I just got my jacket delivered the texture and the inner part are good , but let me know that is it perfect or kinda need other one? My shoulder is 19.5. Ordered xxl shoulder 20.5
So xl. Was tight so i choosen xxl so judge me
I can't believe I bought such a good product for $659. The tea core horse leather and Mouton collar are perfect The 4XL size fits perfectly and is comfortable
How do you deal with the noise?
I can't stand it. I used to have a badalassi halfbelt deluxe from Aero Leather, I resold it after 2 weeks.
I feel like Mr Krabs in that SpongeBob squeaky boots episode. Every move, every step, every breath I take there's this damned squeak.
I want to love Badalassi leather. I find it absolutely beautiful and comfortable to wear. It is to me as beautiful as RC's Shinki HH or Horween's CXL. I want to wear it, especially this newly released absolutely gorgeous black SLH Varenne.
But damnit the noise.
Experienced Badalassi owners, how is your jacket today? Does it eventually quiet down? Or is it still squeaking like hell after 5 years of wear?
Would having it "tumbled" (like Aero's tumbled CXL they used to offer as an option) make it quieter? Conditioning + Tumbling?
Very special piece to have since this is what my great grandfather flew in in ww2
Just got this jacket from EBay it is a Schott 618. The fit is great but I just now realized that the previous owner cut the epaulettes off the jacket. I don’t know why someone would ruin a perfectly good jacket but here we are.
They never mentioned it in the description and never took pictures of the issue. With that being said the condition of the jacket is excellent and it fits very well so I think I’m going to reach out to Schott and see if they can add new epaulettes to the jacket.
I’ll definitely make sure to look closer at the pictures next time I take the blame for it but just can’t believe it was never mentioned.
I know everyone has their preferences, but I think that if you don’t like something that much you feel the need to cut off from your jacket, pick a different style. There are some many to options to choose from. I know they make biker jackets without epaulettes from other brands, I just honestly don’t get it.
If Schott can’t do it anyone else have any other recommendations that would be great if you have done this same repair before and might know what a quote for something like this would be thanks!
I know the sleeves are short but I’m thinking about seeing if I can have them lengthened (there’s an inch or two of leather in the hem of the sleeves). How is the rest of the fit? I got this relatively cheap and I like it otherwise.

Hey everyone! Just picked up this vintage Schott 115 in size 42 for €255 with shipping included. It seems to be in really great condition overall. Im just entering the leather jacket world and i would love to hear your opinions on this one. I think is a little rarer than the usual 618. Honest thoughts about the price on this one?
And another question:Do you think it's better to grab an old-school 80s Schott than a brand new leather jacket today for the same price? In terms of leather quality, durability… Your responses are appreciated!! Thanks very much
