As a Perfecto wearing, Triumph riding old rocker, I really like the look of a well decorated jacket. I’m not going to sacrifice my 613sh, but have been looking for a good older 613 or 618 for the project. I’ve collected a good selection of patches, studs and pins! I don’t think my current sewing...
I think with a little tone up around the middle, your jacket would fit perfect. Nothing like a slightly snug new leather to help renew your fitness goals.
I really like the 642 and 643 patterns and prefer the look of the silver hardware over the bronze on the 689. I’m wearing a 44 in most...
My size 44 jacket is probably about a year old. I do wear it riding a motorcycle so it may get a little extra work in the shoulders and arms. The bicep measurement that I gave of at least 16 inches was done on the outside of the jacket (across the bicep part of the sleeve x2). Perhaps Jerri’s...
Of all the Schott jackets that I’ve had, the 613sh has the best sleeves! Plenty of length, trim fit that kind of shows off the guns without being weirdly tight. Maybe 16-16.5 inches at the bicep on a size 44 if I’m measuring correctly.
Schott masterpiece from Japan. Wish there were measurement pics. They’re listed but seem pretty small. 20.2 P2P?

The crosszip is timeless and has worked in every decade since its inception. Everyone from the 1950’s rockers to the punks, metalheads, bikers etc. has looked cool wearing one. It’s the king of the leather jackets. No need to overthink this one. Just get the Schott model that suits your needs...

I don‘t really cross post on here but thought I’d share this one because it‘s inexpensive and kind of cool. Tagged 44 but unfortunately a little too snug. I have to stop buying these jackets lol. Anyway, here’s the link. https://www.ebay.com/itm/335231898688
If I end up liking the collar, I’m going to send my 613sh in for the Aloysius treatment and get some snaps. I hadn’t thought of this until I saw your earlier post about it.
Jacket looks good! To extend the wearing season, you could order one of their custom mouton collars. They are available in brown or black and snap right onto the 618 model...pretty warm and cozy and kind of give the Perfecto a bit of a bomber look (with a better fit). They also have an off the...
You look great in that jacket! Wear it out running a few errands so you can start getting comfortable with it on. A beautiful jacket like this will soon become a source of confidence and another good reason to stay in shape. Nice score!
