Schott jackets are a great value over time, but yeah it would bother me to have emails go unanswered. My wife however had a very positive experience with them via phone when calling about an actual vintage Schott she found on Poshmark; I suspect that they’re old school enough that the old ways still work best with them. Thank you for this review; I’m glad you made it/I found it as the 596 made my shortlist as I save for my first Schott.
Thank you! I'm glad your wife had a better experience with support. The jacket really gets better with age and I definitely don't have any buyer's remorse.
I enjoy your reviews! I definitely need to work on the way i present myself & the products like you. You do a fantastic job. Inspiration for my channel 🙏🏼 keep up the good work. Although I feel like schott to me is on the lower tier when getting into high quality jackets. Some people think 900$ is the most you should spend on a jacket but there’s a whole new world of quality leather and craftsmanship when going with brands like Thedi, rainbow country, field leathers and even aero leathers.
Thanks Ryan! Schott is the first high-end leather jacket I’ve ever purchased and it’s been great to wear. However, I have spent some time drooling over the jackets on the Aero website and hope to pick one up someday.
Hello sir, that jacket looks great on you! I'm sure the jacket is beautiful and worth the money. I bought Schott's cafe racer 530 myself 2 months ago and love it!
I've been looking at the 596 too so the timing of this review is crazy. I was debating between this or a racer like the 530 (I'm 31), but I think in the long run I'd appreciate the look and versatility of the sheepskin/regular collar. I'm also gonna need to order a medium and large to compare as well lol. Jacket looks good on you!
Thanks! I heard on Stridewise that it’s normal for a jacket to stretch to about a half size bigger over time. That really influenced my decision. Also, the large was just huge on me.
Hey Lee, awesome video! The jacket looks perfect on ya. I have found the same thing with their website, not enough info and the pictures just don’t seem up to par. Not receiving a reply would really bother me. I love these high quality goods but customer service is super high on my list when I’m spending hard earned money. Thanks for the video, I’ve been eyeing Schott and this has been super helpful!
Great review for an exceptional jacket. The initial price may be steep but the quality and style you will be able to pass it on to the next generation.
I like the a2/ bomber leather jackets more bomber jacket, used to have a thrifted leather jacket years ago that was not schott but it made me love the a2 style but lost that long ago. This style doesn’t seem bad either seem to have mix a modern cafe racer look but look more retro with the collar which I dig. If I were in a budget or mood to get a new leather jacket I might get schott’s a2 or cockpit USA a2.
I’ll be 49 next month & YES, I want a leather jacket! I prefer jackets with an actual collar & really dig the modern fit flight style jackets, which are more for our age bracket. I’ve been eyeing the Legacy, Maverick & the Cognac color Driggs from Buffalo Jackson.
@@StrayReviews Cockpit is awesome but they are out of the price range that I’d be willing to spend & I do prefer a more modern fit. Merry Christmas, Lee!
I have that very jacket. I’m in Ireland. It wasn’t cheap getting it from America,but boy it was worth it. An amazing pice. Yours looks really good on you.
i think schott is pretty good value since its a premium leather jacket, when you compare schott to other premium leather brands they are actually pretty reasonable... its pricy in absolute terms but not in relative basis which should be the benchmark imo.
Great review! I’m strongly considering this jacket! Is it truly that great? And is it a more snug fit? I typically wear XL but wonder if I should do a large. Lastly does it have nice weight to it?
Thanks! It's a pretty great jacket. I wear it as often as I can because I'm looking forward to it conforming to my body. I'd say it's a snuggish fit on me. But, I was watching a Stridewise video, and he mentioned that Schott jackets tend to stretch out about half a size over time. I would definitely use their fit finder. It worked out for me. Yes, it has nice weight to it. I could probably take out my cat if I threw it hard enough at her. 😆
@@StrayReviews Lol. Ok! Fit finders never work for me and I feel like I should still go get measurements just in case. I tend to wear my leather jackets in summer and winter, but I like my jackets to have weight because I’m a bigger guy. Plus I typically like to layer (maybe a leather vest with a nice shirt) so I go for my average size. You should do a review on Coronado leather vest! I just messed myself all up and spent close to 2k on 5 vests lol 😂
Hi Thanks for the nice review! How is the condition of your jacket after a few months of wearing it? I ordered one and it arrived today but I have to say it already scratches if you are only looking at it and I'm afraid it will look already beat up and 20 years old in no time. What are your thoughts on this, or is it just the style and intention of the look of this jacket?
Thanks! There's definitely a lot more variation in the color, especially at high touchpoints like the shoulder from my backpack. I guess it's supposed to develop a worn, vintage look more quickly. I suppose I could always apply a little Otter Wax if I want the color to deepen again. I just don't want to darken it too much.
Thanks for this video and all the information content. Awesome jacket love the whiskey tone color "luggage" 596 Rancher looks unique love the West Rancher Trucker jacket style. I have a similar the Trucker/Rancher BUFFALO 🦬 leather jacket 545. Real similar is heavy and love the leather is so tough and rough. It's making me want to get the buffalo bison leather jackets from Schott the 463 DELIVERY JACKET and the 594 NAKED BUFFALO BOMBER JACKET. 🦬🐃 Love the bison/buffalo leather thickness. West Coast Rancher Trucker STYLE goes with my persona. Saludos amigo buen video.
I came very close to getting the delivery jacket instead of this one. I really wanted that extra inch and a half of length. If it came in brown, I probably would have landed on itt.
@@StrayReviews @StrayReviews saving money to get the P613S in Burgundy. That's my dream jacket. Is $1,315 but is going to the coffin ⚰️ and 🪦 graveyard with me. Felt in love with SCHOTT jackets. I guess it is the quality overall. After I get this one I will go for the 463 Delivery Jacket. The P613S is made from a collaboration of Horween Leather Tannery a Leather Chrome Excel product made by Schott a Motorcyclist Jacket . For my personal opinion is the best one out there for Motorcyclist
I have this same jacket bro. I'm 56 and feel it works well for us older guys. I love mine and it feels and looks only better with time.
Very nice! I’m looking forward to this one breaking in and developing some character.

Great review for an exceptional jacket. The initial price may be steep but the quality and style you will be able to pass it on to the next generation.
True! Thanks Neil!
I struggle between the 596 and P673 then went with the P673 and didn't regret it. Heavyweight leather that age beautifully.
The P673 is gorgeous!
Gee THANKS! Now I can’t decide between the 2.
How is that jacket holding up
@@AxelFoley-sb5re Great! Had it on today.
@@AxelFoley-sb5re Even better now that there's some wear and tear marks on it. Also the thick leather has soften a bit over time.
nice review. don't let the age thing get in the way. you look great in that jacket!
Thanks! I appreciate that!

What’s that Henley? Love the buttons.
This jacket fits great on you Btw.
Thanks! It's a Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Henley

That’s true. Since Schott was the first premium leather jacket I bought, I experienced a little sticker shock.

Torn between this one and 545!.. Any recommendations?
Wow, tough choice! One of the things I like best about this one is that I can remove the sheepskin collar on warmer days.
@@StrayReviewsthat helps, thanks! Wonder if there is any difference in a fit.. I’m 5’9” 160lb athletic, prefer to have a fitted look..
@@kindcarver We're pretty close to the same size. I wear a medium. I hear that these will stretch about a half size in time too.
@@StrayReviews I bought it! Went with S, it’s perfect! Thanks for a good wholesome review.
@@kindcarver Excellent! Thanks so much!. I can't wait for it to get cold enough here to wear mine.

Is the 596 a heavy jacket?
It's just over 5 pounds. Heavy enough to knock my cat over if I throw it at her. 😾
@@StrayReviews lol that so funny. Thanks for the reply.
OMG the website…spend money on an IT guy schott
Yep. Definitely needs an upgrade.
Who cares what fashion so called experts say to wear. WEAR the jacket you like…
Truth! I sure like this one!
