    Hi guys im new here had a question about my new schott perfecto 618

    U yeah ive never seen anybody else rock that jacket the way marlon did- with the extra room in the shoulders and the tapered torso. Maybe the costume designers of the movie tailored the jacket...

    Hi guys im new here had a question about my new schott perfecto 618

    I understand that the jacket will be stiff at first. But the shoulder fatigue i'm experiencing (along with a minor headache) is making me wonder if the shoulder length of the jacket is a bit too short for me (it's a quarter of an inch shorter than my actual shoulder length). Or am i having...

    Hi guys im new here had a question about my new schott perfecto 618

    I've been reading posts on this forum extensively lately, learning a lot about leather jackets. And i've seen posts where people were asking very specific questions, including things like specific measurements of their jacket of interest and comparing them to their body measurements. These...

    Hi guys im new here had a question about my new schott perfecto 618

    Ive seen lots of other posts on here where people get really specific with their questions with no kickback from other people. So i dont see how im being any different. Leather jackets are an expensive long term investment so questions and concerns should be expected and welcomed. I understand...

    Hi guys im new here had a question about my new schott perfecto 618

    On the size 44 Schott Perfecto 618 that im currently wearing, everywhere felt fine except for some shoulder fatigue. The shoulders arent saggy or too tight looking; pic attached. I thought its just because the jacket is heavy and so thats what im feeling. Then i looked at the jacket measurement...

    Hi guys im new here had a question about my new schott perfecto 618

    So so what was the problem with it in the first place? Also do u think it'll flatten over time by just wearing it?

    Hi guys im new here had a question about my new schott perfecto 618

    Hey guys so i got the size 44 (size 42 indeed was too small, thank you to all who were saying that. But of course with jackets, its something we need to figure out ourselves. And it feels much better. Only thing now is that one of the epaulets was folded when i took it out of the package. It...

    Hi guys im new here had a question about my new schott perfecto 618

    Its crazy too cuz none of this knowledge about fit with leather jackets can be gained except through ex I'm new the leather jacket game. Always wanted one since i was a little kid. Finally did my research and discovered Schott recently. Purchased a size too small on the Schott 618 because i saw...

    Hi guys im new here had a question about my new schott perfecto 618

    Maybe those pockets are easier to reach when in riding position. I guarantee that everything Schott did with those perfecto jackets were designed for functionality on a motorcycle. The style came second.

    Hi guys im new here had a question about my new schott perfecto 618

    I hear you. I think im gonna try for the next size up though for now, size 44. I tried 42 and 46 so its like goldilocks and the three bears now (Dont ask me why i didnt choose the 44 before the 46, i like to make my life as hard as possible thats why lol). i might come to realize that what you...

    Hi guys im new here had a question about my new schott perfecto 618

    Yup those stretch tests Thanks for your thoughts. I'm actually thinking of trying to swap it for the next size up (size 44). Ive been wearing the shit out of this size 42 and the shoulders just arent doing it for me- too tight. And i can feel the weight of the jacket right on my shoulders due...

    Hi guys im new here had a question about my new schott perfecto 618

    So I emailed Schott customer service about the loose stitching near the left arm sleeve hole issue that i mentioned earlier, and they said I can send it back in at anytime to have it fixed for free. I replied asking to confirm if it's okay to send it back next summer because i just want to wear...

    Hi guys im new here had a question about my new schott perfecto 618

    Yea im able to wear a hoodie underneath and zip it up. But its a bit uncomfortable. I thought these jackets were supposed to be form fitting and snug with a t shirt under and then after breaking it in, the jacket molds to your body further. I actually reaaaally like how the jacket looks on me...

    Hi guys im new here had a question about my new schott perfecto 618

    Just zipped my jacket up all the way and by doing that i've finally confirmed that the shoulders fit just right on me. It's a snug fit for sure but that's how it's supposed to be and i have enough mobility. I'm really happy that ive found this out. When i first got the jacket i was worried that...

    Hi guys im new here had a question about my new schott perfecto 618

    I'd like to keep this jacket. Once this jacket (the one im wearing) breaks in (even if it takes years), will it fit better on me meaning a bit more loose? There's a guy on youtube who does leather jacket videos and in one of his videos he said his schott 613 perfecto (which is the same cut as...

    Hi guys im new here had a question about my new schott perfecto 618

    Do you guys think this jacket is the right size for me? Im a chest size 41 and this is a size 42 schott perfecto 618 (same one ive been talking about). Its brand new not broken in yet. Been wearing and moving around in it for the last few days for hours each day. Ive heard that these jackets...

    Hi guys im new here had a question about my new schott perfecto 618

    Yeah but those issues are just sizing related im pretty sure. Waiting for it to break in to see if it indeed is too small or not.
