Rain here also. Picked up this B from the classifieds a while ago and I’m trying to get it to mold to my form. It’s yoemans work but the juice is worth the squeeze.

Did you buy this from @Mandarin ? If you did it’ll never break in, I didn’t make a dent on it when I had it. I wonder how many people have owned this jacket over the years. It laughs at our efforts.

This is not only an 11/10-jacket, that is also a stellar fit! LW has great designs, but I sometimes thing their sizing is a bit on the generous size for some bodytypes.

Can you help me out a bit, please: What size did you pick, and how does that compare to what you chose from other makers? Did you do anything with the body-lengths?

In any event: Wear it often and hard. But by all means, wear it in good health! Together with @JMax‘ midnight blue Aero, this is one of the most impressive jackets lately!

See this version of the 613 is not as thick as a vanson or LW, though thicker than their regular model. It’s no Rich-Sher or Lawrence. But I love how it looks when it’s worn hard. It creases and rolls so nicely. And some people hate the shine, which on a lot of jackets I do but I love the finish on this model. But it’s still just missing that “it” factor.

I agree with you on all points. The fit also isn’t quite right, depends on the weight of the shirt I wear underneath. I may take up the FL 30-day challenge with this jacket to really smack the “newness” out of it. Once thoroughly broken in, I think it will be quite nice.

Say what you will but Schott knows how to make these. It looks great on all points. They've much improved the leather lately, too.

Really? Can you develop? What improvement did you notice? Collaborations?

Looks spectacular from where I’m sitting right now!

Yeah this is the 613SH or whatever it is with the thicker hide. I owned one for years and moved it in a trade. It’s much nicer than the standard one. And love the way it creases love the shine on it. It’s great. I just think compared to the Rich-Sher and Lawrence ones that @Gamma68 owns this one I can’t explain why isn’t like those. But if you’re going to buy one of the classic Schott models, this is hands down the one to get!

Greetings All:
Today....90’s Gap trucker.
I wish all my jackets learned how to pop grain the way this one is.
For a cheapo jacket, bang for the buck is big.
Be well. Bowen

Thanks, RK!
The jacket weight 8.5 lbs, the hide is not as thick as LW, but it is super stiff(It bruised my arm from first few times try on when new) even compare to brand new LW 4oz plus HH.
The company has no business connection to Langlitz as far as I know, the hide (they called Hard Steer)is produced from Korea, and the jacket is made in China.
I don't see any difference from LW in terms of quality, I can't imagine how it is possible to sew this super stiff leather together.

The only downside of this jacket is the finish of the hide is rather easy to scratch off from normal use.

Price is around $720.

“Normal use”....the Terminator would wear this on a bad day.
The Kadoya uses Cal and Langlitz as a liner!!
Pretty cool!

Too warm for leather so Waxed cotton trucker time.

Spent the day in the City, still breaking in my horsehide G-8 (made by U.S. Authentic). The hide is a gorgeous caramel russet, thick yet pliable, and it’s developing some really great graining/creasing.

All I did was tell stu my height/weight and body type. I didn't do anything with the length either. I just explained to him how I wanted the jacket to look. Picked cuffs, yoke, special stitching. That's it
