    Aero Hookless - solid brass or?..

    Well, the durability of zinc slider IS an issue - if you look at the slider photos in my first post here, it can be seen that it's not only the coating, but the zinc itself wears off, obvioulsy by rubbing through heavy leather. And this is only after one month of use. I am pretty sure this...

    Aero Hookless - solid brass or?..

    UPD For those of you who are interested what your repro zippers are made of, this is an answer from Asahi/Waldes, who is the manufacturer of these zippers: This slider is made of Zinc.

    Aero Hookless - solid brass or?..

    Schott 641 horsehide fit & size?

    Yes, the lenght of the jacket is good enough when leaning forward on the bike. I plan to wear it only on t-shirt or shirt, and even in this case I wish the quilted lining to be more thin (or zip out). But I think that jacket should fit just perfect when broken in with time! The horse hide...

    Schott 641 horsehide fit & size?

    It arrived and here are the pictures! I'd say I am happy with 44 fit, sleeves could be a bit longer, but I can live with that length. Even on the bike they are not as short as I'd expect. Will appreciate your opinion regarding the fit!

    Schott 641 horsehide fit & size?

    I live in Lviv, which is 350 miles from Kiev, but I often visit Kiev. Yes, almost every brand is presented there but usually price is much higher than in US, that's why I usually purchase sfuff online whenever it is possible. For example, Harley-Davidson parts and merchandise in almost 3 times...

    Schott 641 horsehide fit & size?

    I was lucky to find Schott dealer here in Ukraine, that stocks different sizes of 641HH, so tomorrow I will try 44 on. By the way, the price tag here is around $900 for 641:eusa_doh:

    What I would really appreciate is if someome of the same size as me wearing 641, could post a picture of the jacket fit, especially sleeves.

    Schott 641 horsehide fit & size?

    Thanks guys all of you, I already decided upon buying 46 (mainly because sleeve length) but now it seems I am at the starting point... I really don't want much room in my jacket. I've got a Schott table with measurements, but in some point I just don't know how the measures are taken, for...

    Already done. Thank again! Now I am really close to order 46, but would still appreciate any advice from 641HH owners.

    Schott 641 horsehide fit & size?

    Thanks for input I talked to Schott but it is still unclear shoud I stick to 44 or 46, so I decided that asking Schott owners with similar size would be the best way. Moreover, I live in Ukraine and exchanging the jacket wouldn't be that easy for me. Robrinay, do you wear 641? Does 46 fit more...
