How can I be the first to review such an excellent product?
How odd. A true classic, works well with jeans and normal clothes off the bike, pretty much bulletproof, works well in a frog strangler downpour, hot Midwestern days, cold spring and autumn days. Clean, classic, what a motorcycle jacket should be - only what is necessary, and nothing more. Barcelona Chairs, Ferrari Dinos, Empire State Building, Porsche 356, Schott 141.

Best Jacket I Have Ever Seen
I received my brown style 141 jacket last week and I wanted to take the time to thank you for your personal help with my order. I also wanted to thank the people at Schott who made the jacket. It is the finest styled , highest quality and workmanship leather jacket I have ever seen and ever owned. I have acquired leather clothing and jackets in Florence Italy and other places in the world during my life's travels but this is a perfectly tough and functional yet elegant jacket. I purchased it to be used on a motorcycle but I received half a dozen comments on it at an art gallery opening this past weekend. I am an American worker, a retired contractor carpenter and I'm sure our people can still set the standards for the world to follow. This is example of those high standards and a pleasure to have. Thank you.

Only The Best!
I bought my 141 in 1981 when I bought my first Harley. It's taken me through hell and back. My 141 is holding up better than I am. It's gottin a little tight over the years but still in good shape. Thank you SCHOTT for making a superior product!

A true classic...
I have owned two schott jackets for over a decade and like good wine, they seem to get better every time. I finally decided to purchase a 141 and couldn't be happier. Gail recommended I took one size less than my flight jacket and she was spot on... thanks Gail, it fits like a glove. Schott's all time quality, and in my house (in Spain) in under a week. Keep it up guys!

A quality no frills jacket that works, true classic.
The 141 was the classic jacket that many of us (aspiring road racers) wished for. We usually settled for something less, a second hand or cheaper jacket more within our budget. I remember quite a few trips rolling along Skyline or Hwy 9 in the mountains, before Johnny law made it nearly impossible to ride there. This jacket brought back some great memories, all the quality I’d heard about and then some. Thanks for a great product, still made in the U.S.

Better late than never
My grandmother bought this jacket for me...40 YEARS ago, thats right, back in 1968 or 1969.
I stopped wearing it about ten years ago (too tight), but thats when my wife started wearing it...she still wears it now, so it's still in service and has never had to be repaired.
This jacket has lasted over 5 different motorcycles and has over a quater million miles on it....BEST dam jacket I ever owned.
I'm gettin up in years and notice I'm losin some body mass, in a couple years I expect it to fit me once again...well I LOANED it to my wife, so I'll be wearin it again when it fits!!

Brilliant Service - Singapore
I ordered this jacket online after speaking with Gail who was very helpful regarding fit and specific dimensions (such as arm diameter!).
Gail answered all my questions on style differences relative to size, processed my order, expedited my shipment and it arrived in Singapore 3 days later!
The jacket is perfect! Great quality, great styling!
I made a minor adjustment to the sleeve length - which Gail had also predicted might be necessary :-)
Now I know to order my next jacket with a 4" zip at the sleeve :-)
thanks to all - a great customer service experience

30 years...
I was fortunate enough to have this jacket handed down to me from an uncle who used to ride- in fact, he still does, but the coat no longer fits his less-slim profile these days... He bought this coat more than 30 years ago, and gave it to me once I started riding, a few years back.
When I received the coat, it was perfectly broken in- however the leather was very dry. A bottle of good-quality leather conditioner later, and it has the "premium classic" look to it- along with the thick, strong and durable leather that you need for riding protection.
I actually had a gent offer me $750 for my Schott's hand-me-down - but I had to turn him down. I've not come across a motorcycle jacket with a nicer fit, style or general quality yet.
These coats are made to be worn.

Amazing quality
I own alot of leather jackets. Let me say this is the first I owned that was so soft yet the leather was of a decent thickness. The build quality of this jacket is noticeable the minute I took it out of the box. The fit was right on. Delivery took just two days. Once you see this jacket you know why it's a classic.

feedback to Schott
I was very happy with the customer service person who helped me with this order. I had an initial problem due to an address mismatch and my order was cancelled. I spoke to the customer service rep and she was able to quickly reinstate my order and get it out in the mail to me the next day. I was happy that I did not have to go online and reenter the whole order. The jacket arrived within one week and looks beautiful. It is for my husband's birthday on 5/26 so I won't know his reaction for awhile but I hope he loves it too. This is a replacement for an original Schoot 141 that Frank has had @ 25 years now. He has never wanted to replace his because he loves the style and fit but after 25 years he is in need of a replacement. Thanks for a nice shopping experience.
