Single Rider Steerhide leather Motorcycle Jacket 641

When this jacket arrived across the Pacific in less than a week after ordering it, I knew it'd be good. To open the box and try it on? One word. Quality. As advised, I ordered one size up and it fits perfectly; snug in the hip but comfortable across chest and shoulders - and surprisingly moveable thanks to the footballs and action back. It's the quality of the leather and workmanship of this classic cut jacket that astounds. It may take only a little "breaking in", but I've already been asked with admiration "Where'd you get that jacket?" Schott deserve to be proud of their long standing name. Classic quality, classic service (thanks Gail) and classic leather. I had a roo-hide jacket that paramedics had to cut off - roo doesn't bounce. They'll have to knock me out to get this one off, I'm hoping Steerhide helps me counter-steer a bit better. I'm proudly Aussie, but now proud to own such an American classic.

I've owned many leather jackets. By far no brands surpass my Schott 641 Steerhide in quality. The leather is thick but doesn't take long to break in 'cause I wear it everyday. It's now my favorite jacket. Great riding jacket, goes well with jeans and everyday's clothes. It has slimmer cut than Schott 141 and that makes it look better than the 141 in my opinion. My friend who has Schott 141 fell in love with it when he saw mine. And I know that he will eventually buy one. Thank you Gail for heping me with sizing.

I have two armored fabric jackets which I generally use when I ride but wanted to get a nice leather jacket as well. After doing lots of online research and looking in stores it was obvious that Schott jackets were what I was looking for. The quality of the jacket is outstanding: good thick leather, well-dyed, zippers are strong, stitching is perfect. This is a jacket that has the potential to last for decades and be passed on my son -- and he well may decide to "borrow" it before that. As recommended in the sizing guide I bought a size larger than my normal jacket size, and the fit is perfect: snug but not tight. The action back is particularly effective in allowing freedom of movement. This is a solid five star jacket.

I had a Schott "cafe racer" like this way back in 1975-76, and, in what was evidently a moment of temporary insanity, sold it to a friend. What a nice surprise to find they still make them in the original slim cut. Putting it on is like entering a time machine!

The Jacket I purchased is in excellent condition.
However, I ordered a size 38 for my 38 chest and it
was much too small. I suggest that you change
the jacket sizes.
