    The Deck Jacket thread.

    I have the Iron Heart as well, and I really like it a lot. However, it is a trim fit. I'm usually an XL in coats, or a 46 with wide shoulders and narrow waist. With the IH I had to size up to a XXL in the N1, but the fit is spot on for what I like in a coat. Other than that it's pretty much as...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Yep it was cold for a week or two here in Calgary but it’s warmer now - only -15 or so. Was a little colder just north of us in Edmonton though as they were about -43 to our -38. Way too cold for most leather unless you have a giant shearling parka or something.

    Schott PER70 Perfecto Review

    Thanks for the review! I thought about getting this at one point but wasn't sure about the distressing and if it was overdone or not. After reading your review now I want one too!

    Let's talk about Deck Jackets (my grail has landed)

    I have an Ironheart in a XXL that fit's perfectly for me. I'm usually a 46 in most of my jackets, I find my leather Ironheart trucker in an XL fits very trim. The deck jacket fits great, it's just that it's a pretty warm coat so unless the weather is below freezing I don't really wear it.

    Schott x Shinki Jacket

    I wasn't aware of that. It's nice for sure, but if I compare the two coats the IronHeart is so much more comfortable it's not even funny. I like the Schott, and they're both supposed to be Shinki - but it's not the same that's for sure. However, if it ends up feeling like the Ironheart I may...

    Schott x Shinki Jacket

    I'll echo others here, I'd also send that back. Not sure if they can repair it or not? Replacement seems unlikely given that they all seem sold out. I don't mind my XL so far, although my only issue is the fit in the waist is a little large. If I cinch up the buckles it's fine, but I don't...

    Schott x Shinki Jacket

    Exactly this. It's brand new out of the box so it just needs to be worn in before it has a nice fit to it. I find nothing wrong with it so far and it's right in line with my expectations so I don't have any issue with it at all so far.

    Schott x Shinki Jacket

    The website description said vegetable tanned, I’ll wear it a bit and see how it breaks in. It’s pretty cold here now, but I definitely have a little room to layer a bit underneath which is nice and will allow for a few more wearability options. I’m 6’0 and 215 lbs for reference with a 46 for...

    Schott x Shinki Jacket

    Here it is against my Iron Heart: And front and back: From the back it looks too big, but it seems to be just the picture as the sleeves are just the right length for my arms. As I suspected if anything it's larger in the waist area which is typical whenever I get XL. I take almost...

    Schott x Shinki Jacket

    All right so I just received mine via FedEx. First thoughts: - wow whoever handles shipping is really on it and I need to hire them to run my shipping dept. I received this right away with no issues whatsoever and I'm impressed by how fast it arrived. - I'm no expert on stitching and...

    Schott x Shinki Jacket

    I picked up an XL version, I was looking for something similar so thought sure why not when I got the email. I'll compare it with my Ironheart IHJ-54 when I receive it, which is my only other leather coat (which I really like).

    FS: Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket Whiskey Steerhide XXL 46

    I know, just saying that's all their website says is all. I posted the pic to make it a little easier for most of us when we think of sizing - not sure which is the standard way to measure sizes. Wish there was just one way, sort of like when I try to get shoes from Viberg but their size 10...

    FS: Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket Whiskey Steerhide XXL 46

    I believe the 37.5 inch sleeve is not the measurement from the shoulder seam, but from the middle higher up. I measured it from the seam and it's about 28.5

    FS: Schott x 3Sixteen Jacket XL

    Are you still looking for a large in this? I just bought one off another forum member and it just arrived, but the large is too small for me so I'm reselling it as I can't wear it.
