    schott b3 break in question

    so i got a schott b3 in a size up because i like oversized clothing. Now i did have to get 1 inch tailored off the sleeve from the bottom (he did not touch the shoulder or top) but i have some questions about break in first, should it be difficult to lift my arms over my head or to put a hat...

    i ended up buying a Schott b3 one size up from my chest. question about break in, is it normal to not really be able to cross my arms? Also my sleeve rides a bit high when i move my arms to drive or something additionally, the back feels a bit stiff and pulls a bit, Is that normal for a new jacket?

    okay so even if i didn't gain, it would be just fine? It's perfect as is but i am just worried about it post-break in i could of course get it altered but that's expensive

    If i buy a new shearling jacket, if the length down to the waist is fine, can i expect it to remain the same way? will the shearling compress and fall lower? Also if i get a bit bigger in my arms, chest, etc. would that affect the way it falls too?

    Well yes but I'm ordering from outside the US so I have to pay about 150 dollars. I've read on the lounge that it's okay to go up a little due to the shearling taking space but I wanted more opinions

    Getting a Schott b3 and should I size up? I wear a cotton lined b15 leather jacket with a 22 pit to pit and the size 36 Schott is 22.5. is that acceptable? I hear Schott is a bit oversized

    can anyone provide pics of the schott b3 257s in brown/gold?

    so is it normal to be rough and hard? would a new schott be soft or tough? because i am very confused, his other sheepskin jackets were like butter

    Okay that's what I don't get. I thought the skin was literally undyed and just a clean animal

    yes, he said normally 2000 but because he quoted me 1500, that's what he said he'll do honestly i would love to find schott's supplier and go straight to them for the skins

    can anyone provide pics of the schott b3 257s in brown/gold?

    i'm not explaining this properly, his current stock is not the same as he normal stock, and he can get the sheepskin in the photos in a larger amount to make the coat i would love to find out who schott gets their leather and sheepskin from and just get it from their supplier if i could

    Thanks a ton so a couple of things 1. He said it's high quality and he imported it from Toronto but didn't say where it's from 2. The actual leather is rough. Almost like sandpaper. I asked why and he said it was normal and would soften with time but he had stock skins that were buttery smooth...

    also added a few more images if that helps Thanks for the insight but I am a little bit confused. He said it was double faced sheepskin but it feels quite rough on the leather. I did ask today if it was going to be treated or tanned or something to make it soft but he said no.
