Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141

How odd. A true classic, works well with jeans and normal clothes off the bike, pretty much bulletproof, works well in a frog strangler downpour, hot Midwestern days, cold spring and autumn days. Clean, classic, what a motorcycle jacket should be - only what is necessary, and nothing more. Barcelona Chairs, Ferrari Dinos, Empire State Building, Porsche 356, Schott 141.

I received my brown style 141 jacket last week and I wanted to take the time to thank you for your personal help with my order. I also wanted to thank the people at Schott who made the jacket. It is the finest styled , highest quality and workmanship leather jacket I have ever seen and ever owned. I have acquired leather clothing and jackets in Florence Italy and other places in the world during my life's travels but this is a perfectly tough and functional yet elegant jacket. I purchased it to be used on a motorcycle but I received half a dozen comments on it at an art gallery opening this past weekend. I am an American worker, a retired contractor carpenter and I'm sure our people can still set the standards for the world to follow. This is example of those high standards and a pleasure to have. Thank you.

What can I say Awesome! After talking with Jerri via email she sent over the actual measurements, after checking my size against these I realised I was slightly deformed. Undeterred I measured one of my jackets which was roughly the same style (only made of cotton). I then decided to order a 44r. I placed the order on Sunday 16th of October 11 it arrived 4 days later on Thursday 20th. It fits like glove the leather is awesome and smells fantastic, nothing like you can buy in Europe. Only issue I had was when placing the order the shipping had increased from $68 to $125, one quick email and Jerri sorted it. I would like to thank Jerri and everyone at Schott for a first class service. If you are considering buying direct do not hesitate, you will not be disappointed. Only problem now is having to wait for Christmas for it have tried bribing the wife to no avail .

Been Waiting for this jacket for years!!!
As a non american and living in a country with no Schott representation (Portugal), putting my body into something like this would be really difficult, or should I say truly expensive? Of course I have authentic Harley-Davidson jackets, Perfecto and Cafe Racers style replicas here, but it's not the same. In fact, Harley jackets, in spite of the leather quality, are not my cup of tea. Big logos, skulls and stripes can literally destroy a jacket!
I buy lots of stuff through the internet, mainly from the UK, but never bought clothing, afraid of sizing problems and poor quality of the materials. But with this one I almost lost my head. At least, until I “put the numbers into the paper”... This excellent jacket could cost me something like 950 to 1000 Eur, after VAT, shipping expenses and airport taxes. It's a lot of money!!!
I first made e-mail contact to Gail, some 5 months ago. At the time I exposed my concerns about buying the jacket through the internet and told her that I will be in NY in April, 2011, so maybe she could give some Schott address stores. She said “No problem. We’re just manufacturers, so we don’t have stores, but I could give you the name of some NYC Schott retailers!”. Perfecto! (can’t find better word for her professionalism).
And so it is, with Gail’s and Jerry Reyes (who provide me the name of the stores) precious help I finally get my 141 model, during my second visit to this astonishing city.
All I can say about the jacket (or I wouldn’t be writing these words – specially in a foreigner language) is that IT’S A-M-A-Z-I-N-G: History, Perfect cut, Simplicity, Quality, Clean, Confort, Classic put all together in the same piece of Americana. I never tried a Langlitz, but I doubt, they can shape it better than these ones. One of the things that most impress me is both the thickness and softness of the leather – really strong but very soft!
The only thing I’m missing now, is to try it on my Big Twin after these heavy showers pass away!
Guys, you really rock it and I will shure come back for you. My next one, within a year (or my wife will kill me!) will be the Hand oiled 647 A2 Bomber jacket...
I knew that Dean, Brando, Joey and all those rockers were right...
Amen!...

The Greek philosopher Plato once wrote of the ‘Forms’ that are the perfect representations of an object. That is to say, our idea of what that object is and not it’s actual physical self is what is actually real. This is what the Schott 141 leather jacket can be likened to. In my opinion it is the closest thing we have to the ‘kernel’ or’ idea’ of what a ‘motorcycle jacket’ really is. The Schott 141 is the genuine article, in its true and purist sense. The quality of the cowhide is superlative, without a doubt. I have been wearing one for only a short time, yet I know that this jacket will outlast me and be passed down as a treasured family heirloom. Really I could place the ‘Schott Perfecto 618’ wherever I have written the ‘Schott 141’ and it won’t make any difference at all, even though the latter is made of heavy steer-hide as opposed to the naked cowhide of the former. These fine garments from Schott are the ‘Form’ that all other motorcycle jackets strive to be. The name Perfecto is not only a cigar.

I recently purchased a Classic Racer Leather Morotcycle Jacket in Brown. It is exceptionally well crafted, and the brown color is much dardker and richer than I had expected. The leather is top notch, and when riding my motorcycle really blocks the wind. I've had numerous compliments about the color, quality and cut of this jacket. I would really recommend to anyone to purchase this fine product. Of course, the customer service at Schotts is also top quality...Gail you're a Jem.

I bought my 141 in 1981 when I bought my first Harley. It's taken me through hell and back. My 141 is holding up better than I am. It's gottin a little tight over the years but still in good shape. Thank you SCHOTT for making a superior product!

I have owned two schott jackets for over a decade and like good wine, they seem to get better every time. I finally decided to purchase a 141 and couldn't be happier. Gail recommended I took one size less than my flight jacket and she was spot on... thanks Gail, it fits like a glove. Schott's all time quality, and in my house (in Spain) in under a week. Keep it up guys!

The 141 was the classic jacket that many of us (aspiring road racers) wished for. We usually settled for something less, a second hand or cheaper jacket more within our budget. I remember quite a few trips rolling along Skyline or Hwy 9 in the mountains, before Johnny law made it nearly impossible to ride there. This jacket brought back some great memories, all the quality I’d heard about and then some. Thanks for a great product, still made in the U.S.

My grandmother bought this jacket for me...40 YEARS ago, thats right, back in 1968 or 1969.
I stopped wearing it about ten years ago (too tight), but thats when my wife started wearing it...she still wears it now, so it's still in service and has never had to be repaired.
This jacket has lasted over 5 different motorcycles and has over a quater million miles on it....BEST dam jacket I ever owned.
I'm gettin up in years and notice I'm losin some body mass, in a couple years I expect it to fit me once again...well I LOANED it to my wife, so I'll be wearin it again when it fits!!

Best leather jacket EVER, so soft, perfect fit!! It is outstanding quality and everyone should own one of these!! Lightening fast delivery to the UK too. Couldn't have asked for more!! Thanks!!

Received my 141 jacket and it is more than expected. Drips of quality and workmanship and fits like a glove. Thanks for everything!

I ordered this jacket online after speaking with Gail who was very helpful regarding fit and specific dimensions (such as arm diameter!).

Gail answered all my questions on style differences relative to size, processed my order, expedited my shipment and it arrived in Singapore 3 days later!

The jacket is perfect! Great quality, great styling!

I made a minor adjustment to the sleeve length - which Gail had also predicted might be necessary :-)

Now I know to order my next jacket with a 4" zip at the sleeve :-)

thanks to all - a great customer service experience

I was fortunate enough to have this jacket handed down to me from an uncle who used to ride- in fact, he still does, but the coat no longer fits his less-slim profile these days... He bought this coat more than 30 years ago, and gave it to me once I started riding, a few years back.

When I received the coat, it was perfectly broken in- however the leather was very dry. A bottle of good-quality leather conditioner later, and it has the "premium classic" look to it- along with the thick, strong and durable leather that you need for riding protection.

I actually had a gent offer me $750 for my Schott's hand-me-down - but I had to turn him down. I've not come across a motorcycle jacket with a nicer fit, style or general quality yet.

These coats are made to be worn.

I own alot of leather jackets. Let me say this is the first I owned that was so soft yet the leather was of a decent thickness. The build quality of this jacket is noticeable the minute I took it out of the box. The fit was right on. Delivery took just two days. Once you see this jacket you know why it's a classic.

I was very happy with the customer service person who helped me with this order. I had an initial problem due to an address mismatch and my order was cancelled. I spoke to the customer service rep and she was able to quickly reinstate my order and get it out in the mail to me the next day. I was happy that I did not have to go online and reenter the whole order. The jacket arrived within one week and looks beautiful. It is for my husband's birthday on 5/26 so I won't know his reaction for awhile but I hope he loves it too. This is a replacement for an original Schoot 141 that Frank has had @ 25 years now. He has never wanted to replace his because he loves the style and fit but after 25 years he is in need of a replacement. Thanks for a nice shopping experience.

I am extremely pleased w/ my purchase. Tremendous quality. Customer service was informative and timely.
