618HH

Protected is how I feel like a armor of horse power
Coming into the store is way more satisfying than the cloud
Might never need another jacket ever

This is my second 618HH. I ride and I don’t leave
home without it. My first 618HH is definitely
showing signs of wear, about 15 years old and living on Maui I’m always in the salt air and that’s hard on everything!! I’ve looked at other jackets
but I think they are all trying to imitate
The Schott Perfecto, anything else would just be a disappointment. Looking forward to breaking
in my new 618HH.

TLDR: worth every penny, I will be passing it down to my son.

Bought the 618HH to wear on my motorcycle, not as a fashion piece (though it is definitely gorgeous). I used the size finder to get the right size (a "regular fit" so I can layer underneath when it gets cold out). What an amazing jacket! Old fashioned design and tailoring at its finest: I thought it would be for cold weather riding only, but as it turns out the double breasted cut of it funnels and flows air better than my perforated textile jackets and when it is chilly, I just zip it all the way up and the back and arms are long enough to not leave gaps in riding position (Triumph Speed Twin) while the front is short enough not to bunch up or drive the neck into my windpipe (IYKYK). Yes, as advertised it is stiff AF out the door, but I can feel it moulding to my body every time I wear it.

It was one of my most wanted items, and finally got it! Size fits me perfectly, excellent quality of materials! Like it so much!

I have a brown 618 and wanted a black one. I was utterly torn between the steerhide and the horsehide, the look is quite different. I am truly glad I went with the horsehide. Having broken in a natural CXL horsehide I knew how lovely it is broken in. Just wearing it often is getting the break in done, albeit gradually, but it is super comfortable. I used the fit tool and it suggested a 46 for my 60+ year old 5’9” 184# 42-43” chest. The standard fit will allow a shirt and a warm layer, but it does not look oversized. Don’t fear the break in. Buy one if you’ve a notion. I would still like a black steerhide, as if I need it, but that may be a 613 in a 44 for a t-shirt fit. 2 thumbs up for the 618 HH.

I already have a 613SH HORSEHIDE side 38 Standard Fit but feel like a little bit rather relaxed fit really good and gorgeous. I purchased 618HH size 36 Slim Fit for me 5'9 / 128 lbs/Chest 35" making me feel so good too with 618M BLACK Collar. FIT GUIDE works well. Fit Preference does matter.

You can’t beat the classic, sleek appearance of this jacket—it’s a true motorcycle masterpiece. Stiff at first wear, it gradually develops beautiful creases that mold to your life and movement. I have a 39” chest and own two 618s: the brown steerhide in size 38 for a slimmer henley fit, and the black 618HH in size 40 for layering. The versatility this jacket offers is unmatched.

The Schott 618 is the icon—the All-Star. This jacket is truly amazing. The leather quality is top-notch: very stiff at first, but once it breaks in, it molds to your body like a glove.

For reference, I usually wear a size 38 in the 618. My chest measures 39 inches, I’m 5’10”, 140 pounds, with a 30-inch waist and 18-inch shoulders. This time, I went with a size 40. The extra inch of room all around really helps in the shoulders and makes movement easier, especially in horsehide. Steerhide tends to break in faster, but horsehide is a bit tougher and takes longer. I followed the size chart for this purchase, and it worked out great.

The 618 Perfecto is definitely a must-have for leather enthusiasts. I own several leather jackets, but this one truly stands out. The quality of the horsehide is exceptional, it’s worth going the extra mile for. It’s definitely stiff at first, but that’s part of the charm. The design is classic and timeless, making it a standout piece in any collection.

This jacket is awesome!! It is stiff as others have said, but is already loosening up. The sizing was perfect as I followed your recommendations.
Of note: I bought this same jacket in 1987 and had I not gotten taller and chubby I could still wear it. I wore it nearly everyday and it still looks fan frink’n tastic.

Amazing quality and craftsmanship. A+

This is exactly what you read about, a very shiny, stiff jacket that has all the potential in the world to be molded to your body. Size 46 fit me perfectly (6', 190). Personally I like the basic liner, makes the jacket less bulky and not nearly as heavy as I expected. I know the color will change but I'm embracing the stages of the new look and what it to come as it fades and ages!

Absolutely love this jacket. Schott staff were very helpful in determining the right size.

I've received more compliments for this jacket in just a few weeks than any other piece of clothing I've ever owned.

Highly recommend!!!

First off, most important tip for everyone choosing a jacket on this website: the sizing here is spot on. My exact measures translated into a jacket that fits like a glove.

It is beautiful, shiny out of the box and stiff as hell, but its a jacket that needs to be broken in.

I bought this mainly to wear while riding, and it inspires a lot of confidence. Could not be happier.

This is my first Schott 618 HH and I love it so far. I've had it a week and yes it's still stiff after wearing it every day, around the house, even doing light work outs to break it in. On the train to NY, I got several compliments. It's heavy, shiny and????????

Jerri & Denise provided exceptional customer service. Happy with my 618HH it is an excellent quality jacket.

Buy it true to size. They recommend going up a size but it fits perfectly with my slim frame. I'm a 34 and I couldn't be happier with how it fits. The pictures don't do it justice, the deep black will take your breath away. Badass all the way. No wonder rockstars chose this jacket! The craftsmanship is unparalleled. Thank you Schott!

Quality of the product overall is amazing.
I had previously gotten the size 38, but it felt a little too large in the back (I’m 1,83m tall and weigh 65kg, 36” in chest) and then decided to get the size 36. The fitting is better, but the shoulder lapels are way too large and look disproportionate, it seems as if they use the same length of lapels for all jacket sizes. I now feel indecisive whether to keep a jacket that fits well but makes me look weird on the shoulders or keep a jacket that doesn’t look as trim from the back for my body frame but looks good. Also, shine in both jackets is different. One had a glossy finish without being too shiny (the 38) and the 36 looked almost too shiny, which, if I keep, hope it fades a little bit.

When you want something a bit heavier. Holds you sucre . Makes you feel safe riding. . This jacket has a very sexy cut . Im a perfect 42 … but 44 is the size for me. The leather horse hide has a great shine and breaks in quickly. You’re going to love it for your collection. Excellent workmanship quality and value. For sure years of enjoyment ..

I am about a 41 and got a 40. I'm hoping to get back to my pre-pandemic weight. As it is now, the jacket is fitted. However, I can wear a hoodie underneath and still zip it up. The pockets can't be filled since the jacket hugs my body, but that's fine. The quality is amazing. I'm pretty happy about the sizing.

Two critical comments is the Schott tape was a bit torn as maybe a heavier box was place on top of the Schott box. The tape makes it known the box contains a high-priced item. The second critical comment is the 2 front panels are not exactly the same -- the right seems not as "smooth." However, as the jacket is worn, this difference will probably go away.

I'd like to get the 641HH or another horsehide jacket in the future.

The jacket is even better than on the photos on your page. The quality is outstanding. First I was a bit surprised by the price however when the jacket arrived I understood well that it is definitely worth it. H0rsehide is great, esp for upcoming fall/winter with a black sweater below it should be quite impressive.

One of the best wardrobe decisions I ever made. I'd been on the fence about getting a classic biker jacket for years, but when I saw this one, I knew it was mine. The leather is soft, crisp, shines impeccably but is sturdy, tough and rigid. The embellishments pop visually and are made to hold up. I recently got the collar accessory and can't decide if I like it traditional, or if I like to embellish my embellishments (the answer is both). To top it all off, it seems to be working some magic on the ladies too. I get lots of glances, smiles, and compliments. I'm not telling you that last part to try and impress you, I'm telling you because of how impressed I am by the people at Schott NYC. It's everything I ever wanted from one of these jackets and more.

I already have a horsehide 689H, and I love it, so I couldn’t wait for this 618HH. This new one will be for motorcycle riding — with the fake-fur collar I recently purchased from Schott in the winter — and the 689H will be for more traditional pursuits and socializing. (I can’t believe I wrote that with a straight face.)

I have more than ten Schott leather jackets now, and a few dozen leather jackets from other brands (especially Harley-Davidson), and this could be my favorite — either this or my new 111 Perfecto in navy blue cowhide. For reference only: I’m 6’0” tall, 225 pounds, with a 46” chest and still have an athletic build with no belly (yet). I wear a size 46 suit and sport coat, and a size XL in most other brands’ leather jackets, like Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle jackets. I went against the Fit Guide on the Schott product page and instead of ordering the recommended size 48, like my 689H and my older 118, I went with a size 50 with this jacket because I read the 618 has a more fitted profile. Also, Schott made it clear that the fur collar for a 118 or a 125 should be ordered a size larger than the jacket itself so the snaps will match up. I am SO glad I ordered the larger size. It fits perfectly and has room for a hoodie underneath.

The only surprise is this 618HH measures 27” from the base of the collar to the bottom in back. I expected it to be. 25” but I prefer this longer jacket because I wear these jackets for daily riding, not for fashion. The chest on this jacket measures 50” (25” across from armpit to armpit) and also at the waist — there’s no taper. Surprisingly, my older, size 48, 118, which I bought used, measures around 49” at the chest, 46” at the waist, and 25” from the base of the collar to the bottom in the back. It’s more fitted than my size 50 618HH.

The horsehide leather is shiny and stiff but it will break in beautifully. I can’t wait.

Really glad I visited the San Francisco store, I was able to compare each of the Perfecto options they had in stock. Once I put on the 618HH, I knew my mind was made up.

I'm 6'0 and about 150lbs, normally fitting nicely in a 36. If you're looking to put a layer in besides a t-shirt, take Schott's advice and go a size up. The 36 was snug - looked slick, but I knew I wouldn't be able to layer into it.

I ended up taking a 38, the fit feels perfect and versatile. The 618 lands right where I want the length of my leather jacket.

The horsehide selection is A+, beautiful cuts that are consistent and luminous.

I absolutely love the sheen of the horsehide leather on the 618HH. Denise was so amazing, as I returned the 613H and ordered the 618HH, and had Denise add the stars on the epaulettes. It came out amazing, as I really love the "one star" look. The steerhide is nice, but it was too matte for my liking. If you are thinking between horsehide or the steerhide/cowhide, the horsehide is the way to go.

Great jacket, but it really does run small. I'm a 37 and had to go up to a 40 because the 38 was just too tight

If we were talking about anime, the 618hh jacket would be what the protagonist wears in his/her ultimate (strongest) form!

Absolute perfecto!

This is the second 618hh I have: one size 40 for layering during the colder weather and one size 38 for just over a T-shirt during the warmer months. Either way, it can be badass and/or super chic!
