That's a perfect fit man, literally. Looks easy to wear and cosy as it gets, Toy's McCoy know exactly what they're doing.
Thank you , kind words indeed.
I am very pleased with the fit and the jacket overall (especially as it was my first Japan auction purchase).
I feel that it has a varsity kind of vibe, I have also like that aesthetic but being an mature Englishman I did not feel comfortable wearing one. This ticks those boxes and many more...

A vintage Marco Serafino jacket with a Knox Twenty fedora. Found jacket about 10 years ago at Goodwill for maybe $25.

Ok, for $75 all in I am very happy with this jacket I took a chance on. Vintage, police-issued (NE city) HH HB. With the snaps on the side for access to police gear. Lining is perfect. One patch removed on sleeve but I can live with it. And it fits well.

Edit- Just finished applying Dr. Jackson’s Hide rejuvenator. If Dr. Jacksons’s is wrong, I don’t want to be right! Stuff works.

I have given a slightly lukewarm review of my schott 654 when I received it last week by fedex...

Well I wore it today the whole day and all my worries about it have been blown away !!

This jacket rules and the size adviser of the Schott Website was on spot for advising the S size.

Yes, it's tight but very confortable, waaaayyyy more confortable than the Aero Board Racer and it's strange shape in the collar and the arms.

Like most of the schott 6XX i've own before, it's already breaking in pleasantly in one day and it is only a matter of a few more wears before it gets definitively confortable. The fit is tight, but not too much, i was able to wear it with a tight breton jumper(and a bruised rib), and there was no problem ! The jacket is beautiful, I feel good in it. Very, very pleased !

Schott did it again !

Can I have some opinions on the fit of this jacket? I'm second guessing myself, because although I love the fit and closeness to my body, I think it looks a little long in the torso. I have unusual body proportions (short legs, about 28" inseam at 5'11-6'0), not sure if it's the pants or what but I feel it makes my torso look a bit elongated and my legs a bit stubby/stumpy.

Thanks all!
