Lightweight Waxy Cowhide Fitted Motorcycle Jacket 626

I ordered this jacket for summer riding, and because it's a Perfecto style available in Brown. I live in Houston, and, during the summer, riding in anything but a t-shirt—and, really, even then—feels like riding in a wet oven. But this jacket is comfortable on the bike.

I like the look, though there's more of a red tint in the Brown than I'd anticipated from the photo online. I imagine it will patina beautifully.

In terms of sizing, I'm baffled by the reviewer who is 5'6" and thin, and for whom the Small is snug. I'm also 5'6" and have an athletic build, and the small is a little loose on me. The XS is out of stock in Brown, so I'm keeping the S and getting it tailored by an amazing leather tailor here in Houston.

I can't comment on its warmth, as it's still around 100 degrees here during the day. It definitely feels like it will be plenty warm enough throughout fall and probably most, if not all, of our mild winter (lows in the high 40s–low 50s).

I really appreciate everything about this jacket—it smells great, looks great, and is very comfortable when riding. As many others have mentioned, the quality is immediately evident in the look and feel. If I could, I'd take the 2 stars off my jacket and give this product 7.

I must say, I'm impressed with the product as of late. I've had Schott leathers on & off since I was a teenager (a long time ago:) & while the others were totally functional & quality, I never really fell in love with them. But that was then. This jacket, while I've only just purchased it, is a keeper. I grabbed a X-Small so it's got a nice snug fit & I love how the leather has a nice subtle but noticeable shine to it. And the lining is great too. It's got style. I've had a lot of leather jackets over the years, some better than other in different respects, but your always on the lookout for the "one". The perfect jacket that you'll keep forever & wouldn't trade it for anything. I think this might just be that jacket :)

This is a terrific jacket. Soft but tough leather. Nice slim fit (which means you might want to go 1 up from your normal size). Warm plaid lining. And very reasonably priced. I live in SF and I'm wearing it to ride in December. It's great.

My first Schott jacket, and I love it. The right weight, texture and workmanship. Be warned though, I'm 5'6, thin and with practically no chest or shoulders, yet the size small is still very snug on me (hence the "fitted" I suppose). I'll need to break it in, but just something to consider when selecting your size. It's a real beauty though.

This truly is a great looking jacket. I feel like a rock star whenever I put it on. It's thinner than the 618 or 613 but still relatively thick and heavy duty. I'm sure this jacket will last a very long time. I bought a medium and most medium jackets fit me either well or a little baggy. I must say that the sizes in this particular model run a lot smaller than most other manufacturers. It's definitely a slim fit and for some reason, the armpit fits really tight. I could barely lift my arms. I'm hoping that it will stretch over time. Definitely order a size up if you want some space in your upper arm/armpit/shoulder area.

This jacket is made with the highest quality standards, the leather is soft and very comfortable. The fit is perfect and i thank Jerri for help decide which size was better. I live in colombia and it was worth the waiting (2 weeks). Best jacket i have ever had!!!!

Got mine today,Light when compared to a 618 but not thin.Im 6'2" and was concerned about length,but the 26" fits just right.Im not sure if the lack of the leather flap behund the sleeve zippers is gonna bug be but should be an easy fix at the luggage repair if it does. Nice dress Perfecto for formal events.

Nice light jacket Gail was great on getting me the right size. The jacket is very nice well made the only thing is I was disapointed that it did not have the leather sleeve gussets like a regular motorcycle jacket.
