Weather roller coaster forced me to pop on the ridiculously luxurious mouton collar when temps dropped below freezing and the snow started. I don’t love the look of the extra snaps on the collar for the detachable mouton. I think they make it look a little busy. However, the added versatility and warmth might just off set that.

Right? Honestly I’d probably be envious of anyone that could pull that off.

I’m not sure I’ll ever be that cool

I’d wear it in a heartbeat and am not a cool guy. Far from. I just really like spots, studs, and stones, etc.

@Bfd70 I'm with you. These are collars spelt 'Cuddle'.

But I'm going to add some cow bells to the J-106.


I'm not.........

Just picked up an early 70’s Beck Arnley 999 (likely a precursor to the Schott 125) in size 34. It’s the smallest size I can get away with but I don’t have any T Shirt fit jackets and I think the 70s cut of the sleeves works far better for me than my 90s Schott.

The leather isn’t my most amazing (in common with Schotts of the time, the sleeve gussets are pleather), but I love this pattern, and it feels nice to have some Beck history (albeit late era Beck, missing the French seams on the inside lapel panels).

That looks really sharp! I really didn't want to think about another jacket since I have 2 on order currently but this is just too cool...
Seems most these 90’s era Schott’s ended up in SE Asia or Japan. I have no idea why. This one came from Malaysia. For those worried about length this 90’s model is longer and has handwarmers. For comparisons sake:

Somewhat hard to tell but the black is a solid 1” longer in the body, and it has a weak collar. I prefer the older, shorter ones but they just did not make them in black. And while I’m at it I actually wore my rust Jo-o-Kay today. Probably last time for the week as it’s set to warm up. And there’s all 3 of my suede type 3 in one post.

I want two more. LOL.
