The Classic Schott Perfecto radiates attitude and undeniable coolness. The classic Perfecto 613 one star is the original Leather Motorcycle Jacket that defined the standard. The 613 has a slim, and short fit which comes in Steerhide or horsehide in a 25 inch length.
The Model 618 is the same as the popular Model 613 with just a few subtle differences, namely the 618 has Schott logo snaps and no stars on the epaulets. Also has snaps on the collar and back for an additional winter collar.
The Perfecto 118 has the same features as the 618 with a more relaxed fit. The 118 is the only jacket out the three that has a relaxed and roomy fit. Offered in both 26" (Regular) and 28” (Long) body lengths. The 118 is the only model that comes in cowhide for a more comfortable and relaxed fit.
Leather/Model
613: Steerhide or Horsehide
618: Steerhide or Horsehide
118: Only Cowhide

The 613 *does* have under arm footballs. The 613s does not. The 613s is an inch longer in the front and has longer sleeves. Which kind of stinks because I prefer the shorter cut body of the 613 but without underarm footballs like the 613s. And I am only 5’9, so the long 35.5” arms won’t work for me!

had the 618 for 5-6 months now (i know that's not long). It's my first leather jacket. Wanted one since i was a little kid i'm an adult now. Very happy with the purchase. What I love about this jacket is that (and i got the black one), I thought having a leather biker jacket would look great and badass but not professional or preppy or debonair. This jacket actually looks both- it looks badass and then it also at the same time looks debonair. When i have it on, often it reminds me of like those people on horseback wearing the preppy style clothes. Makes me like this jacket that much more cuz i love both styles- the badass biker look as well as the preppy look.

@@alanv3185 Jesus, I can't say one frickin' thing without marginalizing a group. I'm a big fan of Schott. If you look on pretty much any video of a leather jacket review (specifically Schott), you'll see a bunch of ambiguously sexual comments from dudes. I recall on a boot review video I saw a comment along the lines of this: "Do they creak? Just wondering because when my fellow leathermen and I get together, we like to just party in our boots." Shit like that. Nothing wrong with it, but it scares a man to see such things below a JoJo meme. Also, if you watch any Schott perfecto review, I PROMISE there will be some bitch named Samantha Morton (I think) asking about Levi's jeans. Every time. I've been tracking that cunt for months now.

My man out here spreading knowledge ! I remember asking you for advice on your other video about the 118 sizing. This one helps me even more : if you can wear a 36 with a hoodie, considering we're the same height + you have a slightly bigger chest + I don't wear hoodies ever, I should get a 34 to get that nice slim fit. Also a 618 size 36 is almost identical to a 118 size 34 measurement-wise, except for the body length, which means it would indeed be the best fit for me. Now I just need the money :)

@Scentedstyle 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks bro, I really appreciate it. Considering you have a bit smaller chest from me, the measurements are on point for the type of style you’re going for. Size 34 in the 118 will give you a perfect fit. I wish you the best and hopefully you’ll have one soon.

@bclaydon1 3 жыл бұрын

Great video! The underarm footballs make a huge difference in comfort, and a marginal difference in how baggy it looks. It's good to be specific about which models have the football. The same is true for the bi-swing back panels. It is difficult, but possible, to ride without these features. These are some of the differences between a 'fashion' jacket and 'real' biker jacket. But, get what works for you, I can ride well enough in the slim-fit Per70 w/o the footballs, but it would be better for me if the Per70 had them.

I’ve watched this video at least 10 times. Until I finally pulled the trigger on a 618. Using your advice on going for true size for 618 I bought a used size 36 from Japan in good condition and I must say the fit is SPOT ON. Not too tight where it constricts movement, but fit enough to compliment my slim figure. I’m 5’9 approx 145 lbs with a slim but athletic build. thanks so much for this video and helping me choose a jacket With history that I will love and enjoy for the rest of my life 🤙🏽

I love Schott jackets and have had a few. My chest MEASURES 36” and it’s a good firm slim fit with my 618 if only wearing a single layer underneath. But if I put on an inch over Christmas it lets me know! I have the 118 in 36” too and like the more relaxed fit and extra length on occasion: it’s a better fit than a 618 in 38. Also, although the 618 feels more tailored on, in photographs it’s hard to tell what I’m wearing. definitely investigate the 118 if not sure between two sizes.

This is an excellent synopsis of the various Perfecto models. Schott needs to simplify things, in my opinion. This is confusing as hell for buyers. Having owned a number of Perfectos (and I am old), I can recommend that people not go for this skin-tight look. If it is snug in the chest, it will not loosen up, and you will just never wear the jacket. Get something comfortable and you can wear it for life. Sizing mistakes are very expensive.

@saxenas 2 жыл бұрын

would you say that if there's tightness in the upper bicep area when wearing the 618 perfecto while moving you arms around, that the jacket's too tight? i sized up two sizes and still i have that problem. The problem alleviates somewhat if i lift my sleeves up a little bit which gives a little more room in that top bicep area.

Hi, I love your videos.. I'm 46.5 chest and went with 46 slim even though Schott's size guide says 48 on the standard selection .. It seemed a little snug at first but I'm noticing that it's slowly breaking in.. I'm more concerned about the shoulders being too narrow but the seam is about 3/4 inch over the shoulder point on each side.. I didn't want to chance the 48 cause i didn't want it to be too baggy.. should i still get the 48 or just stick with the 46. Thanks

The Schott Perfecto hands down. The boda skin is extremely thin, compared to the Schott it feels like a thin plastic bag. Boda skins is worth about $200 max any more and it’s a ripoff. They source and make the jackets in Turkey but on the jackets all you see is England flags and Manchester labels. I use to think boda looked better but surprisingly I get more random complements on the Schott.

My 618 just came in today. While it’s not “heavy”, I definitely wasn’t expecting it to fit so snugly even 3 sizes more than my usual 41” chest. As mentioned in the video, the leather feels stiff (yet comfy?) although it’s slightly hard for my arms to exert full mobility. Raising them up feels like I’m lifting invisible dumbbells. It seems nice enough for me to lounge in up until Spring season but the jacket is definitely not something you’d want to wear for more than an hour in mid-late Summer. If Schott could make a perforated version of the 618 or 118, then it would be the best damn jacket I’ve ever worn in my life. 10/10 purchase

@saxenas 2 жыл бұрын

i'm in the exact same position as you. i'm a chest size 41 as well, just got the perfecto 618. Tried three different sizes (42, 44, and 46) and the size 46 was the most comfy for me which is 2 sizes above what my exact size would be. And like you, it feels stiff yet comfy? (i'm questioning that as well). and it's also hard for me to move my arms full mobility, i feel discomfort in the top of the bicep area especially when trying to move my arms around. But i find that if i pull my sleeves up a little bit then the tightness/discomfort in the top bicep area alleviates somewhat. Do you have that problem as well? I'm wondering if it's just the way the jacket is cut and that's why it feels tight in that area, or if i need to size up yet again. It's my first leather jacket and i'm only used to regular winter coats where i didn't have that problem.

@@saxenas I have a 44" chest and ordered a size 44 618 HH. It is somewhat restricting when zipped up.

I do think the 44 probably looks better than the 46. I am hoping it continues to break in more. Some days love it other days I kick myself. They are strange jackets.

@@NewarkDevil66 I'm a chest size 41 and kept the size 44 which is pretty much perfect for me. Just hoping the front of the shoulders loosen up a little more as it breaks in. Only have had it for a month or so so it still has a ways to go. I've heard of plenty of people who went with their exact chest size instead of sizing up one size, and it worked out great for them. But for me it was too uncomfortable. The general consensus of the leather community is that leather doesn't stretch; it only molds to your body and then it's easier to move in. But i've also heard that certain areas of the jacket do open up with time, like the shoulders. So i'm keeping my fingers crossed.
