519

Nice jacket

Great Jacket although... careful consideration as with my build -
Height 6'
Chest 44"
Waist 33"
Arms 17"
Shoulder to shoulder width 20.5".

Advised by SCHOTT to size up as I kinda lay between the two sizes. Good advice, thank you SCHOTT NYC.

The large fits me well in the mid section of the body, But tight in the shoulder width and therefore uncomfortable.

The Extra Large is boxy in the body mid section (Relaxed fit) Although this will be good for layering.
Most importantly, Shoulder width is perfect and therefore extremely comfortable. No tightness divets or bite.

"Shoulder divots/bite:
These are indentations or creases that form at the top of the sleeve seam near the shoulder, indicating a fit issue"

Most of the models wearing Jackets seem to be way too tight. Personally I prefer comfort with a street relaxed fit edginess. My 519 fits like the images of the Style; PER70.

The 519 is a FAB Jacket and the leather is just the right amount of soft and weighty. The Goldilocks zone ?

The difference between this and every other leather jacket ive ever owned is huge. Schott are in another league.

Highly recommended.

Great looking jacket. Amazing leather and great fit!!!

Perfect jacket . Top notch quality. Quick delivery . I was hesitant at first due to the high cost , but that quickly went away when I put on the jacket for the first time . I’ve purchased many other high end luxury jackets but this will be my go to from now on.
Thank you and my pleasure to write this review .

Hands down best jacket I’ve ever owned. I highly recommend it! Fits true to size.

This is my third jacket from Schott. It is absolutely beautiful. I am 5'10 175lbs with athletic build. I had to go with the large due to my wide shoulders. I love the slimmer cut of the 519. The quality is amazing. Made in the good ole USA.....2imho just get a Schott, there are no substitutes.

A must have for your collection. The perfect jacket always fit feel and quality . Great value for the price .

Unparalleled quality and craftsmanship. If you want the best leather jacket, you have to go with Schott. There is nothing else that even comes close.

I’m 5’9”, 160 lbs, 37” chest, 32” waist. Small fits like it was made for me whether worn open or zipped and belted up.

As others have mentioned it’s snug around the gut and belt and while I expect it to break in slightly with wear, it’s hard to imagine someone who sits tight in 34 Levi’s will be comfortable in a small.

IF you are like me, with a long, slim torso for your height you’ll find the back flap is long enough to cover your midriff and belt, but still short enough to elongate your legs. That’s right boys. It even makes you taller.

I’ve owned many motorcycle leather jackets over the years. Vanson, RSD, Dainese, Alpinestar, but nothing even comes close to the 519. I wanted more of a fashion leather and that’s why I choose the 519. I’m 6’1 185lbs with a 32 inch waist. After reading all of the reviews I went with a small and I’m happy with my choice. It is tight and hits just at my belt with the sleeves landing just passed my wrists. The more I wear it the more it conforms to my body. The medium would have been ideal if I wanted to layer, but since I won’t be riding much in this coat I’ll only be wearing a tee shirt underneath it. The leather of this coat is like a velvety butter, so soft but thick. It just begs for you to put it on. The 519 is unlike any coat I’ve owned. I’m looking forward to many many years with this and it will only get better with time. So happy I pulled the trigger. I’m sure customer service was sick of me but they are extremely helpful. Even though I went against their judgment and got the small lol.

But not the last. 5”6 128 lbs slim profile. My size is small. This jacket is truly slim and a perfect form fitting jacket. The quilted lining keeps me warm in Chicago winters. The brown color looks more radiant in person!

Like the last reviewer named Patrick, my name is also Patrick (but I’m not the same guy reviewing twice). I also bought it in black and brown.
* I did my online research because there’s no store near me to try this on.
* I chose the XL and it fits. I am 6 ft and 205 lbs. 37 inch waist. I wear size 44L (sport jackets). XL is snug on me, but not too tight. If I had gone with the XXL my guess is that it would be too loose and sloppy.
* I chose the 519 because of the leather choice (thick but supple).
* I wanted the longer length (27 inches), and I didn’t need football armpits.
* Plus the 519 has the “one star” on the shoulders which is iconic. (Brando, Joey Ramone, Elvis, etc.)
* I bought the black first, then a week later bought the brown.
* Note on the brown color: My 519 is a nice medium “warm” brown. It’s not as dark brown as the images show on the website. It’s not dark brown and it’s not tan - the color is somewhere in the middle. The brown seems to want to show scuffs more than the black 519. I wear the brown more often because I want it to get banged up.
* I now have six Schott jackets: 740 (leather version); 530, 121, and 2B3 (shearling). My guess is I’ll be buying more.
* Thanks to Schott customer service people for their help with my many questions along the way.
* I highly recommend the 519 to anyone looking for a great and iconic leather jacket.

Bought TWO. One black. Then a couple weeks later, I bought the brown. Crazy, I know… but the fit was just right. And it’s hard to find a good fitting Moto-style jacket. Nice leather feel. The brown actually shows wear almost immediately. So I’m looking forward to how it will look after a few months of wearing it. I’m 6 fit tall, and 200 lbs. 44L in sport coats/suits. XL fit me perfectly. If Schott made this in blue or red or green, I’d buy another one!

If I could I would have rated 4 and a half rather.
So I finally purchased a Schott jacket last week, I don't know why I've waited this long to buy one (I'm 52). I wanted the one star, so I had to decide between this one and the 613, after trying them both in a store, I purchased the 519 because I prefer the cut (it is longer and have no footballs), however I prefer the 613 leather type but you can't always get what you want...
This jacket is dope but why not 5 stars? Well first thing I noticed is the absence of the "made in USA "flag tag replaced with a basic "made in USA of imported material" one. The outside might be outstanding but the inside is not too thrilling IMO, I would have preferred something like the one you'd find in the 626 for example. The inside pocket is kind of cheap, but that's the retro look I guess. Last but not least, the collar snaps are there, the collar attachment should be included with the jacket!
That being said it is a cool jacket, Perfecto's are second to none.

first of all I ordered it to europe and got the jacket in 2, TWO days!

The quality is it if this world, from the fit to the leather. soft yet strong, feels amazing to touch. I love everything about it. fit wise, I usually rock medium to large jackets here in Europe however a lovely lady from the customer service advised me to get a Small. it fits perfect, I can wear it over a t-shirt as well as a hoodie and it’s not too loose nor tight.

hands down the best clothing purchase i ever made, thank you Schott for making me feel like a million bucks!

This jacket is dyed through aniline leather. It is a mid weight steerhide. It is very SLIM fitting and is not forgiving of a beer belly. It is long, about 25 inches in the back. The arms fit close. There is only a flap for a sleeve wind flap, but I find it comfortable. It does not wad up. I take a small. I am a 38. It fits best with only a tee shirt. It works best at about 60 degrees and no wind. I don't ride. The sleeves come down to my wrist. I am five feet nine and weigh about 140.

At first I was hesitant to buy this product since I am in Australia. Worried about the sizing since all brands confused me with their sizing. Buying outside USA is costly since we have to pay the shipping and the import tax duty. I'm a 5'4 guy unfortunately, According the sites size information for me it really needs some improvement. You put your height, age, weight, chest and fit preference and it gave me small size option. The costumer service on chat are professional - I have nothing to say about them. When I received my Jacket - Completely I just can't compare it to my other leather jackets. Superb jacket - I just wanna wear it right away. Unfortunately, the small size was too tight on my shoulder and can't barely move my arm. Returning it would cost me so much, since I'll be paying for them to send the correct size too. I'm glad that the small size fits my dad, like it was built for him. My Dad after having it for few days - he won't stop talking about the jacket how people gives him compliment. I purchased another one but this time I chose the 626vn as it is already broken leather. I hope I got it right this time. I chose the Large size since the Small 519 is equivalent to Medium 626vn. Schott is a great company with history which I love about and I hope they can add other options ideas on sizing. If I was living in US it would be on problem but people like me living outside US - for me I find it hard to get the right fit. Anyways I can't wait to get my 626vn in a week. By the way - I just wanna say thank you to Denise - who gave me advise with other matter such as refund when I double order the jacket. If ever I go to US one day - I'll be visiting Schott store as one of my dream. hehe

Schott was just introduced by a friend and said check them out. I had been dealing with Denise and gave her my measurement etc. I was advised to choose either small slim fit or medium regular fit. I am a short guy 5’3 so chose small slim fit. The item came super quick to Australia.
I fell in love with how the jacket was made. I can’t even compare it to my other leather jackets. The only downside was, when I tried the jacket I can’t barely move my shoulder, it was too tight - also I was unable to zip the jacket.

Returning it to US would cost me a lot. Luckily my father had the same height as mine but he was 62 kilograms. I asked him to try and it fits him with no problem - now Dad had the jacket for less than a week and he won’t shut up talking about the compliment he gets lol.

I am aiming to get the 626vn but still deciding if I should go for large size. I’m doing the mate in size: The 519 Small, too tight on shoulder for me - I am assuming that the 626vn Medium is equivalent to Small 519? Therefore I’ll get the large for 626vn.

I am 5’3, weight 76 kilograms, chest is 40 inches and should 18 inches. I believe the 519 small slim fit had 17 something inches which was tight for me. I’m just

I wish one day Schott would consider a shop in Australia.

It took a while for me to decide what jacket I liked the most. Already owning a light weight sheep skin leather jacket.

I ride and have some good leather jackets for riding as well. A race jacket with full protection and one that is more casual.

For an every day jacket I want a heavier jacket, close to a riding jacket but without protection area's.

So I was choosing between a 613S and a 519. Went for the 519 because of the belt holder and slightly longer back length. Although mine is half an inch shorter than in the specs but the overall fit is perfect!

I am 6 feet tall, 178lbs, 41" chest and the M fits great. Not too tight but snug at the shoulders and body but there's room for a sweater. Looks great when open and closed.

Had some help from the very helpful support and read a lot of reviews about sizing as I cannot try them on in the store because I live in Europe.

I ordered mine from the Schott Italy store to not have to deal with import costs.

The quality of the jacket:

I will be very honest because I've seen some quality in real riding jackets as well.

At first, the design is very beautiful, the thickness is just what I wanted. A medium heavy jacket which you won't find with other fashion brands but it's certainly not a riding jacket in my opinion.

The craftsmanship is great on the outside and inside of the jacket but I was a bit surprised how the sleeve ends are fold and stitched on the inside. Not so beautifully finished as other parts of the jacket and stops my shirt and watch from sliding out of the sleeve. Also the inside of my belt strap shows some fuzzy leather excess along the stitching. Could be just my jacket but it is quite in contrast with the rest of the jacket.

The body area looks and feels insulated but the sleeves are not, which makes the arms a bit colder.

One thing other people mentioned as well are the loose flaps of leather at the sleeve end zippers. I have to adjust them every time I put on the jacket, otherwise they will be folded.

Overall I am very, very happy with my jacket and it looks and fits awesome!

Actually I would have rated this 519 4 3/4 if it were possible.. It’s up to Schott’s high standards, otherwise I wouldn’t have bought it , if I had any doubts. My only quibble is the lower right side hold down snap is an inch too far left n low , causing said flap to not lay flat when zipped up 2/3 of the way. Who knows, maybe it’s designed that way ? Eventually I’ll get a local leather shop to correct this.

After receiving the 257s model with the fantastic quality and style, I knew I had to get a proper perfecto jacket as well!

I was having a hard time choosing between the different models, but I ended up with two models head to head in the end, which was the 626 and the 519.

I'm 6’2 so I wanted a style that are a bit longer due to my height, especially when you’re buying online far away from US! I did choose the 519 just because I think it looks slightly better and I feel the 519 are more related to the old perfecto jackets.

I was afraid that the jacket would be a bit short, but the fit is spot on. I bought a medium, and could probably fit a small as well for a slimmer fit. But medium fits me great! The length is perfect for me at 6’2.

The quality is simply amazing. You can tell right away that this is the real deal. I have owned many leather jackets over the years, also from well known brands, but Schott is by far the best.

Looking forward to the years to come with this badboy!

This is the coolest jacket I've ever owned! The first time I put it on I couldn't believe how well it fit and how utterly badass it looked. Sure, it's a little pricey but trust me, it's worth every penny. This is definitely going to be my go-to jacket for the rest of my life. I am 6'2, 200lbs and I purchased a size medium.

Style 519 in brown. I ordered this in a large and when I received it, it was too small. Fast shipping. I returned it for an XL and received it quickly, return was very easy. The XL was too small as well. These must be for a trim fit. I am 5'10" and 200 lbs. So, I ended up returning the XL as well. So I ended up without the jacket, but the customer service was above and beyond what I ever expected. I would recommend Schott to anyone looking for a quality leather jacket. The coats were well made and of excellent quality.

I've wanted a brown leather motorcycle jacket for years, and after giving up looking at cheaper alternatives, I saved up and finally pulled the trigger on a Schott: originally, I got the 626vn in a Small, but I found the sleeves to be a tiny bit long, so after a trip to the NYC store on Elizabeth St. (Keith was super helpful, attentive, and patient as I tried on several jackets and and told him what I liked and didn't like), I decided to swap the 626 for the 519 in XS. I absolutely love it. It fits like a glove (literally, it feels like wearing a baseball glove), and it has that thick, sturdy feel, like the jacket will live longer than I will. It's heavy enough for NY winters, with enough room to layer a hoodie or sweater under. I'm a small guy, 5'8 and 125 lbs, and I like clothes that fit snug. The XS fits me perfectly, it's square in the shoulders, and tight enough without restricting movement at all. I couldn't be happier with the purchase, which is great, because I was really looking forward to it. This is easily the most money I've ever spent on an item of clothing, and it feels totally worth it. Thanks Schott, for making such high quality products and for your customer service.
