LOOKS GREAT BUT A FEW THINGS TO POINT OUT
Apparently I'm the odd ball giving 4 stars but hear me out. I love Schott and this is my 2nd jacket. This time around has been interesting cause I had to send the first one back which was easy but you do wait at least a week to get the replacement shipped.
I don't know if it's just me or it's a flaw in the design but where the inside pocket meets the two outer left pockets there seems to be a lot of material bunched up in that area and it's kinda annoying. The first jacket was so bad it's all I could focus on which is why I sent it back. The 2nd one is better but still requires a lot massaging the leather in that area (inside) to flatten it out.
With the new jacket the front zipper is not smooth at all. Because of the way it's constructed there are "waves" in the zipper and it leads to it getting snagged at some point every zip-up. I hope this becomes more smooth as I break it in. The collar band also has a weird shape and I'm trying to massage the leather and adjust it to what I like.
The other thing to be aware of is this jacket is very noisy! So much my wife laughs at me. You can't move even a little without it creaking or squeaking. I hope some leather oil will help this and with a lot of wearing and breaking in.
I love the look of this jacket inside and out which is why I'm keeping it, I just hope all those things get resolved as I wear it a lot and break it in. In my opinion this jacket seems overpriced for what you get. It is not a $1,000+ jacket so that part I'm struggling with. The other Schott jacket I have is the brown retro moto jacket and it cost much less but feels so much higher quality. I love it.
I hate to be so critical but people considering this purchase need to know these things. This is just a very honest review but I do wish I could ask others if they experienced the same things.
For reference I'm 6 foot, 195 lbs with a 47 inch chest and the XL fits me great. Not too tight or loose.
BEAT EXPECTATIONS
This jacket exceeded my expectations. Well made and based on all the unsolicited positive comments I’ve received the styling is spot on.
EXCELLENT AND FAST COOPERATION.
I'm not writing reviews, but now I have to make an exception. Beauty, quality, perfection!
SCHOTT PER 41
Love the coat...I am 5'11" weighing 185 and the size large fit perfectly. Worth every dollar...it will last me a life time.
GREAT COMPANY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE!
Great jacket for sure, you might say Bad ass! Heavy duty. I have the Raven, a lighter weight cut and beautifully put together as well. The customer service could not be better. I have had to send back a couple of items and they make it flawless and easy to feel comfortable that you'll be taken care of. They have a lot to offer in styles but their gear is built to last and I can only use a certain amount given this reason. My bases are cover at this point but will at some point more than likely find something I got to have or want. Glad to deal with a company that's first class.
BEST JACKET I OWN
Not sure how I got by this long without this jacket. The look is perfect - the fit is perfect (M) and I am 5'11" - 152 lbs. with a 34" waist - just can't say enough good things about this jacket. Look forward to wearing it often this winter. Thanks Schott!.
ABSOLUTELY GREAT JACKET
Bought this jacket about a week ago. I have a collection of Schott jackets and of course the Peacoat.. Schott jackets have been in family for 3 generations.
I bought the Medium, because as you may know as Schott jacket owners the leather stretched about a half a size. It fit a little snug and a little bit stiff because the leather is heavy, great for motorcycle jacket.
I usually where a Large in shirts and T-shirt. I'm 5'10" 195 lbs, 34 waist size. Hopefully helps you on the size.
I definitely recommend this jacket, the aging distressed look is perfect.
