    Thanks Max, I will!

    I purchased this racer jacket on Monday

    I realized I was mainly gonna wear the jacket out and about, casually. I had always liked the look of lambskin and the Schotts were way too much money still ( talking about used ones on eBay). Maybe one day, but this stress of getting a leather jacket for over a year is behind me.

    Lol, I wish. Just a regular Joe who finally bit the bullet (as nice as the Schotts are online, if they fit or feel bad, I'm out money as many don't offer returns)

    Yes I will just behave and act normally and not try to be Brad Pitt from Fight Club and starting shit or in this case, fights.

    I hope not lol. As an aside I was approached by a homeless girl who wanted me to fight her as she was squatting at a bus stop. I was wearing a light blue denim jacket haha

    It took a while to get a jacket of this style since money was tight for most of last year and part of this year too, but I managed to finally get this when it was on sale. Picked this up a few days ago and it's great. https://images2.imgbox.com/ae/76/IebrOxWi_o.jpg

    I want a Schott 641 or 141 but I need help finding the right size.

    You may be right. The listed jackets don't mention the age or decade they are from. I don't know how much different the patterns would have changed but they don't look super worn (the more expensive listings). I will stick my suit size and hope for the best.

    Well, this is weird because comparing measurements listed for say a 641 in 38 regular and 141 in 36 regular, the measurements aren't equal. The sleeves, pit to pit and length don't match up. The shoulders and total length seem to match up though.

    I want a Schott 641 or 141 but I need help finding the right size.

    Okay I will try the fit guide. My Levi's jacket that fits well, has p2p of 21.5 inches and 19" shoulder and for some reason this one fits *almost* too tight. I can see from some eBay listings that 141 in size 36 has 18 or 18.5 shoulder to shoulder measurement. I think I may need to size up to 38...

    I want a Schott 641 or 141 but I need help finding the right size.

    I believe you, but why does the 641 look slimmer in terms of body width, and why is the sleeve length shorter than body length by 1" (141 has equal sleeve length to its body length). I don't know if it's just the outer material draping differently between steerhide and naked cowhide but it...

    I want a Schott 641 or 141 but I need help finding the right size.

    I wear a suit size of 36 Regular, and my normal outerwear is literally denim jackets. I like the silhouette and material and it is better than polyester or nylon jackets (for me anyways). I have contemplated on getting a leather jacket and am dead set on getting a Schott 641 or 141. The unique...

    Hi new here. Is wearing a leather jacket basically an invitation for trouble?

    You are a braver man than me. I don't think I can ever put a leather jacket in washing machine.

    Hi new here. Is wearing a leather jacket basically an invitation for trouble?

    That makes sense but also doesn't. I wish there was a international/universal measurement for mens and womens garments used by every decent brand out there.

    Hi new here. Is wearing a leather jacket basically an invitation for trouble?

    I will need to get this remeasured again at a reputable clothier or even tailor shop. I had to buy a Moores suit last year (off the rack of course and on sale), but I got 2 measurements at 2 different stores last year. I am either a true 35" chest or a true 36" chest based from two different...

    Hi new here. Is wearing a leather jacket basically an invitation for trouble?

    Oh crap, I didn't know this was a thing there! Do you think I can work around this by asking for measurements beforehand for shoulder to shoulder, total length and sleeve length? Assuming the measurements the seller provides equals or looks the same as a medium/small size jacket, it should be ok...
