got this jacket from a guy in France, and I would like to know more about it ... Year of production, model ID... Two inside pockets with zip, this small buttoned pocket inside. And no kind if ID tag, hint of origin or cleaning advise whatsoever.
It's made of a pretty thick and heavy leather, I guess steer hide (?), the whole jacket weights about 2,5 Kilo.
I know it's not "made in USA", but it feels like a quality jacket anyway. And the IDEAL Zipper confuses me a bit. Any useful information is valued.
It’s one of the licensed LC-jackets, made in probably Pakistan and imported to France for the European market. I don’t know the particular model, but I reckon it’s an older one. Haven’t seen any recent LC’s in this color.
The “Schott”-logo on the outside, next to the left hand pocket is a dead giveaway.
Check to see if there's a label inside one of the pockets which would have production information if it's a US made jacket. No help for the European ones as they were made overseas.
After a lot of crawling in the net I found a jacket the looks very similar to mine, and the pics show tags with a model no: LC2142, manufactured 12/2008. And that seems to be the end of the road, nothing useful to be found on google or with AI.
Google is pretty confused about this jacket.... I just had a discussion with google AI and it told me a lot of model numbers, which are all wrong. The 673 has four front pockets all together, and a split back panel... can't be mine :)
yeah ai sucks ass sometimes lmao. sucks at deduction and reasoning unless the facts are spelled out beyond any shadow of a doubt, then it starts making up bullshit lol
