The new Schott Shinki Horsehide P642H

[Madhouse27]

Schott seems to be on a pretty good roll as of late. I’ve liked all three of their latest offerings.

I just saw this in a Schott email.. I dig it. Nice hardware and 2 way zip is a nice touch, the only thing that bugs me would be the open sleeve gussets.

For a CR I really dig it, Schott has been dropping some banger lately indeed!


Cheers

“Teacore crust” has an awful ring to it

Looks cool otherwise

These pics (and info) were from the Facebook introduction and there are a few things that are described differently on the Schott website. One was the gussets. The actual Schott site says “Leather sleeve flap behind sleeve zippers”. Is this “flap” attached to only one side? If so, that seems pretty weak for a jacket that otherwise should have some motorcycle cred.

Another conflict was the back length which I’ve seen printed as both 25.5 and 26 inches (both a bit overly generous in my opinion).

Looks to be expensive.

I have a 641HH cafe racer and really like it, one of my favourites.

Personally I find 2 way zippers harder to get on with and more vulnerable to failure over time.

All that said and done it does look lovely.....

I like it. Would be better at 24.5”

24-24.5” is also the sweet spot for me with most jackets.

I almost posted about this when I got the email but figured someone else would so here we go.

Seems like this is pretty close to what people have been asking for in all the previous threads about the Shinki Schotts–a jacket that is a mainline Schott (in this case the 141) done in Shinki, rather than a new design. I'm impressed that they kept the quilted liner, too, and (to my eye) an improved version with the tartan cotton.

I would be tempted to buy this but I don't really wear cafe racers. Even so it's a tempting proposition.
