Time to unbox the Master Supply Co Daytona. This particular model is the Daytona 224. It has some slight design changes from base model Daytona. It's also made in a different leather. MSCo calls it "Accelerust" which is a medium brown base with black pigment on top. Apparently a very fast-fading leather. In this video I go over why Master Supply Co caught my interest, the idea behind their prod...

Hi ❤❤❤❤❤😊
dig the new spot!
@@AVEXentSUCKS thanks man! Kinda bare at the moment but it’s a great blank canvas!
What size you got on?
@@callumslater3040 hey man it’s a 40
@@DudsByDel thankyou, love it 👍
We need a review from a real motorcyclist someone who has put serious miles on a schott perfecto. Some of us are looking for motorcycle jacket advice, not fashion advice I’m not saying you don’t give great reviews.
What’s the name of the shirt?
It’s the iron heart 235 military serge western
You should do a video on how to clean and condition a jacket. I just bought a used 626 and love it but think it may need some care. It’s 10 years old. Leather is still shiny but texture wise i think it could use some conditioning.
I did a simple conditioning jacket on one that was already kinda fine but just a little dry. Would be fun to do one on a more dirty/needy jacket
@@DudsByDel yeah like the full process. When to use not to use saddle soap as well as product recommendation. I have some redwing leather cream but I’m not sure if it would be okey to use on my jacket.
Hey Duds, lovely Short video, and I also like that beautiful leather jacket, which looks very stylish on you! Keep on rocking your leathers! Peace, blessings and kindest regards from Switzerland.
I choose black. Sorry, that's just how I roll
You should let the pants fall a little more over the boots, they are too high, I know they are worn like that now but I don't like them so high up, but the look is very good.
Oh. My. Word. That is niiiiiiiiice! Where did you find that?????
Hey man! Got it from yahoo auctions Japan. Sizing works like standard 641, which I find is true to normal size.
sexy, handsome and very masculine, but I would have liked the belt to be black, forgive my English
BRMC rock
Hell yeah man
We're missing you my man. Hope all is well with the relocation.
Hey thanks man! Has been quite a lot. Just finished unpacking all of the non-winter clothes, including my jackets! Getting back into things here as much as possible given everything going on.
A very good video, thank you very much! The material of the jacket (cotton and polyester) isn't the best, the original NyCo (50% nylon and 50% cotton) is much more durable. In my opinion, the Helikon-Tex and Propper models (both NyCo) are also worth a look.
Will have to check em out. Would like to try one of the fancy repro models at some point too
Get to the point! Jesus, bla bla bla....
Thanks for stopping by
That surely is a kool jacket!
💯 👊💥
Hi big brother can u suggest the length of leather jacket for a 5.9” guy!
Hey man, it depends somewhat on your torso length. But I’m also 5’9” and a range from around 23.75” - 24.75” works well for a trim jacket on me. Other lengths can make sense depending on the style too of course!
@@DudsByDel ok thnk u i agree with you that torso length matters in this case i like the fit of your schott 618 can you tell what its front length
@@NavDeepDhim4n I’d have to check but I think it’s around 22”? In any case if you want to know the size I wear a 40 in the 618
@@DudsByDel i know your 618’s size brother 😊 and i measured the length between my shoulder to torso where i want my jacket to end and it came out exactly 22 inches bcz i wear levis 517 which sat a little bit high on my waist bcz of that i need a short jacket i am planning to buy schott 618 but i am unable to find its correct length so pls if u can takeout a couple of minutes for me to measure the length of your jacket i would be thankful to you bro and it will be very helpful for me bcz i will also buy it in size 40
So if I wanted to wear this jacket with minimal to no layering underneath (so like just a t shirt) should I go one or two sizes down?
I’d probably go 2 down for that. What you see on me is 1 size down. 1 down gives an oversized look if you’re not wearing layers (which I like but sounds like you’re going for a more fitted look)
@@DudsByDel thank you very much!!
Ive always liked brown leather more than black, black is just black but brown has so many shades and nuances....
Often the case for sure. In this particular leather it’s actually not got a lot of depth. They treated it for very uniform appearance
maybe himel bros Imperal comes from the same factory too. 😉
Nice looking jacket but it has no storm flap .
Simply perfect!
It’s really an incredible jacket, no doubt about it!
I’m impressed.
Appreciate it Joshua!
For anyone wondering, the fur collar from the 184 is different to this perfecto one, it won’t fit
Perfect
Appreciate it
What a coincidence I just ordered a pair of Wesco Boss 7500 from Ship John.
Such a great pair of boots. Enjoy them!
You didn't even mention the stretchy gauze material they use to hold the hood on. That's the worst design feature the Rothco M65
Yes I could see that failing with time…if I do an update will include it
Call it a spark of madness but I ran my used 618 through the washing machine… and it came out incredible. Musty mildew smell was gone, it didn’t lose its shape at all. I didn’t use soap and all it needed after drying a few days was a good conditioning. I don’t recommend anyone do it but it worked for me
Schott limited runs. Ahh the blue A-1 flight jacket years ago
Yeah they do some cool stuff! Will have to look up the blue A1
Congratulations!
Really appreciate it!
Hi. That is a nice jacket. I am 6'3" and 220 lbs. I hope next year you will get a 46. I guess in a way it is a blessing. I can have time to save up. Congrats on working out that distro situation. --Michael
Hey Michael! Can definitely do 46 next year. Would suggest signing up for the newsletter to get a heads up when the orders open up!
That's a fantastic accomplishment, congratulations Del.
Thanks so much. Really exciting stuff!
Wow, awesome! Now it’s time to start saving up 👍🏻
Get on it! 😁
Great video, Del. Your excitement is palpable! By all means, bring on the RC All State!
Thanks so much Mark. The All State: Dream or reality? Only time will tell 😂
@@DudsByDel Baby Steps! Bringing RC to USA is a Giant step. Good on ya'
Congratulations Del, best of luck with your new venture!
Thanks man! So far, so good!
Rainbow is super nice. To my is not worth it. I am not a big fan of Schott. However, I do like them and always used them in my wardrobe. If you like Schott buy them used for about $350 USD. The Rainbow still expensive at 1.2k. in the used market.
Hey Al! Yeah that has been my experience on finding both used as well. I do like Schott, Vanson, Aero which are all easy enough to find used
That’s so cool that you’re a distributor for Rainbow Country! I know you were talking about something similar with Schott, I’m happy for you man!
Thanks Cade! I’m so stoked! Schott was a no-go for now but there are several others I’m talking to, all make great jackets
@@DudsByDel That’s awesome, I’m excited for you and I’m excited as a viewer and fellow lover of leather goods! Can’t wait.
Hey Duds, that so great, that these beautiful leather jackets can be purchased from you by now, because you are really an expert on this field. - Also this video is so very helpful and inspirational for any potential buyer! Great work, - respect! Keep on rocking your leathers!! Peace and kindest regards from Switzerland.
I have a 46 inch chest and just submitted my order for a size 46 Aero Sheene jacket. How would you compare Aero sizing to Rainbow country
Well Aero sizing is famously all over the place, so it’s hard to compare. The Sheene / Cafe Racer model from them has historically had a pretty generous chest, though they were working on a “new version” with slimmer chest and less aggressive taper. If your chest measures 46 inches around the broadest part while wearing a t shirt, a 46 in the Hercules would give you something close to the fit you see on me.
You didn't zip the jacket, so I couldn't see how it fits closed, and that's very important, sorry for my English.
You can see it zipped in my original review starting at 5:30 ua-cam.com/video/QJkvE0rzgbI/v-deo.htmlsi=Zzzpu2--sV7yzmxk I’ve also posted a lot of other videos featuring it, pretty sure several shorts show it zipped
Are you getting 38's? What's the pit to pit and sleeve length?
Hey man, I don’t have any 38’s in the order that aren’t already taken. It’s possible I could add one if you’re willing to pre-order and Rainbow Country allows it. There’s a size chart in the product listing, but fyi I find it gives larger numbers than I get. I’m trying to find out from someone I trust how their 38 measures. For example, they seem to give sleeve measurement around the curve rather than straight down
From a friend who has a 38: Found it! 21” p2p 18” shoulders 23.75” sleeves 24.5” back length 26” front length
What is the pit to pit size of your size 40 jacket?
I get right about 22” zipped up laid flat from edge to edge under the armpit
Man that is rough timing. I just got the P628H from Schott! I’ll have to wait for next year! Plus I will echo the other comment I saw here. A 34 or 36 size offering would be cool next time please! Great videos and content!
Thanks Benjamin! Highly encourage you to sign up for the letter, will be infrequent but have updates about orders opening up
@@DudsByDel will do!
Prefer the Cafe Racer’s back. Cafe Racer with a modified collar
Are you going to get 34 or 36 sizes?
Hey Pelv! My order has been submitted for this years production. I kept to middle sizes due to my limitations. I can definitely do a 34 or 36 next year when I order with them. It’s possible I could add to my order for this year but I’d need your pre-order to be placed before I take it up with Rainbow Country. If they say no for this year I’d refund you.
@DudsByDel thank you so much, but I'll wait for next year because I have my sight on the studio deartisan 45th anniversary leather jacket. Will get the rainbow jacket from your website next year. Good luck with your projects.
@@pelv3027 sure thing, enjoy the SDA jacket. I’d encourage signing up for the newsletter to receive notice when I’m opening the pre-order up again
@@DudsByDel absolutely, even more so if you aquire more brands or different designs.
Great video! One question buyers need to ask when purchasing used is to ask the seller about smell. I’ve bought many many used leather jackets and at least 1/2 of them had an issue with odors or mildew. Most were returned for a refund but some I got stuck with. It can be a real issue and most smells such as mold, mildew, and thrift store smells cannot be removed. It is almost impossible to live with odors and can be so frustrating when a gorgeous jacket comes that you would otherwise love but can’t wear due to the odor. I hope this tip helps!
Yeah smell is a good point. I’ve heard using an ozone machine can remove a lot of smells. But a moldy jacket- no thanks!
It’s funny I recently bought a 118 from eBay that was supposedly new vintagewithout tags. It had horrible pictures but wanna really great price. So I took a chance. It arrived smelling like old closet and marajuana. I boxed it back up and returned to the seller as directed by eBay. It ended up coming back to me as the seller had moved and could not be reached. eBay refunded me and told me to keep the jacket. The pot smell faded and after cleaning it up and researching it ends up it was from the late 1980s which is when I was a teen in school and started my love of the black leather motorcycle jacket. I cleaned it up and the pot smell actually disappeared in shipping! The closet smell didn’t but it is now one of my favorite jackets. I have tried ozone machines on some of my musty eBay finds. It has never really worked, only making the musty smell with that of ozone which fades back to the musty smell in time. I thin the ozone works best in cigarette smoke from my experience. Again great channel!
@@spencerdarrow8201 hah that’s a great eBay story. Haven’t used the ozone myself just heard about it…but good to know about cigarette smell. I have hung jackets out under the porch for a week that came with odd smell and it really helped too. Thanks for sharing
I bought a jacket that arrived smelling like a homeless person (piss and body odor). After putting it thru the washer an letting it dry over a week the smell was greatly reduced but still there. I then put it inside a plastic bin and dumped in a box of arm and hammer pet fresh and shook it up. Left it for a week and that got rid of 90% of the smell.
Hey Duds, yeah, as you say, this combo is kinda really badass, haha.., but it seriously is looking good and fits you very well. Wishing you all the best, peace and kindest regards.
