first off shout out to Arrow Cleaners and Leather in KC for doing the alterations. It's always scary buying something online, even scarier trying to communicate how something should fit. But they crushed it.

This is a Schott James (aka 165). Haven't seen too many posted around here. I wish I would have taken a before pic, but there was something way off with the sleeves. Basically built for Popeye, like a reverse taper kind of thing. Here's a google image pic of it:

pretty much fit me like that. It only comes in the letter sizes, so Large was as close as I could get. I wanted to make it work because I love that Schott 100 series leather. Naked aniline, real gooey, spongey, breaks in easy.

(sorry about the mirror. dogs had a bath yesterday and there's hair EVERYWHERE)

"Basically built for Popeye, like a reverse taper kind of thing" haha. I've always wondered and would really like to see who Schott uses for pattern testing/design. IMO, they come up with some really good visually appealing designs but then fall short on the pattern / size grading work. At least for me and my body shape. Wider shoulders, chest, but trimming waist and sleeves. Though not "skinny fit"

Nice. No wetsuit for paddling, or it did not really help in 10 Celsius water?

Even a thin dry suit. Wetsuit is too hot outside the water. We do SUP as a sport and you sweat a lot. This then results in damp clothing that quickly becomes even cooler in the water. But it's not a big deal, because you usually don't fall for it. Was in the water with this suit for the first time and it's my third winter now *lol*
