Bought a size 40. Perfect slim fit. Can comfortably wear over a long sleeve cashmere polo and can also easily fit over a M65 liner. Absolutely great jacket.

I appreciate the quality materials and craftsmanship, and I'm happy to put in the time to break it in knowing it will last a lifetime – and even be something I can pass down. It might not be for everyone, but if you value true quality and don't mind a break-in period, this jacket is worth it.

EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS - 641HH

WHOA! I recently purchased the Classic Schott Racer (Horsehide), and I couldn’t be happier! From the moment I put it on, it felt exactly as described. The leather is heavy, stiff, and incredibly durable enough to withstand daily wear. The shine gives it a sleek, modern look that stands out in any crowd.

I had my wife measure my chest and it was 50 inches, but I wasn’t sure about that. I kept redoing the “calculations” and all I can say now is that the fit is perfect, and it doesn't feel restrictive. The attention to detail is evident in the stitching and the quality of the zippers and buttons. It’s clear that this jacket was crafted with care and precision.

Overall, this jacket actually exceeded my expectations in every way. I know I will be wearing it for many years to come. Highly recommended!

I couldn’t wait to receive my brand new 641HH and when I did I couldn’t wait to start wearing it.
After about 3 weeks I started to notice something was off. I noticed that the right side of the jacket wasn’t like the left side. The right side is completely broken in and soft and the left side is as stiff as the day I got it. When I sit down the left shoulder wants to ride on my ear while the is where it’s supposed to be. I applied Leather Honey to the left side multiple times to get it to match the right but to no avail The right side shines more. I’m for certain that as I continue to patina the jacket through daily wear it will not look right. Pretty bummed.

GREAT JACKET

Fit was great. Love the look of the horsehide. Stiff, but can tell the jacket will be like a second skin when broken in.

I have one of these I bought used- this is a jacket Schott has offered for some time now. The horsehide is several steps above cowhide, It’s super tough and I imagine that, from new the break-in period is a long one.

I actually had a crash wearing my 641HH. I rolled and slid along the asphalt as I came to a stop- the jacket has some mild scuffs on it but was fine other than that!

I love this “cafe racer” style. The jacket fits snugly at the hip but feels good overall. Schott’s customer service is great too. These jackets are not inexpensive but they sure are built to last. Schott jackets are without question heirloom quality. You can wear it all your life then hand it down to the next generation!

This is hands down the best made motorcycle jacket I’ve worn. It’s worth every dollar. Can’t wait to break it in.

THANK YOU SCHOTT!! COULD NOT BE HAPPIER WITH MY RACER JACKET

Awesome Quality product as expected, can't wait to break it in. It was dispatched immediately. after being purchased.

25% tax over CIF cost. Think about having a retailer or Schott shop in Chile, Latin America. It might be worth it. Thank you! Best Regards

AWESOME!
