Hello everybody!
Some time ago I promised to upload some photos of my 1 year old Schott 618HH for Mendelboaz. The purpose of this thread is to show the amazing grain and creasing it has developed.
Unfortunately the photos do not do justice to the leather. It is much better! Having the same jacket in both steerhide and horsehide I personally find that horse is a class of its own (though the steerhide is pretty good as well). A classic and beautiful jacket!
So here you go!

Hello! do you have fir picks and also how tall are you? I want to order this jacket but not sure if going for a size 36 or 28, thanks in advance.

Hi Miguel,
I do not have any fit photo's at hand.
I am 172cm tall, 75kg, and my chest measures around 40 inch.
I own 2 Schott 618 perfecto's, size 38 and 40.
The size 40 allows for layering (even a thick hoodie) but the sleeves are a bit too long (keep in mind this is a riding jacket so it is supposed to have longer sleeves).
The size 38 (the one posted here) can be worn only with a shirt on.
I see you're located in Europe as well. My advice is to try to find the 618 steerhide (the horsehide version is more difficult to find here) and see what size suits you better. Be careful, the 118 (naked cowhide) has a different sizing. What are your measurements by the way?
