    Aero Alternative to Schott P613S Burgundy

    Holy cow that P613S in burgundy looks really good! I just got the schott 689HH Nov and really enjoy wearing it (yesterday rode on my z400 in 20F NY weather to work lol, about 7 miles though, visor started to ice up!). I plan to get a crosszip (steerhide and nonblack for variety) by this summer...

    What Are You Reading

    I've read alot of different stuff just starting a few years ago (from the Scarlett Letter again lol to a Street Cat Named Bob!) But recently I started reading Lee Child's jack reacher and Stephen King's Bill Hodges trilogy. Just finished the 5th jack reacher novel, echo burning, love it and...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    NY, last night at home had a Luksusowa martini, dry. Love my martinis! Always have vodka, gin and some kind of whiskey in the house and some beer. Actually I am out of whiskey but do have a handle of Hennessey VSOP (I find very delicious!)

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

    Another Schott in Shinki, this one looks good!

    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...

    My new 689H

    Yes! Thank you so much! Im gonna have to hide my wallet lol! I think a big part of the reason I was able to find a nice fit was bc of this forum and ifs many excellent posts! i hope to wear the heck out of this and post an update in the future!

    My new 689H

    Yes! It was a lot of money for me and I wanted to make sure I get the right fit. At the end of the day if I am ok with the fit and my wife is ok, we are good :) At 48 years old, I am pretty keen at what size I like. My younger self used to buy oversized stuff and I had to donate so many outfits...

    Thanks so much! Yes for sure! I ride a z400 and will use this on it too (but will also get perhaps an armored vest just for).

    My new 689H

    My first real leather jacket! Ordered this over Thanksgiving from Schott and I've tried on the 38, 36 and 34 and finally settled on the 36. Fits very well imo with room for layering. Want to give a shout out to Jerri at Schott AND the people at the NYC location on Howard street. Nothing but...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Just wanna say ordered my first real leather jacket like 10 minutes ago. I have a first manufacturing crusader jacket (with armor, size s) from last year that I wear during the winter when riding my z400. This time it's a schott 689H, size 36. I've tried it on before in the Soho store so Im...
