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

    You think a replacement would be better than just having it fixed? Would having it fixed weaken the sleeve and make it more probable of the stitches coming loose again in the future?

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

    I'm in the same boat where my jacket is snug in the shoulders but doesn't restrict movement at all. The shoulders feel comfortable when in riding position but when standing up and walking around, the shoulders feel rather tight but still i have full range of movement. Definitely looking forward...

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

    Also one other thing: after a couple days of wearing the size 42 for most of the day each day, i noticed some loose stitching near the left sleeve opening (photo attached). There's no hole though thankfully. I didn't inspect the jacket after first receiving it in the mail because i just trusted...

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

    Sounds good man. Have the shoulders in the size 44 loosened up any since you started wearing it? Do you think the shoulders will loosen up and become more comfortable later on down the road? Or do you just plan on only riding in the size 44?

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

    Yeah the size 42 seems right for me. Did you find that your sleeve length became significantly shorter as your jacket broke in and arm creases developed? Also do you think that if the shoulders on a new perfecto 618 feel a little tight but they end at the proper area meaning right where the...

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

    I he I hear you. I think im gonna wear the size 42 instead of the size 46 and the problem with the seams (if it was even a problem) was for the size 46. So im not gonna post pics.

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

    I hear you. Ive chosen to go with the size 42 instead of the size 46 because of the lower hanging armpits on the size 46. The size 42 armpits are higher up more closely hugging my armpits and i realize thats how its supposed to fit. Im a chest size 41 and im wearing a size 42. The shoulders are...

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

    Thanks for responding! Yes i saw originally that the thread was deeply imbedded into the seams of this jacket, which like you said is normal for tighter fitting jackets like the Perfecto 618 is. I ordered a size larger than the recommended sizing up one size recommendation that Schott gives, so...

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

    Yes i ordered 2 sizes up actually, direct from Schott HQ. It's just the stiff leather and rigidity of a new heavy leather jacket made me instinctively try to do some stretch movements when wearing the jacket. And then i noticed the stitch holes in between the seams of the big swing back area...

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

    i don't think i'm gonna post pics it'll just make me more anal. i've already pulled the tags off the jacket so can't return it or exchange it now. Just gonna wear it now. Thanks for responding!

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

    Thank you for your response. I don't wanna take pics and post because i'm just gonna get anal about it when i just wanna wear the damn thing now and break it in and not think about it anymore. I guess thats my answer- that it's not a big deal enough to take pics. i don't want to exchange it and...

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

    So its my first time buying a leather jacket. I found my right size but was not used to the stiffness of the heavy steer hide. Was trying a few of the jacket tests like the hug test etc. i really moved my arms around in ways that was straining the jacket. I wasnt trying to damage the jacket i...
