Ok, so here's the story on this jacket. Apparently it was made for a Schott X True Religion collaboration that for whatever reason ended up not happening. I included a link to the Schott Forum where they confirm this.

https://www.schottnyc.com/forum/posts/authenticity_check_3.htm

They Schott representative states that only sample prototypes were made in 2012 and never went past that stage. She compares it to the #660 in style and lining, BUT I think the style is more in line with the Restoration Hardware jacket. It has a one piece back with no seam, no hand warmer pockets, and the front bottom fans out instead of straight down. I purchased this in HIGH HOPES that it would fit, but it's too tight and short. I am hoping this sells so I can use the funds to buy Monitor's jacket. HELP FUND MY PURCHASE of MONITOR'S Cafe RACER!!! :)

Here are the measurements taken to the best of my ability while the jacket is zipped up and laying flat:
Pit to Pit: 21 inches
Shoulder seam to shoulder seam: 17 inches
Back length from collar seam to end of jacket NOT including collar: 25.5 inches
Arm length from shoulder seam to end of sleeve: 27 inches (please see picture for how I measured)

Asking $550.00 for what could be a one of kind jacket!

Beautiful jacket...and it does have a lot of similarities to my Restoration Hardware/Schott cafe racer. The hide looks similar- and these hides were amazing in having a very distinctive coloration, suppleness and a soft, worn, vintage hand. Also, the absence of gussets on the back is very similar to my RH. About the only difference that I can see is that the body looks slightly longer. And actually having a lining- a big advantage over the Restoration Hardware jackets, IMHO. This would be a total score for anyone looking to own a truly unique and very wearable Schott cafe racer!
