Old guy Schott 141 fit check pls

[Ifoundmoneyontheground]

Hello all. At 55 I finally bought my first leather riding jacket, a Scott 141. It is size 42 reg. I fear the arm length may be a bit too short for my arms in the riding position. Your comments are appreciated! PS, I do not wear Chucks and no socks when I ride, it was just so I could walk to the bike without hurting my delicate little tootsies on the gravel driveway haha.

Do the sleeves ride up less when zipped up?

No , they remain the same.

Size wise I think you nailed it. I also have a 141 (in size 42) but tend to wear it more casually than on the bike. I’m a Schott fan but think this model could be tweaked a bit to make it a better riding jacket. I’d take an inch off the body length and add one or two inches to the sleeves (more like their Perfecto jackets). Mine rides up just a bit on the bike and while the sleeves aren’t weirdly short, they could stand to be a tad longer. Riding aside, the 141 is a really nice looking jacket.

I can’t talk about functionality from a riding perspective, but from a fashion standpoint jacket looks great

I can't comment on functionality, but just in terms of regular fit it looks like a good fit to me!

Great fit, I have a 141 as well and I ride. I got the Long version and the body gets longer and the sleeves add about 2” to the standard size. In your case I believe the fit is spot on. If anything, it gives you good space for some gloves.

I agree with the other folks who say it looks great from a fit standpoint.

Your jacket looks great. I’m sure you have some nice leather gloves that will cover your wrists.

My 141 is a 42 long—so it has a longer torso and sleeves, which I prefer.
