    Vanson leather in 2019 ?

    thanks for your answer. Yes , i had understood but it seems i missinderstood that when you wrote " they " , you were speaking about me and not about Langlitz and Lost world ! Lol It is because it seems in English you can use they for plural ( meaning for several persons ) but also for a...

    Vanson leather in 2019 ?

    what do you mean by " They seem quite concerned with the quality of Vanson products these days " ? When you say " They " , You mean Lost worlds and Langlitz are concerned with the quality of Vanson ? Where did you read about that ?

    Schott 618/613 one-star Perfecto, then and now (photo heavy)

    You mean the reproduction of original 1940's one , named 613 ( which is in fact an original 618 but with stars ) , with no underarm footballs ( named 613S nowdays ) or the original 1940's perfecto ( which had no number style ) ? 618 is nearly the same except for the schott snapps instead...

    Schott 618/613 one-star Perfecto, then and now (photo heavy)

    It seems the 118 when first introduced in 1977 , had the same fit as the 618/613 but made with Cowhide instead of Steerhide and was later upgraded to a fuller fit in late 80's to 90's . Underarm footballs appeared in mid 80's it seems. Here is the link to Schott's forum where i found that and...

    Schott 618/613 one-star Perfecto, then and now (photo heavy)

    So , based on that , there was no 613 number style used before 618 as 613 number was created for the repro perfecto with original 1940's spec ( the one called 613S nowdays , without underarm footbals nor any bi swing back although the original did not have the stars ) but i am not sure if 618...

    Schott 618/613 one-star Perfecto, then and now (photo heavy)

    Yes i mixed both ! If i remember well , the early 1940's perfecto had no bi swing back ( nor any underarm football which appeared later but i don't remember when ) , isn't it ? I have always read the Marlon Brando perfecto in the Wild ones was a true 50's Schott customised perfecto , with...

    Schott 618/613 one-star Perfecto, then and now (photo heavy)

    Yes thanks for your answer . If i remember well i read somewhere the 118 was made in the 80's ( wikipedia specifies 1977 but specifies early 50's for the 618 whereas Schott story timeline specifies early 60.s for the 618 ) . It seems ( based on Schott story timeline and wikipedia) that the...

    Schott 618/613 one-star Perfecto, then and now (photo heavy)

    The 613SH and 613S appeared in 2019 ? I thought the 613 horsehide had been reintroduced a few years before that and S model introduced earlier than 2019 as well . Originaly , the first model of them all , after the ones produced for Beck in 1928 and Harley as well i believe , was the 613...

    Actual production Schott B3 257S quality

    About what was saying DAV , i certainly believe him for what he says about his jacket but for the other pictures i posted i really have a doubt for the Aeroleathers B3 picture i uploaded ( and the wool seems different as well , like what we are speaking about above ) , simply because the ones...

    Actual production Schott B3 257S quality

    Yes, it barely froze or snowed in Paris either but i am thin and not liking cold weather ! Lol Do you ride a motorbike ? Cause for me , even if the weather is not under zero ° celsius , i would be freezing riding a motorbike without it in winter !

    Actual production Schott B3 257S quality

    Maybe i did not express myself correctly ( sorry i am not a native English speaking , i am french ) but i said i believed what you were saying ( about your jacket ) , no problem with that , i was just saying how i see that with my own eyes ; no offense intended . Or maybe i did not understood...

    Actual production Schott B3 257S quality

    That is exactly what i was thinking ( and writing in my previous post while you were writing yours ) , or at least wondering about the more recent way the animals are bred and fed in leather production ! I hate it ! Many people say that leathers were better in the past and it became especialy...

    Actual production Schott B3 257S quality

    @ DAV : I believe you that it might have been desîgned like that if you say so but i see it as finish crackings due to rigidity of the leather . For the Loose grain , It is like stretch marks on a human body but it happens more often on the animal belly where the skin stretches more and this is...

    Actual production Schott B3 257S quality

    I am not a leather specialist but i learnt that from one working in leather production and i believe the picture i posted of the Aeroleather is showing loose grain ( and for sure the Schott B3 picture i uploaded shows loose grain cause i held it in my hand to verify how the above layer of skin...

    Actual production Schott B3 257S quality

    You don't get cold weather in London ? So it is a different London than what i think about ( although i only know London in September but it was already colder than in Paris ) ! Lol Or i am more sensitive to cold weather than you ( that's possible indeed) ! Lol Cause in Paris , i can tell you...
