    Help with Schott 618 Authenticity Check

    Obviously whoever made that jacket was going through the motions. Once they finished it, they didn't even recognize what they made anymore. They took a long look at their pile of "Crafted with Pride in USA" tags and sighed... not today. Honestly, the Perfecto label and Lot/Bndl tag should be...

    My Schott 519 in Brown – Thoughts, Fit, and My Growing Collection

    Not sure if you're referring to me - but I brought up the folds as more of a giveaway of where the alterations took place. I didn't say that having folds leads to a poor fit. I get the functional reason for them.

    My Schott 519 in Brown – Thoughts, Fit, and My Growing Collection

    Left one. What you said basically goes with his alterations: When directly comparing the before/after - yes, there are some minor differences in chest/shoulder area and the folds do show that. But ultimately no appreciable difference to the overall fit. Still doesn't look quite right. Only...

    My Schott 519 in Brown – Thoughts, Fit, and My Growing Collection

    I just saw your vid. Considering your video editing skills, I think you could've directly shown the before and after side-by-side like above. Tbh, even after your alterations, it looks like it barely made any difference to the overall fit. The feedback has been constructive imo - most people...

    Schott 641

    Can't say without measurements, but most likely the L indicates Long. When it comes to alphabetic sizing, 50 is definitely too big to qualify as Large. Closest I could find is a 141 that comes with Long sizing

    The overall fit is pretty good actually. I just don't know about the pocket placements - they're all way too high.

    How to get beer stain out of brown leather jacket

    Gonna have to dip the entire jacket in that beer. For consistency, make sure it’s the from the same brewery batch. Tbh, I’d just leave it be. It doesn’t look bad and over time will probably blend in as the rest of the jacket evolves.

    Fit Check Thread for Jackets

    It's just how the pattern of the jacket interacts with your body - don't think it'll go away during the break-in process. Short of an expensive alteration or injecting some of this around your shoulders and traps area, there isn't much else you can do. The padding seems to be the best bang for...
