Monitor.....love the jacket. Does it fit more like a 141 or a 641 in your opinion? Also, is the HH thicker than Schotts regular HH or does seem the same?
Thank you! I have only tried a 141 once and this CM1 doesn't fit anything like it. I don't think it's much like a 641 either since the latter is basically a sized down 141. The closest I can compare it with is the 60's CR that I have. Very vintage-y fitting. Hourglass shaped, slim fitting. 22" P2P and then you have an instant drop to 18" around the waist. Zero belly room. It is 21" at the hem again, and the shoulders are 17". Size down and I wouldn't be able to wear it.
The CM1 HH is definitely thicker than the HH my 618 was made. Smoother and much less shiny, too. Less character to it as well but I'm hoping that to change. I have been told that the CAF1 line is made from the heaviest hide Schott has, and that Confederate Motorcycles specified the best HH available so... Yeah, it's heavier. It's pretty much the same in thickness as Vanson Model A comp. weight albeit a bit more pliable.
