you've inspired me to buy a durable repro :) how thick would you say the leather on these is? i've heard these vintage jackets tended to be 3oz/ 1.2mm or so but there isn't much info out there.
@@LeatherJacketJawn Thank you. If Schott bought Durable, I thought it made sense why Schott claimed they made the Brando's jacket. But I guess I assumed wrong.
@tsuyoshinyc2 they claimed it was a Schott to sell theirs. It worked out pretty well, it's not that many years ago this subject and the actual Durable identification came to light.
I am Gentaro-sensei. It's a very nice Durable.
By the way, I think the coolest jacket is Durable and the most respectful jacket is Schott.
Thank you! I agree

@@drrrrzz9145 The horsehide on vintage Durables is pretty thick. I’d say 3.5 oz / 1.3-4 mm
@@LeatherJacketJawn nice, thanks
Nicely done! Enjoyed!
Thank you!
I love my Perfecto but I wish it had brass hardware. Looks more vintage
@@MrJruta brown perfectos have brass hardware
Who owns the original Brando Jacket from the movie? Great video!
Nobody knows if the original jacket still exists out there. Really hope it does.
Hello. 1 question. Did Schott purchase Durable? Gail from Schott denied that in 2019, but I really want to know.
No they did not

So who's answering the questions on Schotts website, I heard Gail had past away from her battle with cancer.
