European equivalent to Schott leather jacket?

[vkn1]

I live in Europe and would love to get a Schott 641 leather cafe racer jacket. That jacket is perfect to me in every way.

However, they are tremendously expensive here and almost impossible to find used. I could order from the US but then I have to pay huge import taxes.

Can anyone recommend any beautiful cafe racers made by European companies? Something of similar quality and style to the Schott 641 would be just what I'm looking for.

No one has any suggestions on European cafe racer style leather jackets?

Aero Leather in Scotland. Still EU for now.

I think Aero could be a good option. Is Iron Heart European? They make nice looking Goat skin cafe racers. Btw, I have 641hh size us46 for sale in Europe. You will find it in Schotts own forum.

The obvious choice would be Lewis Leathers. Expensive but slightly higher quality than Schott, and arguably has more pedigree. E.g. the Racing Jacket https://www.lewisleathers.com/productinfo.html?code=Rac442

Or the Easy Rider, but ask them to make one without the stripes https://www.lewisleathers.com/productinfo.html?code=jak-69er You'd probably have to wait a few months.

There are plenty of alternatives:

I would definitely look at Aero leather. I live in the U.S. but I bought one of their jackets about 3 years ago and it's fantastic. Very high quality and the choice of leather options/colors/jacket styles is really amazing.

Levis vintage clothing i would assume has cafe racer offerings and eu distribution.

The Vanson Model B has the classic cafe racer look and is a genuine bike jacket rather than a fashion jacket in the style of a bike jacket. The leather is fantastic. Distribution all over Europe.
