Hello!
Been reading the forum for a long time thought I'd post my latest Schott Perfecto.
It's a 613 in size 42.
The journey started some years ago with a 519 large that proved to be a little too snug (I do ride as well) then went to the 519 extra large.
Next I made my way to a 613s in size 46 which was totally awesome until it broke in well enough to feel a bit big. (I'm 6 ft tall about 175 lb, about a 36 inch waist and these days maybe a 44 chest).
Next up was a 118 in size 44 which was so beautiful but I could tell after wearing a few times it was just going to be too large.
So I replaced that with a 118 size 42 and I added a cream-colored faux collar from Schott.
That jacket is awesome for riding even when it's cold plus paired with crazy pants (the latest were white with black vertical stripes and idea I got from lead singer of Foxy Shazam) it becomes quite a cool party hit.
Next I replaced my 613s size 46 with a size 44 which is also now part of my permanent stable.
As it broke in I wished it were just slightly more snug.
I was tempted to get the 613sh as I've read here on the forum that the leather is a bit thicker and could make up for that little extra snugness from the regular 613s.
Instead though I decided to take a chance and go for the regular 613 in a size 42 which is what you see here.
Upon opening the box it was folded in a weird kind of way and the right zipper was not even pulled down.
After the initial shock that the the leather where the right sleeve joins the body seemed a little pronounced and weirdly wrinkled, I just started chillin and over a small martini and cigar decided to put my body in the thing and retrain it from the box or whoever tried it on before and to just wear the s*** out of this thing LOL and make it part of my life like everything else LOL.
Anyway enjoy and nice to meet y'all!
