Hey all,
After many purchased and returned jackets I believe I've found the one that will take me into riding season this year. The 618HH arrived today and it's beautiful. The horsehide is amazing, check out the shot below of the arm which shows the creasing after a few minutes of wear, just stunning. I've had a 118 in cowhide and a 613 in steerhide also, neither compares to the quality of the horsehide Schott uses. Beautiful texture.
The jacket fits great, and if you're considering ordering one please feel free to reach out as I had a tough time deciding on a size but in all my purchases and returns I think I've learned a thing or two about how to size these jackets and would be happy to lend advice to anyone interested. Also thanks to Monitor specifically, for answering a few PM's I had sent in my trying to find the right jacket. This forum is the bomb. Enjoy the pics.
EDIT: Hate the way this site rotates iPhone images so I made an album for them here instead http://imgur.com/a/3f9wq
PS: The collar I had purchased back when I owned a 118 and has been collecting dust since then. So happy to see it back on a jacket again and to anyone who owns a perfecto, rides a motorcycle, and hasn't tried the collar yet. Do yourself a favor.
