I'm admitting defeat. I bought these boots new from JK in WA, had them shipped to a friend who lugged them over to Europe for me, wore them for 2 weeks and finally had to admit... They're too big for me. I wear a 42 EU so I'd guess they'd be ideal for a 43 or 44? I'd suggest going on the JK...

AH so the oil should go on the nipples... Ok I'll let you know how it goes!

Oh that;s tempting...

Thanks for all the helpful, and also unhelpful, responses. I'm sending it back soon anyway because of a zipper failure so I did write them about this as well. That was only yesterday though, haven't heard back. I did wonder if it was possible to simply sew a tiny bit of thick but soft material...

A few months ago I bought my first new leather jacket, an Aero Leather Sheene. The jacket is great and I'm very happy with it except for one small thing. When I wear it open with thin shirts the edges of the inside pockets line up exactly at my nipples and rub them in a very annoying way. I...

Just checked post prices at the local post office. TO USA 49 euros Canada 65 euros Germany 16 euros (which I'm assuming means the EU generally)

Hey Willy, For me it's loose. But I think this model is sized a bit for bigger guys anyway. It's hard to tell, it's about two sizes big for me in general...

These are the measurements: length 67 cm / 26.4 in chest 58 / 22.8 hem base 54 / 21.25 sleeve 63 / 24.8

This is a beautiful horse hide Schott jacket, 689H size 44. I picked up this jacket a while ago and it just doesn't fit. I think I'm probably a 40 in Schott sizes, despite what their online guide told me.... It's in great shape except for some reason the previous owner cut the buckles off the...

Ok, good to know. So that would be like a 689 42. You know how that would compare to an Aero Sheene 40 or 42?

Yep, I checked the website of the store I was at and that's the only cafe racer Schott they have.

OK, I checked the website. It was the 141.

So today I had a very brief chance to try on a Schott Cafe Racer in 40, not sure what model exactly. That seemed a much better fit. I didn't have time, but I wonder if the 38 might have even fit... So I was way off thinking I'd fit a 44. But, at least I barely spent any money on it. My plan at...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I'm going to fix it and sell it. And in the meantime I'm shopping for another jacket. Can anyone recommend a similar style jacket with a much slimmer profile?

Thanks I appreciate that feedback.
