    My Schott 519 in Brown – Thoughts, Fit, and My Growing Collection

    Thanks for your thoughts! I totally get where you're coming from – but in this case, it actually worked out really well after the small alteration. Here’s the update if you’re curious: I'm genuinely happy with it now and glad I didn’t sell it.

    My Schott 519 in Brown – Thoughts, Fit, and My Growing Collection

    Hahaha of course not! I kept the tags on at first because I was considering selling it if it didn’t work out. But after getting it tailored and finally being happy with the fit, the tags are off now! ✂️

    My Schott 519 in Brown – Thoughts, Fit, and My Growing Collection

    Hey, thanks for your input! Actually, it was definitely worth it for me – I had it professionally tailored and the result turned out great! Here’s the update if you’re curious: Sometimes it’s worth giving a great jacket a second chance instead of selling it.

    My Leather Jacket Journey – Schott 626, 689H, 118 & Perf1 Fit Talk

    Hi! Thanks for your question. Yes, the 626 is noticeably lighter compared to the 118, 519, 141 or the 689H. The leather is thinner, the lining is lighter, and overall it's much more comfortable for spring and mild summer evenings. It still offers some warmth, but it's definitely less bulky and...

    My Schott 519 in Brown – Thoughts, Fit, and My Growing Collection

    Thanks for your perspective — I’ll definitely share an updated video once the jacket comes back from the tailor. I’m genuinely curious myself to see how the changes affect the fit. Since most of my jackets in size L fit very well, I assumed the same would apply here. Turns out the 519 fits...

    My Schott 519 in Brown – Thoughts, Fit, and My Growing Collection

    Appreciate the feedback — and no worries, the jacket's already with a tailor getting those sleeves and the body cleaned up. I’m not trying to be an influencer, just a guy who loves leather jackets and wants to share real-world fit pics to help others out. Funny how even that can spark...

    My Schott 519 in Brown – Thoughts, Fit, and My Growing Collection

    I appreciate the feedback! I see what you mean about the first few minutes – I wanted to highlight the details of the jacket, but I get that it might be too much for some viewers. I’ll definitely keep that in mind for future videos and focus more on spoken commentary. As for the length, I made...

    Interesting take. I’m just sharing my experience and what works for me, which is exactly what everyone else here does. If that’s 'free research' for my channels, then I guess every discussion in this forum is free research for someone. But hey, thanks for your input!

    My Schott 519 in Brown – Thoughts, Fit, and My Growing Collection

    "Thank you for the detailed breakdown, I really appreciate the insight! I’m aware that the 519 follows the 613S pattern, but my experience with different Schott jackets has shown me that fit can sometimes be unpredictable depending on the specific model, leather, and how it breaks in over time...

    "Thank you! The leather on this one is indeed fantastic. I also thought the 519 had been shortened, but this one does seem a bit longer than expected. It could be due to slight variations in production or just how it fits on my frame. Either way, I’m really happy with how it looks and feels!"
