Thanks Monitor! I'm sure it's going to age beautifully with me and I see myself wearing this for many years ahead.
I need more time to form an overall opinion/review, but so far I'm very impressed with the quality and fit of this Schott.
Loose grain in chromexcel is very common. If you're into goodyear welted boots/shoes you'll find it can happen on the shaft of a boot or even on the vamp, which is less desirable of course because that's the most obvious visible location. I would try to avoid it on a vamp of a shoe/boot, but a...
My eBay 613H came in. It's been lightly used with good grain showing so far, but still has a lot of breaking in to do to get it to mold to my body and drape better. I think it's a great fit to start though even if it's on the shorter side as it was custom 1" shorter than stock. I think I can...
Awesome jacket. I know I've had my fair share of splurging lately too. I can't count the amount of jackets on one hand I have bought in 2020...
Show us some pics of the unlined inside if you could. I'm interested in seeing that.
I'm asking for the XL measurements as well, but the L is pretty spot on to a few jackets I already own.
This is canvas mostly and canvas should break in and stretch a bit. I'm looking for a fitted look I would say. Nothing long and oversized; I have jackets for that already. Of course, I...
Theodoros got back to me with these measurements for his size Large:
chest 56cm. armpit to armpit (22 ").
waist, 53 cm navel height (21 ")
foot, 52 cm (20.5 ")
Rear length, 60cm. (23.5 ")
Shoulders, 47cm (18.5 ")
long 66cm. (26 ") can be shortened
So yes, the sleeves might be a tad long for...
I appreciate the help guys. I'm going to ask Thedi for some sizing/dimensions. I am a size 42, 5'10", 195 lbs, 42" chest, 36" waist, 18.5" shoulders.
So I suppose I'm either a Large or maybe need to get a custom size made.
A Bates for the very tall guys.

I'm jealous. Were you on the original order for this jacket or is this something he is still making? I tried to get in touch with Thedi a couple of times, but I've never gotten a response if this jacket is still orderable.
I need to have one eventually.
Gorgeous jacket here! Someone will jump on this and make them very happy. I would if A) I hadn't already just purchased an August in the same battered tan and B) if it was bigger in the shoulders and chest by an inch or so, basically one size up.
Good luck with the sale!
