tell me about my new riding jacket??SCHOTT
just order a schott perfecto cafe racer jacket made from horse hide new old stock
price was great, very great, but i know- little, to nothing about company
i checked there website made me feel less CONFIDENT !!!
been around a long time but looks now to be more fashion then function???
I've owned dainese,bates,alpinestars , id say they were more industrial/purpose built jackets,and all nice
my weight gets in the way of my old jackets, so got a new one, now i am worried i will still need another jacket???
jacket use will be spring and fall riding jacket
are they a good solid bike jacket???

A Schott is definitely not just for show. It's for riding and just happens to look great off the bike.
HH is durable as hell and none of the textile stuff made today will compare to its abrasion resistance. The design of a Schott Cafe Racer is pretty much second to none in terms of utility on the bike.
The only thing a Schott does not typically have is amor. (Impact resistance.)
But truthfully, if you really want that kind of coverage, you can buy any number of mesh undershirts that will house the armor for you.
You have a great riding jacket. Not a showpiece.
It's going to take a while to break in. Like months, if not a solid year. But once it does, nothing will cut through the wind and feel as natural on the bike and off it.

They have a forum on their site,buy/ sell/ trade,authenticate,etc. they make excellent jackets that laser forever. I had a bomber from 1976, gave it to friends son, his son will grow into it in a few years......

thanks guys for the info
the more i read the more i am shock i have never heard of this company seams SCHOTT and a company named AERO are at the top of the heap when comes to jackets
i guess I'm not well versed in the fashion world, and yes there prices new on these jackets are high
