@Tom71, no need to say sorry! Thanks a lot for your help! You know how, when dealing with something new, the smallest thing can be tricky? This is how I feel right now :) Two questions. First question, measuring the jacket "chest width", with the jacket fully buttoned / zipped up and laying...

Well, the jacket I would use is lightly padded, I would say? It basically has a "sewn in" (not removable) artificial wool layer on the inside. I was thinking it could make it similar to how the Schott jacket is with the internal wool layer (boa) in place. Thanks a lot for the hints, will check...

I got the jacket measurements, and I have a winter, slightly padded, fabric jacket, in a similar style, slim fit, that I love the fit of, and fits me like a glove. Now I have to understand how to read the jacket measurements :D Some things seem easy, but for others, it's time to google. sweep...

Yeah, unfortunately, I really don't have somebody that can measure me at the moment :( -Then, when the fit guide asks for the chest measure, should "I" add the potential extra volume for clothing? -Or they already consider that clearly not many people are going to put a jacket on, without...

Hello All, I was initially looking at the 530, but the second hand market has many more options for the 141 and 641. My next issue is finding the correct size. I am in the UK and the only sellers are online, both for new or second hand jackets. Using the official fit guide it seems that I am...

Just to add I did measure myself for the chest size, just not 100% sure I did it correctly. Also looking at size 36 on the usual sites doesn't give me much more luck.

It really depends on how accurate the chest size I typed is (my apologies, I am quite new to this!). I am not really sure it's 100% precise, and I am basing it mostly on other garnments I have and how the fit me. I usuall just try clothing in store, before buying, or I buy online from local...

It's a great jacket in wonderful conditions from what I see, and at a very good price. But it would probably fit two of me..... o_O If I go with the Schott USA website recommendations, I am more of a size XS, the Schott European / French site instead says S. Figuring which one is more correct...

UK, exactly, but yeah, geographically Europe. Thank you!

Yeah. I get what you are all saying. Thanks! You know, ideally I would like to be able to go to a store, and try all Schott cafe racer jackets and other cafe racer leather jackets of similar quality and price range and see which one fits the way I prefer for model and size. And that's not an...

Well, I know that I am overthinking it, but I am not in the US, and I cannot find a store that has Schott jackets where I live, to try them on. That is what I would do with a piece of clothing. Also the leather jackets I can find in store are not that great. So I only have the Internet...

Hello All, While I was researching and thinking of getting a relatively simple and not too expensive leather jacket, to just use it out and about and enjoy, I also bumped into the idea of buying a good one and keep it for years. This brought me to Schott leather jackets and I was checking...
