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

[Leather&Fit]

Hello fellow leather enthusiasts,


I wanted to share my thoughts on the Schott 519 in Brown (Size L) and how it fits compared to other Schott jackets I own. Over the years, I have built a collection of Schott jackets, including:

• Schott 626 in L
• Schott 689H in 42
• Schott Perfecto 1 in M
• Schott 740C in 42
• Schott 118 in 42
• Schott 141 in 42
• Schott 570 in L
• And now, finally, my dream jacket: the Schott 519 in L (Brown, Factory Sale)

I always trusted Schott NYC’s online size guide, which worked well for my 626 in L, but unfortunately, the 519 in L turned out to be larger than expected. It has an amazing fit and finish, but I believe an M would have been a better choice for me. The cost of alterations in my area is quite high (around €400), so I’m currently figuring out the best solution.


I have started creating content on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram to help others find their perfect Schott jacket size and see how these fantastic jackets look in real life, especially since it's difficult to try them on in stores here in Germany. If anyone is interested in the Schott 519 (or any of the jackets I own), my video might be helpful:

I’d love to hear from anyone who also owns a 519—how does it compare to your other Schott jackets? And for those considering it, feel free to ask me anything about the fit, details, and differences compared to other models.


Looking forward to your thoughts!
