Hello there!
I have bought this leather jacket from a japanese used marketplace online. It made me curious and I began this thread in search of more information about it.
What caught my eye is how much it reminds me of Schott's 618. I know that the 618 is a pretty generic design, but some parts of it, once you take a closer look, are really reminescent of Schott's take on the Double Rider; the leather belt being partially sewn over the kidney panel on the back. Speaking of the belt, it's raised a little bit higher from the jacket's hem, just like modern day 618s. On the inside, we have a very similar lining to the 618's, alongside a pocket.
I wonder if you guys know anything about this model or the brand itself. It's called Rockers and it was apparently founded on the 1960s. Very likely it's of Japanese origin but who knows.
