Fits great, looks great. I'm 6 foot at 190lbs and a Large fits perfectly. Worth every penny. Would highly suggest to anyone.
Fit is great.....Looks awesome
Sort of like a 'Gentleman's Motorcycle Jacket'
For anyone around my build I’m 5’5” 150lbs with a 37in chest. From my shoulder seam to 1 inch past my wrist I’m 23.5in. I got a purchased a small with my measurements even though I run a medium but I’m a bit in between sizes so some breaking in will be needed. It fits pretty well the sleeves are perfect landing inch past my wrist. The length ends at my belt line just as it should and the shoulder seams seam to be where it should. This is my first leather jacket so I only know how it should fit through Google and YouTube. It’s a stiff fit when zipped up but that comes with the territory of leather jackets. I think a medium would be more comfortable BUT the measurements would probably be too loose and look off it’s supposed to fit tight. I hope this helps people when considering. Honestly can’t wait for a reason to buy a new jacket.
First off, I am a biker and I ride a lot. I have a whole closet full of leather jackets and probably own 10 schott jackets, so yeah, I am a big fan.
All of my other Schott jackets are XL and they fit perfect. I am 5'11"/215 and ordered a black Raven 213 in XL and it was too tight across the shoulders which surprised me so I returned it and got a 2XL. It fits perfectly except the sleeves are kind of long when not riding. I will wear it awhile and see how the sleeves work out and have them shortened if necessary.
The jacket itself is just AWESOME!!! I have always wanted a riding jacket that didn't have the epaulets, belt and change pocket which I always thought looked stupid.
I love lambskin and this is the heaviest lambskin I have ever encountered, it is so soft and feels broken in right out of the box. I really like the black hardware which perfectly matches the matte black color of the leather.
I have been wearing this jacket a lot since I received it and it has molded to my body and now feels like a heavy shirt, very comfortable!!!
Thank you Schott for another excellent product. This jacket is pricey, but I feel that it is well worth it.
I've wanted a leather jacket all my life. Last year, I bought my first from Schott, and I loved it. I decided to get another, slightly heavier version and settled on the P213. At first I was a little worried because it felt a bit tight.
(I'm 6 foot and well built and weigh about 200).
After a couple of days though, the leather contoured to my body and I am REALLY enjoying this piece. I got it in the Mustang color, which was actually a little darker than it appeared online, and I like it immensely.
Exceptional jacket. Worth the price. I have another in mind to purchase.
I purchased the Storm (P673) a few years back and can't say enough good things about it. With it's weight however, it is primarily a colder weather jacket. The quality of the jacket had already sold me on the Schott/Perfecto label, so when I decided on something a little lighter I knew where to look. The double rider look has always intrigued me but I was put off by all the decor on some of the jackets (epaulets, belts, stars, etc...). So when I came across the Raven (P213), which is quite basic, I was immediately drawn to it. With a little help from the folks at Schott Nyc I selected a L size (my Storm is an XL) and it fits as if it were tailored to me. I won't be wearing a hoodie underneath it (it wouldn't fit). I bought it to wear with t's, long and short sleeve and I couldn't be happier. FYI: I'm 6'3, 190 lbs, 43/4 inch chest, and a 35" waist. My sleeve length is 35 1/2 inches (from the base of my neck). I was concerned that while a L might fit better through the waist, it would come up short in the sleeves. This jacket is cut longer in the sleeves to allow for outstretched arms while riding.
I've spent a few bucks on the two Perfecto's I own and I am by no means a wealthy guy. I've learned though, that in the long run, quality pays as much as it costs. No regrets or buyers remorse here; just a couple of really nice leather jackets. TM
I’ve owned the jacket for the better part of a year now, and remain very pleased with the purchase. The leather comes out the box buttery soft and smelling wonderful and has surprisingly retained said smell even over the last year of wear and tear. It’s lovely.
The color of the jacket can vary a good deal- mine is more of a coppery reddish brown, which I actually find quite preferable to the online images. In some photos it’s a high luster brown, in others a more matte reddish brown depending on lighting. It’s really great. The stitching is of high quality, the leather has a great weight to it- perfect for spring and fall wear, even winter wear with a decent under shirt and thermal combination. It’s quite versatile. The lining is excellent. I am 5’ 9” with a broad chest and wide back, 32-33 waist. The jacket zips up decent through the chest but is boxy in the abdomen, which I’m not a fan of. Now we get to my cons.
There are a few issues I have that perhaps should not be present in a $1k+ jacket, as you are approaching custom pricing in this tier from my perspective. So what follows are a few of the cons I believe a discerning buyer may experience, although some may be hit or miss for others ymmv.
1) The jacket runs long, in both the sleeve and the body. If you tape it and compare to more modern cuts, it’s simply cut like a classic rider jacket. Looks great on the bike, and now that my sleeves have crumpled a bit also looks decent on the arm but. Sleeve rests at first thumb knuckle out the box. The body extends past the belt buckle unfortunately and will blow out when you sit down, which is sort of a bummer. I sized down but the arm holes were cut too narrow and with my build the jacket bunched up poorly at the shoulder. So if you’re my height and somewhat athletic, I’d beware the S even though it fits better through the body and on the sleeve length. I kept the M. The cutouts for the comfort flex back are also uneven, which was surprising at this price point. I measured the leather on both wings and it was materially different which leads to flare on one side while the other lies flat. Not a deal breaker just be aware.
2) No double zipper. Since you don’t have a double zip, when you are seated at an outdoor bar or restaurant the jacket will blow out at the stomach or fold, and ride high on the shoulder. Over a year of wear this has relaxed a bit but one would hope at this price point Schott would have included the dub zip solution for people sitting.
3) The leather itself is a double edged sword. It’s very supple but also extremely porous- this lambskin sucks up water like no other leather I’ve owned. If even a single thick raindrop hits it, it will stain very dark and cannot be removed except with some difficulty. I am nervous to even condition the leather with how much the color has changed at even a slight contact with water. Be aware that you will be checking the weather forecast religiously when you wear this piece, and wishing you had a more versatile waxed finish if you live in a rainy biome.
TL;DR, this is a really great jacket that has a few specific nitpicks that hold it back from being a perfecto, in my opinion. Don’t regret the purchase one bit but might spend a few extra dollars and try for a custom next time- $1300-1500 can get you a lot out there. Hopefully Schott makes some updates on these higher end jackets to keep them competitive.
This was a gift for myself for passing a big certification exam. It's the biggest clothing purchased I've ever made and also my first leather jacket. I cannot be happier with this jacket. It fits perfectly (I chose the slimmer option in the fit recommendation) and looks amazing. The only reason to not get this if you don't want to look amazing and get constantly complimented.
Very nice fit and finish. I just tried it on so it’s a bit early to say how it will hold up. The zippers are heavy duty. The lining is light weight making the jacket fit snug with easy movement. It looks good and fits my 68 year old 5’6”, 180 lb body just right. The sleeves are perfect length when in the cruiser motor riding position. The inside map pocket is generously cut. If you plan on concealed carry, this lining feels too thin. The pocket is big enough for even a large phone. I’m excited to spend some time wearing it to see how it wears in. I have a feeling this will be my new favorite!
