Flat Head Single Rider's HS005. I'm 6' 195lbs. Size 44. Would love any thoughts/opinions on the fit. I think I hit it pretty well?

Looks spot on to me! I have this exact same jacket (which I posted pics of yesterday) and love it. For me the pattern of this model is perfect, Flat Head doesn't get enough credit for how well their patterning is, they're way ahead of most other Japanese brands in this regard.

Would be great to get opinions on fit for this 654VN Schott jacket - still in return window.

Hello friends

Could you check the pics out and provide an opinion on the fit?
Jacket - Schott 654VN, black. Size S.
My stats: 140lb, 5'9", Chest 38", Waist at narrowest - 27"

Thanks!
The shoulders of this jacket take on a strange shape.
I think you should return the jacket and try something else.

Thanks. The shoulder has horns because the jacket was shipped in a FedEx box with hangers. How about the rest of the fit? Attaching another pic.

Otherwise it looks good. The only thing is that for some reason the right sleeve looks shorter than the left one,
Thanks a lot for your help. I measured the sleeves, they are the same length. Maybe posture or the white tee - the sleeve of the tee was unevenly pulled making it protrude more from one side.

If you like the jacket and it doesn't cause discomfort, wear it. The jacket looks good on you.

Hello,

This is my first real leather jacket and I was hoping to get some feedback on the fit.
My main concern is this folding going on at elbow level, is it caused by excess material? Or it will even out with wear?

Thanks!

I would say it’s mainly caused by the sleeve zippers and the slim forearms of the sleeve. Try loosening the zippers 1/4-1/3 of the way to see if that helps. It might not though, just because the zippers go so high and the elbow has more material than the forearms.

Fit looks nice otherwise!

Thanks for the input marker2037, much appreciated.
It looks the same with the forearms zippers open, I'm trying to ignore this but I keep finding myself thinking about it. Kinda annoying.

The jacket fits perfectly. The pleats on the sleeves will remain, but they look very cool.

Does it fit right? I’m uncertain. It’s a 46 and I’m wearing a Red tucked in T Shirt under it. I’m 5’10” and just had a big dinner so stomach a bit full ;)
