This is a catch and release of a nice Schott Type 3 in tan cowhide. Size XL, which is 44 equivalent. This is a lightweight jacket that leans more fashion than motorcycle. It can easily be worn sprint to fall.
Shoulder - 19.5”
Pit to Pit - 23.75”
Sleeve - 27”
Length - 26.25"
Waist = 22.25"...
This is the Branded Garments I scored from eBay that was listed in the deals thread. It's a pretty amazing piece. I'd say the quality is on par with Vanson. It's very heavy. Perhaps too heavy for my lightweight Southern California ass. I'm going to wear it today, but I may list it in Classifieds...
I'm not sure this is a amazing deal, but it's a pretty damn cool vintage Vanson rough out Type 3 for a decent price:

on this forum, unless a piece is from one of the most coveted brands or particularly rare, jackets typically sell at 50% or below of retail. schott is a great brand, but not the most coveted here.
$155 shipped conus.
Regarding the fit, I would compare them to the following boots/sizes:
Trickers - 9.5 UK
Alden Indy - 10 US
RM Williams Craftsman - 10G Aus
Lucchese - 10.5 US
White's semi-dress - 10 US
Iron Heart would not be the strong brand it is today without the marketing of Iron Heart International. Their prices are comparable to Freenote, Stevenson, Mister Freedom, Flat Head, etc. and the product is as good. I see this as well operating relationship between manufacturer and sales team...
the 40 looks great, you made the right choice. I've tried on the cafe racer version of this jacket at Self Edge and thought it was amazing. congrats on the purchase.
Excellent condition Schott P571 unlined black cowhide cafe racer. Jason Schott calls this his "indoor jacket" in the Stridewise Schott videos. I love this piece, but feel I'm the size between L and XL. And since I just booked a vacation to Japan in December, I'll get a replacement there. More...
Like new condition Ranch Road black leather engineer boots in size US 10.5. Made in Spain. 8" shaft, 1.5" heel. These are good quality boots that would be great starter engineer boots to see if the style works for you. Leather lined, very comfortable. Ranch Road has gone out of business, but you...
You have beefy arms to fill out the sleeves well. I just sold my FiveStar type 3 because I gave them bad measurements and the sleeves were baggy on me. You nailed your proportions.
Since visiting the Lewis Leathers shop in London, I've been thinking about the Iggy Pop jacket. I love the jacket's style, comfort, practicality, and light weight. However, the leopard print and painting on the back are a little loud for me. I would like recommendations on other jackets/makers...
