I've got photos of you on my phone Mr. Proper. You were my inspiration!

I am 5' 11", 200 lbs and have a 58 year old dad shaped body. Against the recommendation of a Fedora Lounge member, I purchased an off the rack Ridley jacket in my normal sizing and it was too tight in my biceps. I could not hug myself without some pain. I sent it back with a video and some still...

The sleeve cuff fit was one of my main complaints. They ARE zipped up in the photos. It's as if there was no purpose to have zippers because of the opening size.

The body length was fine in my opinion too. It was just lacking in perfecto-tion to make it worth the price. Plain snaps, polyester lining, sleeve zips were unnecessary given the size of the cuff opening (unless you wanted to scratch your elbow).. Even the model label was affixed in a hand...

I'll call 1st thing in the morning. Thank you.

Hopefully it's a "size 44, fits like a 46"

Yes, all my Schott jackets are XL and fit differently. I mulled over the P667H for hours putting it on, taking it off, looking it over, watching a ton of YouTube videos and comparing dollars to product yesterday. I was okay the body length with and the Shinki-Hikaku leather really was very...

Thank you. I have a Duke and a Storm model by Schott also in XL. The Duke fits perfectly, the Storm is also a little long in the sleeves like this current model. Schott is always steering me to XLs. I also have a Cafe style from Thurston/Aero that I bought used in a 44, it is snug to perfect...

I'm leaning towards keeping it. The few small annoyances are silly in the overall picture.

Premium material off the rack from Schott was my first draw to it. The removable belt and no epaulets is also important. Truth be told, this in a blackened brown or teacore from Thurston Bros is my desire but I am not sure about dropping the cash on something I can't return. And the epaulets...

Still chewing on it for your very reasons given. The polyester lining is well sewn but.... it's polyester! It's not as well fitting as I hoped. It's not bad, just not over the top great either.

Agree.. Out of the box they are a smidgen too long but as the sleeves age and wrinkle, they will be perfect. The price was hard to swallow as I could have ordered an Aero with a custom fit for about the same cost. I just am a Schott addict. Wasn't sure if I could pull off a biker style but I...

I dunno, I'm liking it so far. Opinions? Tag still attached.

Super excited! I am the new owner of this. Can't wait to get it!
