slim/small fitting leather jacket
« on: June 06, 2008, 07:29:05 AM »
I've narrowed my jacket selection down to these two

Spidi


vs. Schott


I dont have experience with either, but I'm under the impression both are high end and much more fitted than the current joe rocket I'm wearing.  I have a 34" chest and 29" waist for reference.

At the same price, what do you guys like and why?

also I'll be rocking it on this scoot
 

Thanks,

The Spidi! Italian leather and should be a tighter Euro fit.

I just checked the black version of the Spidi - wow!!  ;D Ive I could afford it thats what I would buy.

Good luck in choosing!

cheers
Andy

Ill vote the other way. Schott. It has the vintage look of the classic skins my father wore in his younger years.

I vote for the Schott.
I have one and like you, I am a tall
skinny person and hard to fit.
Call Schott and they will make a jacket
custom fitted to your measurements.
It is worth going to a tailor to get those
measurements right, no returns on custom sizes!!
