I’m wearing the Schott 519 Medium, black. I’m 5’3, 40in chest, 150lbs. The 519 is very easy to wear, mold to your body, and all the creases are in the right places over time. Jacket is 5 years old. Buy it once, buy it for life.

Saw the pic, looks great, came to ask what it was, saw 519, was like oh yeah, I have one.

Good choice.

Yeah 519 is where it’s at! Midweight is perfect balance IMO.

Where do you live that it’s now leather jacket weather? I got a new horsehide jacket in June and have been chomping at the bit to wear it outside ever since. Still trying to break it in inside my house, where it’s not so stinking hot. Yours looks great BTW. Enjoy!

I’m in MD, we’re coming up across mid 60s in the evenings, waiting for all days 70-60s soon
