Trucker suggestions

Hey mate, Jerri from Schott actually got back to me. She said it was a ‘98–‘05 jacket made from lightweight cowhide in black or brown, even sent a sizing chart which was nice. Seems the jacket is on the uncommon side now because of the production date.

I did come across this scan of a page in an old Schott catalog. It doesn’t really offer any new information, unfortunately.

Yeah seems to be largely forgotten. Don’t know if I’m weird for this but it endears me to the jacket a bit more lol

Compared to what I’ve been reading here I must be in the minority. I really like type iii jackets and own several. I found that the Aero type III did not fit very well - too boxy - I had one specially made for me 46 top, 44 bottom - that looked kind of screwy and I had my leather tailor correct it as best she could. The result looks decent. I do have a Schott that I like but it is not as tapered as their perfecto types - so my tailor is adjusting it also to match the weight I just lost. Last year I got a custom jacket from Thedi (I had the collar cut down from what is on the Website) that looks great -so great that I ordered another in a different color/leather. Theodoros is going to add hand pockets to the second one. His jackets also have industrial zippers versus buttons or snaps which I really like. A few years I also bought an indigo Y2K trucker type jacket. That jacket looks great but a little tight - been cutting back on the groceries and the fit is almost there. This is a really super looking jacket. My 2 cents..
