Here are a few of mine
First generation
Second Generation (the Brando design)
Another second gen
This my closest one to the actual Brando model. Has the correct details such as pointed epaulets, belt that connects to back kidney panel, correct underarm footballs…
And here is my Durable copy by American Sportswear

I love this one. The Crown zips and lining that change colors depending on how you look at it are amazing.

This has been a fruitful discussion. We saw some cool Durable pics on fellow loungers, clarified the USA versus CA Durable brands, and got to see a USA Durable advertisement.
Now we need to find the link between USA Durable and Schott. That'll be a discussion for next time, LOL.

I think that search will lead us to the address of Schott's marketing department lol.

Wow, what a collection. This jacket is an absolute grail for me — probably never achievable for a small fry like me. I even doubt it was ever produced in my size. It’s really the fit and cut that make the jacket, IMHO.

Wow, that's quite the find! I've seen B&W two-tone jackets gonig back to the late 40s / turn of the fifties, but I think this is the first time I've seen an all-white cross-zip that's pre-1970, maybe even pre-1980. Great to see one documented here - and a Durable, at that!

I was wondering if/when this was going to show up. Is the P2P really 17.5" like the seller showed? I almost bought out of principle since they were giving it away, but that'd be way too small even for me.
Showstopper!!
Leather, lining and hardware look to be in extremely good condition for a jacket that old.
