Being a newbie here, I'm curious to hear what the experts think about how this Schott 641HH fits me. Any advice is appreciated.

Well, I'd say for OTR, you can't get much better! And it matches the kitchen, which might help with (if there is one) wife lol Well done.

The fit looks absolutely fine to me. Enjoy the jacket!

I agree with Andrew and Scott. The fit coudn't be much better in my view. Have fun breaking it in.

Agreed - fit looks spot on. Forget OTR - custom might not fit you better. Are you using for riding? If it's comfortable when you're on the bike you have a winner.

Is that the arm length or do you have some extra if you unzip them? I've got a similar jacket, action back / canted sleeve, and the sleeves don't pull at all when I ride or drive and the shoulders stay in place. I went about an inch longer than you in the sleeves, so they hit the top of my knuckle, expecting them to pull when I raised my arms and it wasn't needed. They hit about the same spot as yours when they're zipped. Do you have a similar experience in the Schott? Cheers

Very good fit indeed. Wait till when it's broken in, it will look even better!

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Looks good..!

Welcome to the Lounge JJ. If it feels good while riding, I don't think you could do any better. Looks like there is enough extra material in the arms that the sleeves won't pull up when you reach for the bars.

There's some extra room in the sleeves when unzipped, but they don't go all the way to my knuckles. I usually wear gauntlet gloves, which can be a problem if the sleeves are too long.

Good fit Johnny (I know it's the first time you heard this) Seriously man, it looks great on you. That's the horsehide right?
Welcome to the Lounge!

Coffee, yes it's the horsehide.

Great looking jacket and perfect fit. Consider yourself lucky...You could spend a lot of time and money trying to achieve that fit even going the custom route. Enjoy wearing and post pics in a few months when it's breaking in.

PERFECT FIT! I assure you, wear it with pride. I own the same model with the zip-out liner and it is an awesome jacket.

 

[Cooperson]

JohnnyJazz did you see a serial number tag in any of the pockets? Mine dosen't seams to have one!? I have the 641HH with zip out liner.
