Thanks for the information. Haha, I guess I do like leather being as I am either wearing it, working with it or looking for it. I do have one Akubra Adventurer that I really like.
The information is somewhat limited on this model as I have to assume it’s out of production and not on the Akubra site. The photos I did find appears that most of the Dallas model had a liner. If I pull the trigger I may try to source a liner and new band if the shaping goes well. I believe I...
I have been posting shots of me wearing my Vansons and US Wings jackets of late which I enjoy. But, I have to refer back to my personal grail jacket, the Schott 118, I have more or less put it in the “never sell” category.
Based on my research and info gathered from Gail at Schott and the Schott forum here is what I think. Pocket tag 5th digit is a 9, couple that with the Arrow care label that places the build year either a 2009 or 2019. Schott changed from a Leathercraft care label to the Arrow label around...

I cannot directly compare the two makers but I can talk about the Schott 141. I had a 141 in Long and the sleeves were perfect for riding and were not too long off the bike. I wear 36-37 inch sleeves in a dress shirt for reference. The naked cowhide of the Schott is very hard to beat in...
