I was about to post this. Schott going berserk lately. Good looking jacket!

I saw this in the NYC store last time I was there (Dec 2nd). It was amazing!
BUT anyone help me understand why the back has that one vertical line? I would prefer a cleaner/flat look in the back but then again maybe there is some function/purpose to that back, my novice mind doesn't perceive. Also I would personally prefer zipper cuffs, for ease of use.
Thanks!

But, c’mon, really? You can’t post measurements. I get that doing it for this jacket would mean doing it for all of their jackets and their fit finder is pretty good, but at $1700 aren’t measurements industry standard?

It's modeled after similar aviator style backs of the time.

I agree, the thing I have noticed with some of these one-off Schott builds (like the CXL halfbelt I briefly owned) the shoulders are extremely narrow as are the sleeves. The measurements themselves wouldn't reveal that but they would be nice to have.

Any Schotts of the back?

That is a lot of zippers (5) in the front

I like the look of the lining.

It's called a box pleat and it's a functional design feature. It enhances you ability to move your arms forward.

Looks like they had a good look at this JC Penney design.

Yeah I think the handwarmers could do without them and the back should have buckles for a functional halfbelt too.

My appreciation grows! Thanks!

Thank you! The explanations here do make the back now a lot more attractive.

Yeah that's a deal breaker for me. If you design an Aviator why skip the side adjusters?

What's the deal with the back length on some of these Schott cross zips? Looks kinda long. 24" or similar works best on this style, IMO

 

[Observe]

If you email Schott they will give you the spec sheet for any style. Not sure why they don't just include it on the product page like many other retailers.

Jacket looks cool, hope someone here gets one and shares it with us.

The odd thing is their standard collection 1930s aviator has the side adjusters on the half-belt.

I disagree actually. (Though I thought so too and paid the price.) I wish I’d gone longer on my aviator. They’re double breasted like motorcycle jackets but I think in every other respect they’re more like half-belts.

Yeah, I guess when you have a 24 year old doing your web page, they don't really think of measurement charts
;-)

IMO the sizing tool on their site is more useful than a measurement list.
