Schott Leather Goods

New pickup! This one is in a black cherry/burgundy horsehide from Horween. Much softer than I expected.

Sold that Schott I posted a while back. Ended up finding a newer model (519?) that fits a little longer in the body, but similar in the shoulders and arms. Quality is great, but realizing I just really don’t need that much thick leather on a jacket. Would definitely wear it more if I was riding with it!
-
@Go-For-Chill I think this is the vibe I am looking for in a leather jacket. What style or model is this one?
-
Anybody have experience with the “duke”370? I’m looking for fit details. How is Schott with measurement consistency?

I went to Schott’s NYC showroom a couple weeks ago and spent way too long trying on about every model they had. I tried most of them in two sizes. Just from that experience I’d say their sizing consistency was solid, specially for leather garments. Larges all fit the same, even across different models. Obviously just anecdotal, but I left the store with a whole new appreciation for the quality of their jackets.

@Go-For-Chill awesome, wish I had the same opportunity. Thanks, that’s helpful.
I’m on the fence between a medium and large. Would like to have room for a standard weight hoodie or uhf underneath but otherwise slim fit jacket. It seems like a large would be in order. It’s just tricky to tell how the sleeve or pits would fit based on pics without measurements

This is Morgan’s gift this year. Schott x Imogene collab. Beautiful rough out (pics don’t do it justice) and built like a tank. Also, I’m rather jealous that neither of my leather jackets smell even close to this!

@WhiskeySandwich really like the style of that jacket.
-
@Go-For-Chill great pickup! Do you have some fit pics of this beauty?
-
@Mizmazzle tell Morgan she has great taste and an excellent husband.

@jordanscollected thanks home slice!

Got this in and really like it but it’s got some scratches (well scratches would be fine but these are on the verge of being called cuts) on the left chest panel. I’m going to exchange but I’m not so sure about the fit. The torso is a bit over the provided (23.5) measurements with a 25” pit to pit and about a 23” sweep. I’m a little more used to higher arm holes too. Thoughts on the Large?

@WhiskeySandwich looks like you nailed the fit, dude. Shoulders are spot on and sleeve length looks perfect too. The back length is also in the sweet spot for my own personal tastes.
Looks like you can rock it with a tee and still zip it up with a hoodie underneath too.It’s all about mobility and comfort though too. How are those factors?

Looks perfect to me.
-
@Mizmazzle @Denimhead-0 thanks for the feedback! I do like the fit, it’s pretty versatile from tee to a few layers and I think mobility will only improve as it breaks in. Love that it doesn’t have a liner, but since I’m exchanging due to what looks like a defect, I’ll stick with the same size and hopefully they hear me about the over-spec torso. Even as is, the measurements work well
-
@WhiskeySandwich yeah. That’s the one caution with the swap, making sure you get the same outlier measurements as the copy you have in hand now.
-
@Mizmazzle id actually prefer for the specs to be more like the chart rather than what they gave me, this one is like an inch bigger from chest to opening. I cant imagine it fitting worse at this size unless it had freakishly short arms or something. Should be fine
-
@WhiskeySandwich ah I see. You’d prefer the chest to come in a bit. Well, the styling on that jacket is rad as hell. I hope you get it just how you want it holmes.
I like that it looks like a type 3 from the back but a single rider from the front.
