SH I think will be really nice with a lot of wears. After a couple times getting wet and maybe 50 wears most of the top coat settles down and it starts to soften up. At about 75 wears I'm getting some really nice sleeve creases and tight grain patterns in certain areas. Coin pocket for one...
Tom, if you're just looking for Schott Perfecto, my strong suggestion to you is 118 size 40 (equivalent to a "43" SH). I had to shrink mine down about a half size or even more, so I think a stock 40 will fit you great. A little extra length, a little extra width in the shoulders than the...
Bravestar yesterday. Modern update of 101j. Touch long i think. The original is a touch short for my height and preference. The search continues but I still like this one.
In the SH, my instinct is you're a 42 for a snug more rocker look. Still comfortable, but not a lot of room for error. 44 will definitely allow you to layer, but I think it's going to be too big for you. It's a pain with Schott. It's either lanky vegan dudes or beer belly bods. The SH is...
I tried a medium in the store a few months back and it fit pretty much what I wanted. I'll double check the size chart though just in case. I'm tempted to put in a bid to see what the reserve price is. If I can get it for like $200s, jeez, I'll tuck it away for one of my sons down the road...
I like Vanson a lot especially at the price point. But I think if you don't ride, there's so called better options for more of a fashion vibe. The two styles you noted if i recall correctly are cross zips, probably no belt and or epaulettes right?
If you want to stay in the Vanson family, see...
yep, finally they make one that has 1) removable belt and 2) sizing that hits the 22.5 ptp mark instead of the usual 22, 23,24 etc. I'm always stuck in between sizing or by chance if they have a ptp that fits then the shoulder is something crazy. But for a large to be that trim (especially...
If I could lose a couple ribs, I'd pay the full $400 for it. Not sure what the reserve is, but definitely worth a bid if it fits. That side seam is easily fixed with needle and thread.

I've seen a lot of his videos on youtube. No doubt, extremely knowledgeable and passionate about jackets. Definitely would love to have a beer with him one day.
Running a business though is hard and it's really hard when it's something you're passionate about because when things go bad, it...
that is strange about that last shot. Your 27 sits a good inch above that Schott 26, and you're a couple inches shorter than the model. Maybe it's a posture thing? Pants sagging? IDK. That model is probably vegan and never seen a gym in his life, so I doubt he has the traps you do LOL
I've...
agreed, touching the back pocket (or mid butt area) is getting too close to a bit too far even for my tastes for this particular style. But I guess I have a little more leeway for what's acceptable range. This stuff isn't life or death for me so it's more about what feels right, what is...
Good visual comparison. For how you like to wear your jackets, looks like just barely covering your belt line, you've found your range. No arguments from me there.
What i would argue is saying "26" is wrong. There's way too many factors. How tall you are? How that height is distributed...
there's usually no front drop on the perfecto style from Schott. So maybe people are used to seeing 24-25ish with a 1 or 2 inch drop. My Thedi for instance has a monster drop, I think 3 inches. I just double checked a bunch of my jackets and most are 25+. In fact, many of the ones I loved...
26 inch is long? I must be doing something wrong then. I understand for riding there's issues going longer, but for fashion at 6'0, I find 26 to be perfect length for me. Most of the aero jackets on Thurston Bros are 26+
you beat me to it. Was just going to post. Not sure how I feel about a split back for that kind of money, but everything else looks fire. Love the removable belt. Been asking for that for years from Schott. Wish they would have upgraded the hardware and liner as well.
