The Lewis product is presented like no others. I used to be addicted to the thrill of receiving a Legendary USA Schott box, & see & smell the neatly packaged jacket inside a plastic bag with hanger. You get the feeling you received a new jacket. My first Eastman also came with a nice package, nicely folded, with a swatch pallet, a paper bag (don’t remember). Then, Aero, a bit of a shock, when the box is square & the jacket just sits in there. Of course, you can’t beat the Horween aroma but the packaging of Aero was nowhere as nice as Eastman-or Schott. Then I bought a Levi jacket from Union Made. Came with a “cement/grain” bag, thought that’s really cool & vintage. The Lewis presentation is just the best, strong grain bag, plus a plastic bag, & a poster!! Only wish it has a Lewis hanger.

@regius Yes, Yes, YES!
I did not think the “Elvis” was that far off from looking fantastic. I think having it modified to your liking would be my preference too.I didn't want to conclude my journey without the Elvis, but the way mine was sized, just, didn't work out, but, after I mailed it back, Aero refused to take it back and refund, only credit with a $100 fee. After much weighing, I decided to keep it (so asked Denny to send it back once he received it), a lot of pain in the butt but i will give it another chance, if still not right, I'll send to Alan to trim the waist. Apparently, I requested an additional 2" for the waist circumference.... and it turned out to be for someone with a 38 jean size... so, I could sell on ebay, it's really good for someone with a bulkier build, or, live with it. It's not that bad as some say here, ESPECIALLY AFTER LOOKING AT THE "ba***rd" JACKET fit photos, that guy seems also to be swimming in it, so, I wasn't too far off. He has longer legs and bigger chin, so the balance was better....

Fyi this is on sale along with a handful of others on schotts website I just noticedWho knows about the Schott 673? Sizing and fit, specifically. An idle browse happened me onto this, and I think it looks fabulous.
Obviously you know I usually prefer a cr, but my goodness this looks like some kind of a thing. Schott's sizing recommendation suggests a Small for me for a slimish fit, and I'm spot on a 40 chest.
How about for riding? Looks pretty sturdy in the photos, but that's just photos.
Exactly ! Usually "Made in the USA" is prominent and obvious. My current Schott collection (5),very obvious in all of them.
