do the jackets still look good once they fade to gray after decades? (Talking about the black dyed ones)

In a once in a lifetime type thing I found a Schott one star at an auction. It looked new. I got it for $45. Schott confirmed it was from the 1950s. It didn’t fit me so I sold it. The spare stars were still in the pocket.

Recently got the 618 in black. Beautiful jacket. Every time i look at it hanging on the jacket rack, it just looks like a really high-end jacket. It doesn'st look cheap at all it looks of high quality. Really nice. Love the weight of it too. I've come to the conclusion that for the rest of my life, when i'm in a room with other people, 9/10 i'll prolly have the best jacket in the room. Not that that's why i bought it or anything but i've realized that now because i realize how high quality this jacket is after seeing it in person and wearing it.

Great video. The timing is hilarious though. I just spent the past two weeks researching the differences in all the Perfecto models and the one I chose just arrived today. This video would have come in handy. Glad it’s here for others though. Perhaps it will save them the hours I spent on forums.

I was looking at the schott website to find specific care products for veg leather, they're not specified. Everything about it is really well made, no fraying or lose ends. What are some storage suggestion? Would it be best to store on a hanger with a cover, place on a microfiber bag to keep dust out, or something else.

Luckily I live in the NYC area. Schott holds annual factory sale in NJ. The sale consists of everything new at a discount but the real discounts are the extra overhead they cannot get rid of, one off prototypes, & some slight cosmetic issues. I bought my classic black 141 & an antique brown 585. My sister hit paydirt with an aviator Top Gun style leather jacket for her son my nephew. It was an old jacket that never sold. Apparently there was a nick on the front (jacket is distressed so I couldn’t find the nick for the life of me). Anyway a typical Schott runs around $600-$700. My sis paid $80!!!! It’s an amazing jacket. It’s the same leather as my 585 which is distressed. This was aviator style as opposed to my 585 which is classic moto meets army style. It’s a cash only final sale event every first Saturday in December. It’s always my highlight around Christmas time. There is also a $50 & under room. Picked up some awesome peacoats & vests too. No I do not work for Schott I just love their merchandise.

A nice jacket. I would advice it for functional wear, if you're riding in the rain get a horsehide, if you fall off from the bike a lot get a thick steerhide like a P613S, if you want it for casual wear and just want the bad boy look, any thin leather like lambskin and stuff will be great, like the Raven for example. I think the Schott Perfecto is a must have piece if you do have a collection of leather pieces, i would advice going to the punk / heavy metal look instead of the Marlon Brando one since that looks extremely old to me, but it is a nice piece. I would take the risk of saying it is the most edgy and aggressive looking piece of clothing there is in the market along some heavy combat boots, and in my experience, women like to hug guys wearing one of these in a heavy black pebbled leather. Greetings

I've noticed the First brand has really well fitting jackets and I prefer them over most other companies .

I originally wantwd a schott 626vn but couldnt find a decent second hand one in my size so i went for the easy rider by understated leather. I love the jacket and i wear it every day! Walking the dogs, going out for a meal, rain snow hail or sun its my go to jacket. My only issue is the lining isnt really up to par and its starting to wear through inside the elbows so ill probably get it re lined with flannel similar to the schott 626 at some point
