FS: Schott 125 size 40

[Arnold]

Finally found a size 38 in good condition so I can let go of this one. Has been worn on about 90 days net in mostly mild weather. I won't lie and call it "mint" or "like new", because in my opinion no leather jacket is like new from the moment someone bends their arms in it a single time. It is in very good condition tho and "still quite fresh". No obvious scratches, no tears, no fading (it was hardly ever worn in rain or heat), all zippers and pockets intact, complete with zip-in liner. See photo. (I'll add more photos later on)

Asking €250 plus S&H. Will ship worldwide, personal pickup in Germany is also possible (send a PM for location).

Measurements would be greatly appreciated.

Off the top of my hat: pit to pit 54 cm, waist/ hem 47 cm (with side lacing fully tightened, otherwise wider), sleeve length 63 cm, but I'm not a pro at measuring. Photos tomorrow. Thanks for your interest.

First of two sets of photos... camera isn't the best so I took several closeups. Measuring stick is in centimeters. Perspective distorts a little. Go with the numbers I posted yesterday. Right sleeve is about 8 millimeters longer than left (62.5 vs 63.3 with my measuring method), and collar is slightly asymmetrical - both quite within normal tolerances for a Schott jacket (judging from the three I've had) and are not really noticed in use. I'm just being pedantic. Finally keep in mind the zip-in pile liner is quite thick, maybe thicker than the usual quilted lining. If the jacket is a little tight with the liner applied, it will be very comfortable with the liner removed, albeit not as warm.
The liner provides incredible warmth, even if the jacket is not closed. The 125 has been my favorite for deep winter for 12 years (not this specimen of course).

Not available from Schott anymore.

Weekend bump...

The 125 is hard to find in good condition and complete with the liner. The only Schott jacket left with the same styling & leather quality, the 118, costs $825 new, and then you don't get to use your own belt.
