I bought this jacket around late 2023 I thought I’d give my review.
Leather-Dark grey! Very unique for a leather jacket. I really like it. It’s very soft, almost like wearing a weighted blanket. Definitely a nice weight to it. Smells good oc🙄.
Fit-I purchased a small. I’m 5’10”. Weight 148-157 pounds(I weigh myself everyday at work). It fits great, I only like to wear a T-shirt under my leather jackets so the fit is slim but not restricted. My chest size is 38 maxed out while taking a deep breath lol.
Slightly longer in the front. I have a slightly shorter than average torso and longer than average arms. But this fits perfectly.🤷♂️
Price-Don’t look just buy it u won’t regret it. Just look at the reviews….everyone is happy with this jacket. I also read mostly all the reviews before I bought it an some don’t like the buckles on the side, I don’t really care for them either, wouldn’t go out of my way to get them removed. If anything it makes it look even classier.
Well-made jacket. I love the design. The leather is absolutely beautiful. It's got some weight to it which is nice.
I'm a woman (5'2" with a relatively short torso and wider hips) and I usually wear a women's medium or large and can typically fit into a men's small. With this being a men's style, I initially ordered a small, but found that the jacket was much too tight in the hip area (couldn't zipper), so I exchanged for a medium. Very happy with the fit. I can comfortably wear a lightweight sweater or sweatshirt under this.
There's some excess material around the shoulders, but I would expect that with it not being cut for women. However, I find most women's jackets are too restrictive in the shoulders, so the extra room is welcome.
A quick update regarding my first review -
For anyone who is digging this 693 but dislikes the bottom side belt buckles the way I did - I just took the jacket to a well reviewed leather tailor in town. He took both of them off - super clean, quick and easy. Charged me $30.
To me personally, this jacket is perfect now.
Clean, elegant and smooth without all the epaulettes, belts and buckles.
Absolutely loving it!
First time leather jacket purchaser here. Went big. Didn’t get my measurements but read the reviews and concluded I’d gamble with an L and swap out to an M if needed.
I’m 5’ 11”, 33 waist, teeter between 180-185 lbs.
Very fit, lift regularly, 11-12% body fat, flat stomach etc.
I don't naturally have the widest shoulders and normally wear M for T-shirts and button-ups.
The jacket arrived in a nice box, plastic covering, Schott coat hanger and accompanied with stickers and a thank you card.
Quality is undeniable, friends.. It feels like running silk in your hand. Smell is intoxicating. Liner and hardware all feel like quality.
Model pics are not accurate as far as color. First three pics are what you should expect. More of a smooth, darkish gray/black.
Jacket looks fantastic. Doesn’t give off aggressive biker vibes.
Compliment city first time I wore it out. Whole world and its mother asking me about it and even a few more leaning in for a whiff of the leather. Nice.
Few cons that are specific to me and don’t take away from 5 star rating:
1. While L fits me amazingly, it’s like 98% perfect. A WEE bit too big. Barely noticeable. With how the L currently fits I can only imagine that an M would sit perfectly flush on the body, I would look like a Matrix movie character, but I wouldn’t be able to move my arms at all and would be very uncomfortable walking around.
2. Jacket is a bit heavy. Not necessarily a bad thing. I live in CO so the extra weight and warmth is totally fine.
3. I don’t entirely dig the belt buckles on the bottom sides of the jacket. If they weren’t there this jacket would go from already awesome to complete perfection. Just my personal taste.
4. Lady answering the phone in NYC is a little rude and short tempered.
I can understand the shop is super busy and the team isn’t too excited talking to first time purchasers asking all the basic questions they’ve already been asked a million times.
But hey, $1500 being spent. Let a dude ask what’s the difference between cow and sheep (-;
Not too upset about it and still thrilled with this 693. It’s an absolute stunner for sure.
This is one of the finest pieces of clothing I have ever owned. Top notch quality construction, and the Horween leather is beautiful. It gets better every time you wear it. My only regret is that I didn’t purchase this jacket sooner.
The softest leather you will ever feel in your life.
Thick and tough yet incredibly supple. I love how easily I can move, and how comfortable I feel. Will definitely keep me warm all year round.
My only qualm is that it’s a little short; I originally found this jacket used in a medium but it was too short so I ended up getting a size large. I am 6’3, usually wear a medium but a large fit me well with the hip buckles fastened tight. Can’t wait to put some use on this jacket
I wear an 18/37 dress shirt with 46” chest and wide shoulders. The XXL fits perfectly. A 642 size 48 is a little short in sleeves and tight across my shoulders so I’m thinking that XXL fits like a size 50. I wear 34/36 Levis so I’m hard to fit off the shelf. The leather is incredibly soft the finish is not shiny, more of a matte finish with dark grey highlights. WOWED!!
I ordered this exquisite jacket back in 12/21 - was delivered in 5/22 and I have never looked forward so much to the cold as I do right now. Description on is website is accurate, but perhaps an understatement of how bad-ass this jacket is.
My last leather jacket, of a much less premium brand, lasted me about 15 years and I wanted to find a premium product that would last at least that long. Given my assessment of the craftsmanship, materials, and reputation of Schott, I am certain I got the right jacket.
Customer service was highly responsive, knowledgeable, courteous, and patient with me as I worked through sizing questions and an exchange to get the best fit.
If I can think of any improvement, it would be if they offered a true 42 instead of a 42-44/L. My build is 42" chest and 32" waist and I am looking for a slim fit. I tried squeezing into a M, and although it fit better around my waistline, my chest is too broad. The L fits perfectly in the chest, but there is excess room in the waist. I may see if I can find a leather worker who can take it in.
Buy with confidence knowing that the craftsmanship and service are topflight. I look forward to buying additional Schott products in the future.
I loved this jacket, the thick leather and quality. However, for me, the fit wasn’t quite right for me. I am 6’1” 195 with a 43” chest, and ordered XL (I like loose for layering). The shoulders and arms fit well, I just felt the torso wasn’t quite slim enough feel for myself. I would recommend highly though.
Love this jacket, it is very heavy with thick leather, but soft and no need to break in. The finish is more matte, and almost a dark gray color which I love. I am 6’1” 195lbs 43”chest and ordered XL, which fits me perfect with some room to layer. Large, for me, would have been too snug. A little too warm for the upcoming summer in Seattle, but look forward to wearing in Fall/winter.
