Fantastic Jacket, tight fit
Jacket arrived yesterday. Top quality, fantastic jacket, and customer service second to none.
Many thanks for all your help.
PS. The only note I would make. I am 42 inch chest measurement and the jacket fits me perfectly. Your web site indicates that the large size is a 42 - 44 inch chest. However I think someone with a 44 inch chest might find it a bit of a tight fit.

A second skin !!!
I wonder give a 5 stars but unfortunately I had a little problem with buttons falling just after one week of use. Gail acted perfectly in order to repair this inconvenience.
Except this very small problem, I can fully recommand this coat. Perfect size, hard leather perfect quality, this coat holds you very pleasantly warm even by very cold weather.
A last word about the style : definitively wonderful, surely able to cross over the fashions ... Perennially fashionable !!!

best jacket in my life
Thank you for this jacket! It's difficult to find it in Moscow, but i did it. I'm happy.
It would be better to open your shop in Russia (for example in Moscow).

What an amazing jacket.
I had a bit of trouble getting this coat. First, I ordered the size L - if you have a 44-inch chest like I do, don't. Go for the XL. The fit is JUST tight enough as to be annoying. What with transit time and then finding out the XLs were backordered....
... until late January! That is, until the EXCELLENT and UNPARALLELED customer service at Schott's found one for me in the warehouse, and sent it. Too bad my leasing office forgot to let me know the package had arrived! It stayed there a week! My own fault on that, I guess, for I could have checked.
I have now had this jacket for a day. It is, BY FAR, the best clothing product I have ever owned. Forget favorite shirts and the like - this is such a superior garment that I almost WANT to wear it all the time!
Here are my practical notes -
The fit is tight, and feels good that way.
The jacket is HEAVY. It has some heft to it. Very different from my previous leather coat, which was also a softer leather.
The leather is tight. It will definitely require time to break in.
It looks extremely sharp, and it is extremely well made. I can't say enough about how impressive the manufacture of this coat is.
Now alls I need are some goggles and a white scarf.

Improve your love life
Sadly, I am no longer single. But, if I were, this jacket would be very helpful in keeping me busy. First of all, the fit and finish of the jacket is outstanding. Very heavy material, a very tight stitching. Fits nice and tight. Pay attention to the size charts. I wear a 38R and the size Small was perfect. Normally, I wear a medium, but the size charts suggested differently. Whenever I wear this coat, I get lots of looks from women and a couple guys have asked me where I bought it. Anyways, just buy this coat, it's second to none. I love it.

Great Jacket - This is the one
Had mine a month or so now - its absolutely great - classic design - great slim fit - I went for the large - Im a 40inch chest - Im not fat Im not thin and its perfect fit. The quality really is expectional - if it was stolen Id buy it again without a doubt - and Ive had a few looks in it so I keep an eye on it in the bar. Great service from Gail too - Really impressed all around

Worth the Wait
I ordered the jacket on Oct 18 and got it Nov 9. Got bumped once on the list. Once arrived it was worth the wait. The detail is excellent and got a lot of compliments. Schott does listen to customers, I saw the rear view of the jacket posted and the buttons are reinforced. There was a posting that the buttons would come off. The fitted cut feels great. I can see why there was a waiting list. Gail was excellent in handling my order.

The Buttons...
The buttons are too hard to thread... they are concave and thin, making it hard to get the jacket on and off.... If it were not for the buttons, this would be a truly exceptional jacket, the leather is heavy, yet supple, and the cut of the garment is very flattering. Too bad about the buttons, or this would be a five star piece.
As an afterthought this would be an interesting gaarment to see rendered as a full length trench-style coat....

Military double breasted jacket review
Seems to be very well made. Smooth high quality leather, I don't like jackets with bumpy grain so I was please with this jacket. The only caveat is the buttons. They are thin metal and are uncomfortable to button because of the sharp edge.
Overall I'm proud to buy an American made product and I'm very pleased with the jacket

Military Jacket
This is an excellent jacket. It delivers everything it promises with a great mix of design and durability. Its heavy and tough and a rare gem in a world of contemporary clothing that tends to be delicate, shallow and often poorly made.

BLT - Built Like a Tank
Last coat you will ever have to buy. Made to last a lifetime. This double breated military-style jacket is an absolute must for any urban street fighter, or just your average big city dweller. Weighs a ton but that's the cost of wearing grass fed body armor. Protects you against the elements as well as errant blows from cab doors or rude subway riders. Jacket has a slim fit and great shape. Best of all: Made in the USA. One of the few things this country can produce and call world class.

One year Later
I have had this Jacket for a year now and I can honestly say this is one of the best jackets I have ever purchased. The weight, the quality, and fit are all exceptional. I get complements all the time and living in New England I can speak to the warmth. The jacket is breaking in nicely but will need to get another year of wear to make it “my own” (the leather is that heavy). It is just starting to get that broken in feel. All stitching and button sewing are holding up great (common problems in heavy leathers with buttons). I rate this jacket five stars hands down.
Buy Schott’s and you get good old fashion American quality, something rare these days. Schott sets the bar and I feel like I own a piece of American History. They have a customer for life.

Just received, completely pleased.
Received this jacket this morning, a beautiful early summer type day. Because of this coat I'm actually happy the weather is supposed to dip and be cold for a few days next week.
Mine is a custom and it fits impeccably. What a beautiful coat and a great style. Like a pea coat but much more stylish and distinctive. Great job Schott, keep the designs like this coming. Raid your archives for more gems like this.
