I'm a leather jacket freak, lol. I have 3 of the same schott 118 why maybe I'm 100% nuts when it comes to schott leather jackets. I wear them all and 3 other schott models, and 4 eastman leather jackets, and I want more.
I love that bomber jacket your wearing in the episode, that seal brown is fire!! Need one myself now, but bought a cockpit USA G2 jacket kinda like Macgyver wore…love it but that seal brown cowhide is next level😎🙌🏾🙌🏾
Great video! Your The Flat Head is amazing! I recently had the privilege to visit Tokyo and I was surprised to see a Lewis Leathers shop as well as a Schott NYC shop there. I've owned two Lewis Leather jackets for about 20 years so I thought I would stop in to check out their store. They make some beautiful stuff for sure. When I was leaving I walked right by The Flat Head store! I had no idea it was there. I came really close to buying a jacket (it was $1,600 US with the current favorable exchange rate), but I knew my wife would skin me alive so I passed on it. I also visited the Schott NYC store. I still think it's amazing how the Japanese have taken to this mid-century (mostly American) style.... so cool. Anyways, thanks for the fun video! I just subscribed and will be sure to check out more of your content. Cheers!
Love my Schott 613 but I had the epaulettes removed, I don’t care for them and prefer less collar snaps (hence why I got the one star) and I’d prefer to have the brass hardware over the steel color (my next mod) yeah, I made it “mine” lol
Great infos about different leather jackets. I used to have a few different style jackets also back in my previous life and time. Gave them all away, now I miss them all but life goes on. Again, great show a lot of infos here for those who are in to very unique special leather jackets 👍✌️😎
Great video guys, I’ve got a couple of Aero leather jackets and a couple of Aero barnstormer coats. Be careful leather jackets can become addictive! I’ve never owned a Schott but their perfecto style jackets look super cool. I love the look of your natural veg tanned leather jacket Paul, that jacket will look amazing in time. I’ve got a pair of Whites Cruiser boots in natural leather which are super nice. Thanks for posting another great video, my kind of video guys.😊
Aero is amazing too! The guy who started Simmons Bilt came from Aero. Sort of a dubious path, we were debating whether we should talk about that relationship. Maybe in the next video! Cheers!
Yes, I’m still wearing it. It’s developed a little bit of patina. I also bought the same jacket in brown. I love the fit! I see them pop up 4 sale from time to time What size are you?
@@j2thezla Hey, if you’re interested in getting one of these Vanishing Point jackets, there is one for sale on Fedora Lounge right now. In the classified section scroll to page 3.
Jackets coming out of the closet for me too. It's about high 50s in the early morning but still getting up to 90s later. It's ok, get a few hours in here and there for the next few weeks, then I think we're golden. Paul, we got a lot of the same stuff. This year I'm going to try and not buy anything and just start wearing the heck out of everything I already own. These pieces are meant to be worn a lot to get that pop, especially the tea core and natural stuff.
Just picked up a 618, got it off Marketplace for a fraction of the price of a new one, especially as I’m in Canada and the exchange is brutal. It is definitely a grail piece for me.
I have a vintage Dual Control Fireman's clasp Black Leather jacket that I inherited... I'm curious to when they were made? I've called several vintage shops to no avail
It might be from Europe. Find leathejacketjawn on IG reach out to him he’s pretty knowledgeable. Or, try posting a pic on Fedora Lounge forum. Lots of leather jacket historians on there. Good luck
Yes, I'm pretty sure it is. The only difference is the VP has zipper side pockets - Gunner does not. But' I'm sure you can order it that way. The Two Lane Brown-top is an exact copy, only in brown or black.
Do you guys have any recomendations for any good quality lightweight jacket in the double rider style? Im not honna lie, I love the style but I dont ride, I bought a 613 in the past but I couldnt wear the jacket for long periods of time without feeling exhausted after a couple hours, when I took out the jacket was kind a relief on my shoulders lol since that time Im trying to find a lightweight nice jacket to use on my day to day routine
I understand. Actually Schott leather makes a “casual” jacket in the same style. Lightweight leather, I think it’s the 533. Also, check out a company called Straight to Hell out of Chicago. I bought a jacket for my wife that’s super nice. Also, take a look at All Saints. I have one of their jackets and I love it! Good luck on your search!
I'm glad he can admit that Brando probably did not wear a Schott. It is well known now among vintage leather jacket experts that Brando did NOT wear a Schott.
Do you think they cared that much at the time? Probably just got whatever they got and made sure it looked cool on him. Don’t think they were concerned about brand specificity.
BUT i love the sunny yellow color! Its beautiful ☀️
Thanks for the shout out here boys!
Keep the videos coming.
Glad you are digging what we are doing down in the LBC.
Cheers

Our pleasure Brother! Lucky to have such great independent shops like yours!

Is Norshor still producing jackets? I tried reaching out but haven’t heard back. Their instagram hasn’t seen much activity over the past year either.
@@watchmyepics I believe so, maybe he’s on vacation or something
Just dig this review. Awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Cool shot. Great jacket, hand shift. Whohoo.
@@1990-t1j Fun to ride
Cool leather style and color your bomber is nice as well I whould love the bomber but with slash pockets instead of the square type
Great episode and so funky to hear you talk about your collection! That Jon guy looks so passionnate, too! more more!
I am passionate ! Thank you for your comment!
I'm curious if you still wear the Simmons Bilt and how it is developing. I'm thinking about buying one.
Yes, I’m still wearing it. It’s developed a little bit of patina. I also bought the same jacket in brown. I love the fit! I see them pop up 4 sale from time to time What size are you?

@@themancaveclub thanks - i chatted with him which is why i asked you this question
That leather bomber is sick!!
Indeed!
Great episode ! What size is that S&S jacket you are wearing? Also your Tri jacket from Butterscotch LBC is amazing!
Thank you! Both are size 38
Brando wore a Durable.
Yeah that’s what the common theory is!

Yes indeed. There are a couple of mine that I’m going to release into the wild soon. They just don’t get enough wear. Cheers!

Been waiting for this one
Is the vanishing point the same pattern as the tail gunner?
Yes, I'm pretty sure it is. The only difference is the VP has zipper side pockets - Gunner does not. But' I'm sure you can order it that way. The Two Lane Brown-top is an exact copy, only in brown or black.
Thanks for the reply!
Anytime brother!
Love the Standard and Strange horsehide in the natural veg tan, amazing jacket, unfortunately it’s currently sold out in all sizes.
I have this same jacket and it is incredible!
I think they’re available in the brown. Also, keep an eye out for people selling them on the secondary markets. What’s your size??
This is so cool!
Right on brother!

Probably not
Where are you guys based out of?
San Francisco area!! You??
Show full backside in the Levi’s jeans and fully zipped up leather greaser jacket
you really missed the ball by not mentioning Vanson, who are arguably the best.
So true! I don’t own any Vanson jackets. They don’t fit me well. But, I love their Stormer jacket!!
Oooh yes also don’t have any of their stuff but they are awesome
😂
you guys seem cool.. but you have no sense of style.
what's with the trucker hats?.. those don't go with the rest of the out fit 😂
We love trucker hats!
@@themancaveclubtrucker hats rule!
Shout out to Tommy when I emailed him about a little complaint I had never replied! Amazing…
He’s always been good with taking care of his customers.
U fools need to do a show on the best leather ever made. Langlitz! Tards
Yes Langlitz! When they fix their patterns we will! 😂
@@themancaveclub Langlitz is nice but the best. What is best anyways. I take a Cal over a Langlitz any day.
@@fredguerra4917Yes… it’s all very subjective.
