@tfar:
You know, I think this is actually very similar to the leather Bundeswehr bomber jackets I saw around when I grew up in Germany, say early 80s. The leather was impressive and the color was between olive and grey, never brown though.
It's a repro of a German bomber jacket. Good eye
Cool, it's confirmed then. I'm a little proud.

@shubharamani:
Till, thanks for the advice bro. But I'm not a shirt tucker. Tucking shirts in makes me feel like "Mr. Rogers". I'll try it out though….see if it feels right. If not, out the shirt goes again !
By all means, try it out. You don't like it, don't do it. It's always been something I noticed that women don't like to tuck their shirt in. If it's really warm that's ok for me, too. But otherwise I always feel the draft coming up my shirt and one would see my lower back in the plumber position. So I prefer a tucked in shirt.

Some more info on my leather jacket

Stewart - Looks great! I love the vest version! The fact that you have the option great feature. I would love to see some fit flicks of it if you happen to get a chance.

A WAYWT pick from a while ago of me in the schott perfecto I got for my 18th birthday

SOLD
The jacket is a replica of the first motorcycle jacket made by Schott in 1928, named Perfecto after his favourite cigars ! I'll post more pics in a little while.~~~~~~~~   Only available online on their website. "The jacket has undergone a top secret vintaging process to give it that broken in feel right out of the special edition Perfecto box. Made in the USA."  The leather is heavy horsehide, it comes with original box, Schott hanger and hangtags. I was so excited when it came out of the box that I removed the tags before I realized it was one size too big for me. Bad luck ! 'cos once the tags were off, Schott refused the return.  here are the actual measurments for this XL jacket:  Armpit/armpit: 26" Bottom of jacket, side seam to side seam: 24" Back Length: 27" Shoulder: 20-1/2" Sleeve 26-1/2" As you can see here: [http://www.schottnyc.com/products/other/made-in-usa/vintaged-d-pocket-perfecto.htm](http://www.schottnyc.com/products/other/made-in-usa/vintaged-d-pocket-perfecto.htm) it retails at $935 without shipping and taxes. I am selling this one for $750 plus shipping from France to anywhere. (contact me for shipping charges to your country) Payment through Paypal.        -

Lol! Just saw that autocorrect. My mom actually told me about it. I figured a few of you would like it.

Picked up a Schott Perfecto 118. Fit is PERFECT in the arms and shoulders, and even when zipped up. I just can't decide if it's too short for how I want to wear it. Wish it was just maybe 2-3" longer.
Looks good with a shirt tucked in, but I mostly want a throw on and go jacket without having to tuck my tee in.
