Schott 618 vs PER70 fit check.

It seems like you yourself can tell the 618 fits better, so why the question?

I think your point is kind of doubly sound because the XL in a PER70 corresponds to a size 44 618, yet it's still wearing bigger to you than a size 46 618. The leather of the 618 is also going to develop a more interesting character, whether you're getting it in steerhide or horsehide (618HH).

The 618 size 44 was way to small on me not even close to the per70 xl. I wanted opinions which looked and fit better on me so I can go ahead and sell one. Thanks.

I wasn't saying that to mock you–rather, I was emphasizing that your instincts about which pattern works for you are correct.

No need to be so aggressive, especially with someone who's agreeing with you. Seems to be a running issue with the Redditors who join here.

I was not trying to be apologies! You have a interesting point for character on the 618hh though didn't think about that point.

It depends. you’re a big tall dude you can wear either one. But the 618 has the better silhouette imo. it can be even better if you’re willing to lose an inch or two off the waistline. I would keep the 618 and start adding more steps into the lifestyle.
