Schott leathers are excellent quality for the price. Taking the precision of the stitching and the grade of the leather into account, you can buy a superbly made leather jacket for $500 to $700. These jackets are enough to make even Bandit cry.

Here's the classic Schott Cafe Racer, its made in heavy steerhide, and it's cut in a slim fit.

It's perfect for autumn and early spring. When I'm not riding in the winter, I just wear it casually.

As for boots, I'd recommend IRs (although they aren't zippered).

This. So much this.


I actually bought a ToJ double rider as per /fa/'s recommendation. I paid around $800, like a moron. When I received the jacket in the mail I was enthused--the jacket looked great. But that initial moment of satisfaction was washed away by the inconsistent stitching along the sleeves. A closer look revealed the cheapness of the leather. I think they used a second-rate calfskin, on top of that, they dye was patchy in a few spots.

Needless to say, I was pissed off (mostly at myself, but also at /fa/ for recommending shit products). I bit the bullet, and sold the jacket for $700 on eBay. I used that money to buy a far superior Schott 644 (I decided I wanted a jacket with simpler styling). I am happy with that purchase and I'm not gonna look back.

The jacket is durable as fuck, too. The damn thing's made of steerhide. I actually slid, while riding, in the jacket. The steerhide saved MY hide.
