I don't see what should contradict that. My green one seems a bit stiffer and thicker than my brown one, and even if a steer or horse seems sturdier, that doesn't make the veg sheep delicate.One last question. How would you describe their vegtan sheep? It looks beautiful, but is it tough/durable? I've always wondered about it, but didn't know if it would hold up to years of abuse.
I suppose I could just apply that question to sheepskin in general. I love that green Lewis leather sheepskin I posted above, and I've always loved the shearling Outlaw vest from Aero and this from Thedi (see below). That said, I don't really have any reason for thinking that it looks delicate, but it just strikes me as something that would tear easy if you caught it on a rough edge. None of this is rational or backed up by anything other than my overactive imagination, of course. In other words, #science.I don't see what should contradict that.

No, definitely not. It would have to be a very sharp edge and that would also damage other leather. I have touched rough house walls with mine and don't spare them and so far I have no damage.That said, I don't really have any reason for thinking that it looks delicate, but it just strikes me as something that would tear easy if you caught it on a rough edge.
Good to know. Thank you!No, definitely not. It would have to be a very sharp edge and that would also damage other leather. I have touched rough house walls with mine and don't spare them and so far I have no damage.
Damn that's nice
It very nice indeed and pretty much mint.Damn that's nice
Nope, not tough or durable. It's thicker than your average lambskin jacket but abrasion resistance is similar, which means it isn't abrasion resistant at all.How would you describe their vegtan sheep?

I think it is a pretty cool mashup.A playful, but quite fun take on the Type III from Momotaro.
It's a cross-zip, and partly zipped it looks like a motorcycle jacket. But zip it to the throat, and the lapel disappears, making it look like a normal Type III, albeit with a zip.

Clever, at the very least, and it costs less than a fifth of the price of the Lost Worlds denim cross-zip.
Interesting. I’ve been looking for info on this jacket and came across a post in the Schott forum saying they were produced from 2004-2008.I’m thinking it’s 2009 based on my conversations with the previous owner (but it could be 1999)—Schott’s tags only use a single digit designating the year, so the experts can narrow the date by looking at the buttons, lining and any interior tags—I’m no expert.
I do know that the guy hardly wore it—I’m still breaking it in. But even so, it’s supremely comfortable.
Knowing the quality of Schott’s jackets, I would assume that the new ones are made of excellent quality/weight leather. Perhaps someone on the forum will chime in with that info.
There’s a size L Schott Trucker for sale in the Toronto, Canada area… asking $320.00 cad—which is a great price.

Those dates are interesting, and there is absolutely no doubt that Gail knows Schott jackets—it was a huge loss when she passed.Interesting. I’ve been looking for info on this jacket and came across a post in the Schott forum saying they were produced from 2004-2008.

I don’t suppose you have photos of yourself wearing the jacket you can share?
