    Schott 618hh. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

    Interesting considering the 613SH has 'slim' in the title, though I guess the sizing/model comparison guide makes a note of the 618hh fitting very slim.

    Schott 618hh. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

    I agree that the Vanson is gorgeous and surely satisfies the cross-zip itch, but we know that never stopped anyone from wanting more. I've been on the lookout for a C2 (though probably not as urgently anymore now) but have never tried any Vansons out in person so I am not sure how they fit in...

    Schott 618hh. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

    Here's a shot of the leather side by side with a Real McCoy's shinki from The Armoury.

    Schott 618hh. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

    Reviving this thread after getting this gorgeous 618hh from @tweedydon (who got it from @Monitor). As alluded to in both of their listings it's just a really fantastic rendition of the Schott horsehide. Has a serious thickness and is gorgeous but doesn't have that kind of vinyl/blinding sheen...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Much too hot for a leather jacket of this weight but I just got it in the mail from tweedydon via Monitor and have to rock it! Could maybe use a less busy background for the pic though lol. Still dialing in how I like a Perfecto to fit but I would say I'm pretty happy with this one!

    NEW WITH TAGS! Schott Perfecto 618HH (in horsehide). 44.

    Ha! Honestly can’t entirely argue as I am 5’11 but I like a shorter jacket and would say this is juuuust the perfect level of cropped without it being too short.

    Can’t thank @tweedydon enough. Just absolutely gorgeous jacket and horsehide. Here are some initial fit pics, apologies for the open fly lol but took another with my belt showing for belt line reference.

    Vanson heavy old-school competition weight leather pants - Size 29

    Too small for me but these are absolutely killer. One day I want to be bold enough and get some leather pants....one day....

    Real Mccoy's NZ A2 authenticity

    Seconded. When it comes to more niche brands like the Real McCoy's (let alone the NZ days) there simply isn't enough demand to warrant a counterfit market. Add that on top of the fact that a high-quality leather jacket is very hard to 'fake' in that it's quality will be rapidly apparent...

    Yes I will have to ask them about their methods once I get the jacket back! I was somewhat surprsied there wasn't a comprehensive thread on the subject when I was looking for one, would definitely be good to have.

    If I were a 34/36/38 then I believe Japan's auciton market would utterly bankrupt me.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I've also seen antifungal powder as a recommendation here. FWIW I recently dealt with a rather dank moldy jacket and vinegar/alcohol didn't seem to work at all. Didn't try washing it or the antifungal powder but ended up sending it to Arrow leathercare (was $95 for cleaning/refinishing plus...

    NEW WITH TAGS! Schott Perfecto 618HH (in horsehide). 44.

    I'm somewhat similar. Measurements seem to be less reliable with perfectos but I’m hoping this one is as spot on as they should be. Perfectos can be such a guessing game with how the cuts get tweaked so if this one doesn’t workout as hoped I can certainly let you or @Loncster know!
