Some squeak, some do not, most do to some extent. Some I've owned with 20+ years and little wear - seem to squeak the worst. I would reach out to Dena at Great Leather, see if there is a produc she reccommends to "hydrate" your squeaking jacket a bit more thoroughly...
Oh, hey that changes things....
I'm a Size 42 / Size 44 in CR's from Aero. I would reccommend to E-maiil Direclty to Aero (Holly or Denny) and they can help you out. These are Slim-fitting jackets ith a pretty noticable taper in the Body (2 and 4-pocket Cafe Racers) The Board Racer is more...

I went back and re-read your first post. I did not see actual motorcycle useage listed in it. No critisim here, but that would have influenced my vote toward Schott. Haveing owned and worn all manner of jackets and makers, Schott is an excellent choice for those who actually ride. You will...
^^ These comments are exactly why I ordered both my Ridley & Indian Ranger through Carrie and Thurston Brothers.
If you want a visual on this, scroll down in this thread on Page 1323 - https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/what-jacket-are-you-wearing-today.82949/page-1323
I have a CXL FQHH Indian Ranger on order through Thurston Brothers, shoud see if by Janurary. I would do that if you decide it's the best choice for you.
Nothing wrong with the Shott at all, just not my preferance.
This is a really important comment to keep in mind. Having handled & tried on an original A2 from WWII, full patina, torn cuffs, etc, it was still keeping going but it really was just that - a quickly/cheaply made goatskin jacket with the bare minimum of features and "fancies". Simple cotton...
This is a very good point Marc - even Horween has to be stretched to near limit these days the sheer number of boot, belt, wallet, purse, football, baseball glove and jacket manufacturers, to only name a few, that are using thier products. Products that, by nature of thier processes and...
Well I will sure say this: If Schott's marketing department is not reading this thread - they are missing out on some very valuable feedback, from customers and prospective customer's both.
It is very difficult to get good, solid, useful feedback on products. One would think the Internet...
I did a review of these yesturday in the "General" section - which seems much less responsive of a forum over there:

My feet run slightly narrow and as indicated, the pair of Wesco Mr. Lou's I tried...
Such great boots! I have tried this model in 12D and the toe-box was just a little too low for my feet to be comfortable with. GLWS - a steal for the asking price. :)
