Schott Leather Goods

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.
-
Yea, I love the fit and feel of it, so I'll keep it for now. I'll keep an eye out for a used 626 or something with a longer body. This tee is a little longer since it has the curved hem. Most of my tees are like this (Buck Mason curved hem slub tee).

@chrisjohnnick i think it looks great dude. I had to get used to the length of my schott also but I love this one on you with the shirt untucked

Whats everyone’s take on the quality of Schott Leather jackets? I’m starting the hunt for my first leather jacket. Trying to get a feel for the quality of some of the makers out there. I know there are much higher end makers, but Schott has been around that’s for sure. So any insights on Schott would be welcome.

SchottI think in many ways Schott makes a good product.
Each brand has plusses and minuses. I suppose the question is what do you prioritize in a jacket? Custom measurements, leather options, style options, perfect stitching, customer experience…..
I suppose for you the reason I would advocate FOR Schott is that the have many designs ready made. You can order a few, try them on and see what works for you IRL. While companies like Aero make a good custom product, for your first time out before handling different hides and learning what #s work for you (leather drapes less and doesn’t give), it may not be wise to design a jacket, wait 3 months, and then be dissatisfied sith the results. You then get to sell it for (if your lucky) 66% of new. I’d either buy from an OTR OR THE ROBUST 2nd hand market. -
I really like Schott jackets but , unfortunately, I don't fit well into their Large or Xl. I've got longer arms and their jacket sleeves tend to be a bit on the shorter side. Their models that are sized in 40, 42, 44 etc can be ordered in "long" sizes which is great. Unfortunately, only a few models are made now in those sizes. I think for the price, they are great jackets and I wish I could fit into them as there are lots of great ones on the 2nd hand market.

Found time to visit their Canal Street store when I was in New York (no time for Self Edge sadly). I went in set on buying a 613, but it barely reached my navel. Luckily 118L fit better

I was at Schott yesterday and found this beauty. Reminded me of the MRMF. Made with Horween CXL. I’ve never been a double rider guy, but I can’t get this one out of my head.
Curious if anyone bought it, and has broken it in?
-
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?
