SCHOTT 118 SIZE 44L (1992, New Condition, Altered)

This jacket was advertised as deadstock/new and still had the tags! I couldn’t believe it as I had never come across a Perfecto that old that was brand new, but sure enough when I received it there were zero signs of wear or creases on it anywhere. All the hardware was scratch/scuff free and it smelled fresh out of the shop. I sent a picture of the pocket tag to Jerri at Schott NYC and she confirmed the jacket was manufactured in 1992. It’s a pristine Perfecto in Naked Cowhide from the 90’s in almost-new condition. Worn twice by me only. I had the jacket professionally cleaned and conditioned at LoveYourLeather.ca because it had been in a closet for over 30 years and also chose to tailor it by slenderizing the arms and shortening them (cost me $400 bucks). This jacket has been modified so please pay special attention to the measurements (the arm circumference especially) as the fit will vary from standard Schott 118’s. What bothered me about 118’s was how much extra fabric and billowy the arms would be so the arms have been slenderized to more closely resemble the arms on a 613S. The arms are now lean on me but I also have bigger arms and a wider frame. Oversized on a smaller person or fitted on a tall person, this jacket SHINES! Shoulder to Shoulder - 20” Back Length (from bottom of collar seam) - 26.5” Pit to Pit - 22.5” Arm Length - 24” Bicep Circumference - 16” Forearm Circumference - 13” This jacket is as much a collector's item as it is a wearable piece of art!
