the future
Yep. No Olive or Natural vicenza based on website info. Your T-3 has the snap closures - mine have the buttons - either way, they make a statement that says 'good taste'.

I just picked up this vintage 70's hippie jacket for a very reasonable price. Feels brand new- like it's never been worn. The fit feels about right and the leather is buttery soft. But the collar is kind of wacky. Kind of on the fence about it. Thoughts? Keeper? Send it back?

I think the fit is good, and the collar is just overly flattened down, even the top of the zipper seems pulled back because of it, I think it should roll up a bit then fold and it’ll be a lot more wearable, I personally like it popped up.

I also got rid of the useless pocket straps to give it a cleaner look and actually use the pockets, and now I use it more open with a slight fold along the zipper to balance out the popped collar.

Very nice!

Is it the original East West Musical Instrument Co jacket? I have seen many repros but not the original one in the wild
