Yes it is. I really love the leather used on these jackets. Gives them an almost luxurious feel.
FWIW, my jacket is a size 34. I'm 5'7 and 136lbs and take a small usually, and took a chance on this one given it was being sold at a good enough price for the risk. As you can tell, snug but what...
Wore my Schott 641XX for the first time in a few months today, and really liked putting it back on. Completely different fit/feel from my Brooks cafe, which is ok with me. And I do like the lining.
I think they did a nice job with it.
Didn’t really need it as I already have two denim jackets but Levi’s was selling this raw on sale for $38 so couldn’t pass it up. Took a chance on an XS but seems to fit pretty well. Breaking it now on a 90 degree day!
Here it is. I like it. Fits well, a bit more snug(plus!) then my Brooks. But I don't think the previous owner wore it much after buying it in Tokyo so perhaps a bit of break in will loosen it up some. But I'm fine with it if it doesn't. Beautiful leather and lining.
Well the seller got right back to me(nice guy!). Here's what he wrote:
"
Here , the jacket is pretty much xs , see picture below for the size,
I wear pretty much small shirts and 32 jeans and this is bang on for my size, it has a gusset so its comfy , it would be boxy if i get the next size...
Didn't think to get measurements. Assumed a 34 was a 34, so live and learn. I've contacted the seller to see if I can get a chest measurement before he sends it off. I did use Paypal. Given that Schott recommended XS of their USA jackets for me(one reason why I decided not to go for the Per41) I...
Well went in a different direction, kind of, and picked up a slightly used Schott 641XX cafe made for the Japanese market. Got it in a size 34 which I'm hoping will fit better then what the small Per41 would've. I say hoping because I bought it online and it will be here next week. But it looks...
As I indicated I'm not crazy about the distressing, but at least in the picture it doesn't look too bad.
My chest is a 35, probably even a 34 if measured for a very snug fit.
I don't know the size of my Brooks, but when measured pit to pit it's about 19-20"(with jacket closed). I have quite...
Thanks for your reply.
Yes I was thinking I'd need XS also, but they don't offer it. I've left a message with their support team. I'm also going to contact the local store here in San Francisco to see if they have any in stock.
Thinking really seriously about biting the bullet and getting one of these. I don't usually like made to look vintage, but this one looks pretty great.
Does anybody here own one?
I'm 5'7, 130lbs with a 35 chest so looking to get a small for a reasonably snug fit. This would be an add on to a...
