Time capsule condition, but tiny. Fair asking price for its age and condition.

had my hopes up but it’s an older style with much shorter sleeves, seller very responsive if you are in search of a Schott 141.

So, I am brand new here. Hi. I actually purchased this jacket after browsing this forum. I just hope it fits. I only really wear them for fashion, I don’t own a bike. But I just thought this jacket looked so good. Oh, and I had it shipped to the UK :)
Please do us the favor of posting pics when it arrives, tag me in them too if you would. I went way deep into Briimaco CR's but ironically only had a later one in black. Would love to see more of this jacket.

These are literally mega-Grail when it comes to leather trousers; 30's or 40's German riding breeches & it's a clear example of what I was talking about in the Leathertogs riding pants thread, how compared to European made examples, the overseas ones look like someone's crude attempt to copy a style from memory.

Not crapping on US made pants, once y'all started making leather jeans, the race was definitely over. :D

Anyway, check out the details like leather stitched buttons & wavy decorative stitch line around the waist band - These ain't no simple triangles, the waves could've only been made by manually rotating the pants under the needle. . .

Leather could be either horsehide or cowhide, didn't matter much in Europe back then and I mean look at it!

Either way, I'm really hoping someone nabs these ASAP so I don't have to 'cause I don't wear breeches and would either just have them collecting dust or I'd get them tailored which would be sacrilege.

Awesome. If the waist was smaller, I'd be trying to figure out how to get them to the states.

Almost certainly pushing my luck here with bad forum etiquette (and even more so since I only lurk) but I have this jacket in a 42 if anyone is seeking one. Haven't listed it yet but will be soon. Was given significantly off measurements by the seller and, as such, hasn't been worn by me. Feel free to reach out if interested. P2P is about 24" or perhaps a teensy bit more. Need to get the rest of the measurements and pics.

Take some good photos and the vital measurements and put it in the classified section of this forum. Hopefully you can move it, I have to be particular about jackets I buy as I am not a small human and Schott has changed patterns over the years.

First time seeing a brown Natel.

What a surprise, another eBay seller with no measurements.

It’s so cheap I’d be tempted but the hem is probably 23” and sleeves probably 3” too long for my body.

Schott 418 22" P2P $360 OBO

#418 offered in 1983-1985, then in 1992 & 1995, it was based on the same styling as the 118 & 618 but in the Finished Split Cowhide leather. Johnny Ramone was know to wear a model #418.
