Schott Fit Check - Help Me Pick!

[bb115505]

Hey all! First post and first real leather jacket. I’m having a hard time deciding between these two options, which are both fantastic in different ways.

Choices are the Schott 550 cafe racer and the Schott p673 Storm.

I don’t ride, but I love the look of the cafe racer. It’s definitely a little outside of my style (I’m a little more on the modest/reserved spectrum of things) so a bit self conscious to go with this one. Not sure if it’s “me.”

The p673 is more of my style but feels “safe” if that makes sense. Love this one too, but it’s stylistically very similar to a few other jackets I currently own. It’s not really edgy or pushing me into something different and unique.

Thoughts or opinions between these two?

I find the Cafe Racer a little long for this style. A bit hard to judge with your shirt untucked and the angle of the photo.

The 673 is really nice. Color is great.

I hear you re bold/safe style, but that’s really for you to decide. Shame if the jacket would turn into a closet queen because you don’t feel right in it. Personally, I always feel that even visually loud pieces will be “you” if you just get used to it. Others don’t notice so much.

Nice fit on the p673, cafe racer looks a bit too long but that's a matter of preference sometimes

Cafe racer suits you very well. He doesn't look cocky and therefore shows your humble nature. Wear it and have fun

That brown nubuck leather seems amazing.

I think cafe racers are tame unassuming jacket, every person in any style can wear it without creating any connotation, however I don't like the wind flap on this one, the other jacket is nicer, and it you pop up the collar it would get a little flair too, perhaps looking bolder than a brown cafe racer could ever be

Definitely the Schott p673 Storm

It's all been said. I agree completely with @mumpy and @Tom71 .

The 673 looks absolutely spot on.

If you want to enlarge a similar 673 style in your closet, you can listen to more opinions. But I'd turn off the main road.
