Schott horsehide

[HoosierDaddy]

Hilarious navetsea...

it opened my eyes how dangerous it is to wear one on motorcycle, it is 100% highly flammable plastic down to the thread. I know it was plastic, didn't expect it burns that fast, the seller couldn't react fast enough while it was happening in front of our eyes.

May I ask you how you size the 613SH or if anyone can chime in and help with sizing on a 613H as well.

I've got a bug to get a Perfecto One Star in horsehide, used though. Do you size up or would you stick with your normal size?

My 641HH. Many years old, but very little wear on it. Never did like the Schott horsehide...felt like plastic versus every other HH jacket I've owned. Can't even get it sold on eBay! I've had great experiences in the past with Schott, but I won't buy their horse.

What size is that Schott 641HH ? I have a mate here in Australia who likes mine very much.

I actually quite like the way that skin looks.

Just today received my Schott 689H in Horsehide. "new to me" from Russia. I think I'm the 3rd owner maybe ?

Very nice indeed , just a few loose threads , more than I have seen before , may be the previous life of the jacket. View attachment 148139

Any pictures of the loose threads? Did you fix them & if so, how?

 

[mdgnowles]

Every Schott that I've owned has had loose threads on the lining. After all they are mass produced. However those loose threads never caused any significant problem for me.

What about threads of the leather?

@mdgnowles I think you are going to be waiting a good long time for a reply from either of the members you quoted above. The first one was banned for being a jackass (although he returns from time to time with a new username).
