I wear a suit size of 36 Regular, and my normal outerwear is literally denim jackets. I like the silhouette and material and it is better than polyester or nylon jackets (for me anyways).
I have contemplated on getting a leather jacket and am dead set on getting a Schott 641 or 141. The unique collar band and the large single back panel, visually "cut up" by the biswing arms is so aesthetically cool.
I can only find 641 steerhide and 141 on eBay in 36s and 38s.
I had measured both of my Jean jackets and one fits looser than the other. The 2 measurements that varied was p2p and sleeve length. 1.75" wider and 2" longer.
I don't want a super form fitting leather jacket but I noticed from some listings the 641 has a 1" shorter sleeve compared to total length of jacket. So with the 141, if it is 25" in length the sleeve length would be 25" or so, whereas the 641 is 24 length and maybe 23" sleeve length. How this affects the look of the jacket, might make the jacket look less cropped. I do like the cropped look of leather jackets as most mall brand leathers have weird lengths that make it look crappy.
My shoulders on my jackets can vary between 17.5 and 19 and it doesn't feel or look too much different. It's the p2p and total jacket length that can cause a jacket to fit well or fit like butt.
