What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Will Zach]

Monty just came in. The quality of HH is just unbelievable on this jacket, just as @tmitchell59 said. Boxy 1950s design, but this one is staying, I just love the leather on this one, and it has this old-timey feel to it. I will post more pics in the dedicated Monty thread.

Still really like Schott’s stripped down interpretation.

Perfect fit. Love a double rider without the epaulets and belt.

That is perfect! Your best Fivestar yet.

A bit more roomy than my go-to T-Shirt-fit, but man - such a nice leather! Himel for the win.

Cleaning off my porch for movie night, trying to give this jacket as much wear as possible, but it’s completely unnecessary…I’m really curious to see how gray it will become. Basic black jacket. No need to push my luck any further.

What movie?

What movie?

The new Bond flick. Haven’t seen it yet and it hit prime. Then I’ll watch the 3rd episode of the Boys when wife and child are asleep. That one, not for them. LOL.

I am not so eloquent as some of you folks with a review of your jackets but here is my attempt. I have been on the hunt for a Schott 118 and after quite a few non starters for various reasons I finally found one I could purchase. For general information for the Schott jackets (pre-owned) a person needs a decoder ring to decipher sizing. For example the jacket can have the correct size but depending on decade will fit vastly different. I find my size and the measurements look good until I get to the body length and it’s a 23” jacket, yet it’s a size 50. bizarre I say. I need a 26” jacket with 25-26” sleeves, that brings me to the most current pattern they use. Then there is the fact I am not a small human and it compounds the search. As my Dad puts it, my jackets probably take a whole cow to make. In good fun of course.
So the jacket that landed in my lap is big, like 52 long big as my size does not come along very often with all the correct criteria being met. I love the naked cowhide that Schott uses in their “One” series jackets, so soft and luxurious in the hand, very heavy but easy to wear. It’s long on me in the body but I like that, sleeves already have a ridiculous stack effect for being born in 2018. Still has that new car smell and came with original Schott branded hanger. Sleeves are a bit long and if I decide to keep it then I may explore having Dena work on them.

The sleeves look a bit long on your model but otherwise it is great and in very good condition...

I love my Schott 118, it looks so good. All these ladies'"wow" looks i catch on the street when i wear it are almost embarassing !

Thank you! Relatively new. Bought from a fellow-lounger. Like it more and more every wear.

I have been searching for a modern 118 for awhile, I feel in love with the naked cowhide of my 141. I only buy pre-owned so it is certainly a journey to find one that somewhat fits me without going custom.

It took me four years to find a 118 second handed at my size (a rather common size : 38), and I found it a price which is still pricey for a second handed one (600 €). But... The condition was almost new, so no regret ! The 118 are not the easiest Perfectos to find second handed, and I don't buy Schott jackets new these days as the USD/EUR is very high. The size is perfect for me. The 118 has always been the more relaxed/civilian jacket of the classic Schott Perfectos. I don't mind the length at all...

Enjoy your jacket !

Speaking of Perfectos, I wore my 618 today. I swear it's black and not grey. I need to work on my picture taking.

All this talk about 118s and now I'm wanting one again for my Perfecto collection. Glad you found one @Viking752, looks good.
