Might be a silly question (but that never stops me) how tall are your bars? Maybe if your elbows and arms are lofted the jacket rides up more than normal??

They are 12 inch, but moved towards me, so my arms are horizontal and even with my shoulders.

I'm on my second Schott jacket. First one lasted almost 30 yrs.

I didn't add any bullshit conditioner, I just wore it. It will break in to fit like you, and if you ride and wear it a lot, it doesn't take long.

When it does it fits like a second skin molded to your body. I'm assuming any high quality leather jacket would yield the same results.

I love the jackets. Just need it not to ride up lol

I am going to start with the zipper and see if that helps. Otherwise, I will need to have them do some serious adjustments. One thing I know, it could be a little tighter around the stomach area.

We’ll see how this drama plays off.

Hmmmm, that reminded me why I don't go to church anymore........ A few years ago I came home from church with two black eyes, OL asked WTF happened so I told her...lady knelt down for communion when she got up her dress was kinda stuck in the crack of her azz, I figured she didn't really want it that way so I reached over and pulled it out.. she whacked me in the right eye. I figured she wanted it that way so I pushed it back in and she cracked me in the left eye. I stay away from church now too....
