Cowhide Casual Racer 654

In my opinion, this jacket is just the right weight - not too heavy, not too light. Anywhere from 30 deg to 75, you should feel fine in this. The construction is second to none, and the finish seems to only get better with time.

The high armholes give this a nice, fitted cut that feels very contemporary. The design, however, is a total classic - very minimalist with just the right amount of functional hardware to catch the eye. You feel like you can take on anything the second you put it on.

There's also the little things you just can't experience online. For one, this jacket smells incredible. I also feel the pics don't do it justice as this thing is work of art up close.

As for my experience with Schott, there's a simple reason they've been in business for 93 years: they're the BEST! I custom ordered my 654, and Gail and Casey were some of the most helpful folks I've ever had the pleasure of buying from. The turnaround time was about half what I expected, and I couldn't be happier.

Bottom line, I will wear this jacket for many years and only replace it with another Schott. If you're thinking about buying one, just take the leap now. You really won't regret it.

A more casual fit which is nice compared to the 141. Waxy Cowhide has a great feel to it and is already breaking niceley. Of course the construction is second to none. Would have loved for it to come in Brown also.

i have been wearing my #654 jacket every day since it arrived (96hrs from NYC too SOUTH AUSTRALIA was fantastic)took me awhile to decide which jacket but after many emails and even a early morning AUST time phone call(thanks JERRI) went with the 654 and am surely not dissapointed, the style ,colour,cut, fit are all great..would surely recommend SCHOTT for anyone after a great jacket with excellent service ..thanks.. cheers..andrew

my schott #654 jacket arrived today 96hrs from nyc too pt pirie australia, that was fantastic. spent the the next 2 hours checking it out (mum was a proffessional seamstress so its just habit with clothing) could not fault it.took me weeks of looking at diffrent styles(wanted a lighter wieght jacket as we dont have the snow bound freezing winters here,but it isnt like fashion types its still a substantial jacket that will be just fine to use on the ride too work)this is the perfect type .after many emails and 1 early morning phone call to sort sizing (thanks, Jerri) i got the XL being 6'1", 174lbs atheletic build was concerned about the fit across the shoulders but its a great fit.would recomend this jacket to anyone. with this quality of gear and great customer service one can see why SCHOTT have been around nearly 100yrs..many thanks Jerri and the team at SCHOTT.... cheers andrew

A very nice Jacket, good fit and not to heavy for use every day. Thanks Schott for make this :)

this is truly a superstar jacket, slick and clean. the finished cowhide is thick enough to protect your body, but the overall construction is not too bulky for a casual dine out or date. WATCH OUT, this jacket has an open tongue! the cuffs are tongueless.
