The leather really looks like the thinner version of LW.Just a quick pic before the Browns kick off. Already almost dry. Just a little damp. View attachment 267491 View attachment 267491

There is a 42 on ebay right now I am drooling over. I think I need a 44. I’m a Schott novice and their sizing is all over the place. 40s that fit like 44. 42s like 46. 42s like 42. Drives me crazy.
Me too!It's the only jacket I wish I had a collection of.
Plus, it’s an effin Perfecto. Everyone should have one or two in their collection.
My secret is walking around with a face that screams I will murder you and your entire family!!
Definitely thinner for sure, but I am not sure about the word much.And their HH while much thinner than LW or Vanson
I respectfully disagree. Thick "enough" leather, FULL action back, underarm footballs, #10 main zip, shorter front length, longer back length, and longer arms. I wear it in the 40's and 50's with no cold drafts to speak of.I get it, they aren’t really riding jackets,
well my point on riding jacket is more none of these are truly@dannyk, I agree with almost everything you said. You are on the money. Except for a few things.

Let's not forget the "rock/punk" aspect of the perfecto. These are the jackets you put pins and patches on, not a $2000 Japanese repo. These jackets kick even more ass when they are personalized. I would love to see some more pics of jackets like @dannyk. That's how you rock a 618!
And @Monitor is right, why spend the big bucks on a repo when you can get the real thing and beat the $hit out of it.

I’m going to make a post about it when they arrive. But I’ll do a leaked version ahead of its scheduled release haha. But damn I have to give so much love and credit to Schotts Customer Service. Jerri is fucking amazing. Excuse the language. So since for the time being I have no 613, just my 618. Which I bought so I could have a collar. I’ve been thinking about adding stars. I can’t make up my mind if I want traditional silver or black. Want to mix it up and keep it punk rock. But I’m torn. I also have my 90s Vanson. I saw someone on grailed post a super similar jacket but they had gold/brass stars on it. I emailed Vanson and they said they didn’t make it with stars and don’t have any. So I email Jerri and explain all this to her. She says well we have silver, brass, black and antique brass. I asked for pictures and they said we don’t have any unfortunately. So I said can I send you pictures of my jackets and get your opinion. Jerri said they couldn’t make up their mind between silver and black either, but did say their antique brass matches the brass on my Vanson best. So they are sending me pairs of Silver, Black, and Antique Brass Stars, free of charge, not even shipping costs. Not to mention I emailed Tuesday evening everything was finalized Wednesday afternoon. When they arrive Im going to post my thanks to Schotts amazing service and do a poll silver or black?We need more pics of your jacket as it breaks in and gets more pins. I think the shiny leather and hardware give it the ultimate rock 'n roll edge/attitude.
I want P613s black so bad
I might enocurage you to get on the Schott forums and ask the tag question. It's a curious thing to me...

Got a thread going on my stats Roadking. Check it out.^ I vote silver all the way. Just my opinion. I thought about getting the stars for my 618 also. I have to see where my weight takes me(hopefully not back up). I might get a 44 if I can hold this weight. I would get the stars and a snap for the buckle. Then send it to Dena for some customizing.
I just received this jacket today and I am pretty sure it will be a decent overall riding jacket. The leather is about 3.5 oz and comfortable. No pocket on the inside but the outside pockets will do for the wallet and phone. The lining should be just about perfect for Tennessee weather so no issue there. Generally speaking it's not bad. Now to trying to get back to skinny so those LW's will get more use!
A belt snap would be nice.Perfect fit Hog!! Looks spot on for you. I think you will be pleasantly surprised how well these work as actual riding jackets. It should keep the cool mountain drafts out. The Schott 618/613 is the "blue collar worker" of riding jackets. They get the job done. I have yet to try the steer. Once my weight settles and I get the proper fitting 618, I am thinking about sending it out to Dena and get some "useable" inside pockets installed, a belt snap, and probably some stars put on. That would hopefully supe-up the 618 a bit.
