I should point out that yes, Schott makes many jackets with different leathers. i don't think all of them are so high quality. The heavy naked cow, found on the 141 and the Perfecto is the one I think is better than all the rest.

I am a fan. Sort of. The Schott heavy naked cowhide is absolutely the greatest leather used in a jacket ever according to objective standards of truth and beauty. It is heavier than Aero's CXL and the most beautiful looking leather. No shiny coating and a slightly oily but matte look. There...

Is that really a FINNISH cold weather jacket?

People have pointed out many times on this forum that the low rise jean and vintage cut leather jacket don't mix. Personally, I feel that unless you have a really short torso, low rise jeans are a bad look anyway and you might consider going with something just a little higher. If that isn't...

Send it in for DNA testing.

I haven't seen the heavier Aero oil pull in ages. I wish they would restock it. The mid weight is ok but nothing compared to the old stuff.

It seems hard to believe that the tennis balls could have taken the shiny coating off of CXL leather. I experimented a bit with my jacket and nothing that really worked, except when I experimented with some rubbing alcohol on the inside of the jacket. That finish that Horween puts on is almost...

The current Horween CXL that Aero uses is nothing like the Schott naked cowhide. If you are correct about the similarity then it must be an older model. Perhaps it could be the old oil pull that Aero discontinued.

Did the dryer remove the shiny coating from the leather completely. It is hard to tell from pictures. It looks like it may have dulled it but not removed it like alcohol would.

I had a naked leather jacket and over a dcade it got soaked through a few times. No problem. Let it dry out naturally...no artificial heat...and it will be fine. I hope. I wish Aero had some naked leathers like this.

Is that just regular Horween CXL, like Aero uses? Something looks different. Could just be the lighting I suppose?

I wouldn't been seen reading GQ magazine. Besides, they aren't "mainstream". They appeal to a narrow portion of the market who would actually take their God awful fashion advice.

I like trimmer fitting jackets like the 30s halfbelt from Aero. When it gets cold I wear my wool topcoat. One jacket won't do it all.

I had a sample of the battered horse. What amazed me was how quickly the highlights would burst through when I creased it up. My next jacket is the battered seal.

I support the proper use of the word PATINA and believe in enforcing proper usage with whatever force is neccessary on this forum.
