Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135

To Gail and all at Schott's:

Just received my 135 jacket on 12-03-09 and what a great Christmas gift to myself it was. I am 601, 200 lbs. and the jacket in 44R fits great, even the arm length was right on. This by far is now my favorite jacket. The quality of this jacket just can't be found in department stores and its worth every penny. When I first opened the box and put the jacket on my girlfriends first response was "WOW, that looks great on you" I'm impressed to say the least. A much added feature and what really sold me on the jacket were the two additional left and right interior pockets that are of a fairly good size and depth. I am an active law enforcement officer where these interior pockets can come in handy for a small backup weapon if so desired. My next purchase will be the 135 made from horsehide. Thanks for such great customer service and attention to detail!!

Works equally well with t-shirt and jeans, khaki's and sportshirt, or business casual (which is 90% of the time in my neck of the woods). The quilted lining is a bit much for California and I'm going to replace it but other than that, I glad I made the purchase.

I first got this Jacket on 1/28/11 it was real nice but to small so i send it back.here is the great part i got my return in less 2 days. I send it back on 1/29 /11 wich was a satday, I dont know when they got it. but i think it was on 2/2/11. And i got it on 2/3/11all i can say is wow. This Jacket is so great the size fits well no problems all i can say is you cant beat this jacket or the service at Schotts Its all great!!!!!!!!!

Bought a 135 black size 50 over the internet, and I love it. The 135 is as good as its reviews say it is. A quality product. Simple design, quality leather. Strongly recommended.

A Wonderful Jacket! True to size so I ordered my regular suit size and was not disappointed. The jacket is a full cut jacket so it gives you plenty of room for a sweater but is not bulky looking with a t-shirt. The lining is incredible! Probably the best lining I've ever found in a leather jacket- Here is a suggestion, offer the customer a color choice in liners. For me, a red lining in this jacket would be the bees knees. Nice attention to details and quality. Zippers work, no loose threads, etc. I would maybe change the zipper clasp, handle, or whatever it's called. It is open faced, wraped wire and I have hooked it on a few things. The chest pocket zipper I tuck under the leather because I don't use the pocket very often. However, there are two inside pockets that are very generous in size and I've found those to be very functional. This is a great representation of a quality "American Made" product and reminds me of the quality I used to find years, and years ago. You get what you pay for, or pay for what you get- This jacket is worth the price and I would recommend it highly.

I just received my 135 jacket today. First, I was very pleased with the turn around. It took me 3 days to get the jacket! You just cant ask for better then that. Secondly, damn you guys make a great product. Seriously, I have very high standards and an eye for quality.I am very pleased with the quality and fit of the jacket (thanks to Gail, she really knows her stuff). I know the 135 isn't your top end merchandise but it is far superior to any foreign junk out there, not real sure the picture on your Web-Site does the coat justice but that's just me. Anyway, keep up the great work and quality. This is my first Schott jacket but I'm sure it wont be the last.



P.S.- Thanks again Gail for all your help and recommendation.

I ordered and received this jacket just prior to Christmas. This jacket looks great, the material is thick, and it is a heavy jacket. It will last a lifetime. While the jacket style has sort of a conservative look, the large thick zipper adds a touch of badass to it. I love it, and nothing out there can compare.

Regarding the chest pocket zipper: Originally, I did not like the idea of the chest pocket zipper, wishing that they made the jacket without it, but it has grown on me, and now I am glad that it's there. It just looks great, and makes the jacket more unique.


Note on sizing:
Originally ordered a size 40, since I normally wear a size 40S suit jacket, but the sleeves were about 2 inches too long. My actual chest measurement is just a tad over 38. My shirt size is a 16" neck, 31" sleeve, which means I have short arms. I e-mailed/called Schott and decided to order a size 38 jacket. Fit was much better. Sleeves are just a tad long, so I may get them shortened when summer arrives and it's too hot to wear. Also, at 28", the jacket fits a little long, especially if you are short. Not an issue, but just something to note when comparing to some of their other jackets that are 25" or 26" length.

Having owned numerous motorcycle and other leather jackets, I purchased this one last year.

The quality of the leather is outstanding, and its just a beautiful jacket. If you r thinking about doing it, pull the trigger, likely the best jacket you'll ever own.

Nice quality leather jacket made in USA,what more could you ask for? I love it for work and play. It's like my favorite Carhartt jacket only in leather. Thank you Schott!

Very comfortable and well made,very good lining. For me, would have liked a more fitted cut. Very well American made jacket. Glad it's made in the United States.

Ridiculously awesome jacket. I got compliments from the minute I took it out of the box. One guy in my office had a complete moment of reverie when he remembered that he'd had a similar Schott jacket until it was lost in a move - he said it was the best jacket he'd ever owned. I already feel like this one is my best one - and there's no way I will lose it in a move...

Also - Gail was incredibly helpful and informative throughout the process. Thanks, Gail!

I received my 135 leather jacket in naked cowhide over a week ago now, and I must say, it is finer than I expected. When I lifted it out of the box, it felt as though I was holding an old time American tool of quality, which is what this nation was built on.
For two years now, I've been looking at local stores for leather jackets and nearly bought one that fit and looked good enough, but when I looked at where it was made (China) it went right back on the rack. The leather wasn't nearly as thick, didn't look so sharp, nor fit as well. After taxes it would have also cost around $200 more. So glad I held on until I found a jacket that was made in the U.S.A.
When I put my Schott jacket on it really feels, as Gail put it, substantial. It's just what I've been searching for - simple, not too flashy, and dressy enough for any occasion. Most importantly, its made in the U.S.A. I'm glad that you guys are proud of it, and that it still means something, enough in fact I noticed even the coat hanger was also US made. Wish there were more companies likes you.

This is my third or fourth Schott jacket. The quality of the leather and workmanship are hard to find any more. You would probably pay the same or more for a chinese made leather jacket at a department store. The cut is generous, so I ordered my suit size and it fits perfect. It should last for many years.

This is a fine coat. Excellent styling, materials, hardware, stitching and it fits me like a glove. I was surpised by how substantial it feels. The customer service was polite and responsive to my needs. And furthermore, this coat is union made in the USA which means a lot to me. I believe in supporting jobs here, not the far east. I recommend this coat and feel it is priced correctly. If you take care of it, you will only need one of these.

Dear Sirs:
I remember in the 1940's, I had a navy surplus pea jacket that I used to ice skate on a city owned lake in a park in Great Falls, Montana. The jacket was great and I wore it out.
I am in my 70's and purchased a Schott pea jacket, which in my opinion is even better than the original navy pea jacket. It is a great jacket which is well made and fits me perfectly, as I am 6'3" and weigh 195 pounds.
After I saw the exceptionally fine quality of the pea jacket, I purchased the Schott pebbled weekend casual leather jacket # 135. It too fitted me perfectly and is of exceptional quality not found very often.
Since I am a long time motorcycle rider, I am thinking of purchasing a Schott motorcycle jacket, but I think that the style that I prefer is currently discontinued.
I sincerely feel that a person cannot go wrong if they purchase a Schott product.

As soon as I opened the box, the smell of the leather made the difference.The dept. store "designer label" coats cost almost as much and they were all made in China.Double interior pockets were a nice touch.The quality of the hardware and the heavy duty construction should easily last my lifetime. Thank you
