Help with Schott identification please !

I have just bought on the bay a "new to me" Schott jacket from the UK.

Size is "Large" and I know from the Schott website that an "L" is/was a 44 inch.

Schott 44 fits me perfectly, so I am hoping here in Perth Western Australia !

I don't know how to describe this jacket , other than it looks to be somewhere between a "Highwayman" style and the various "Police" jackets. It is for sure a civilian jacket going by the interior !

Seems like one of the lc-series, made somewhere in europe, if I judge well from the collar tab.

Yes I suspected European made , thankyou Harris Sir ! No obvious MADE IN USA label to be seen.

Hoping it is not too small for me if European made is the case !

 

[Harris HTM]

No idea if the european made schotts are supposed to fit trim! Good luck!

Well the Schott ex-UK has arrived safe and well in Perth Western Australia.

Indeed the jacket is a cracker "in the Flesh" so to speak. Lots of excellent features.

Bi Swing back that I had not noticed ( Duh !) from the sellers photos. Multi adjustable waist by press stud

DOWNSIDE ? As I may have suspected before arrival it's a wee tad "neat" on me.

Fits but it is "neat" ! This Schott "L" or Large is not a 44 like a Vanson "L".

My other Schott jackets are all 44 , all "US Union made" which may explain the difference

I am currently 5.11 tall and 92Kg these last 2 years , and at 84 Kg ( where I was for maybe 15 years + !) it would be fine.

Truth be told this jacket is more likely a "42".

If I decide not to keep it , several of my riding mates here are 42 so it may find a home there.

OR it may go on Aussie Gumtree ( like Craigslist kinda/sorta )
