    Schott B3 Authenticity Check

    Good to know. I've got a shop down the street from my house that carries these, but it's a very stuffy place and they pretty much ignore anyone who isn't in their 50's and brooks brothers head to toe etc. I guess I'll have to make the trek over there and talk my way into trying on a coat that...

    Schott B3 Authenticity Check

    Haha that's a good point, though I'm certain my temps will be the perfect company for a coat like this. One last question as well, what does your chest measure and what size did you order in the B3? How is the length of the jacket? In many pictures they appear very wide and very short. But...

    Schott B3 Authenticity Check

    Good eye Carlos, definitely some unique differences. My research into B3's is not nearly as extensive as I've done with perfectos so I'm not certain whether those differences were standard as designs changed over the years etc. Could very well be the case. I've got a vintage 618 which had many...

    Schott B3 Authenticity Check

    Hey guys, looking to purchase a Schott B3 as a recent trip to Illinois left me in my Black Stallion in -4 weather and needless to say it did not stand up to the elements lol. Looking to confirm that this is indeed a Schott B3, but that's difficult as the seller does not have a tag on the...

    Schott CHP horse

    Point taken on the gussets, perhaps these CHPS jackets were never meant to have them, still would be concerned about mobility though, depending of course on how much back room was left. They've got a more reasonably priced (and also non gusseted) version here...

    Schott CHP horse

    Popped back over to the lounge to see if anyone had started a post on this jacket yet haha. Easily the nicest jacket I've seen from Schott to date with regard to materials and styling. That being said, I don't understand why they insist on leaving the bi swing back gussets out of these...

    Information on Schott 645 car coat in dark cherry, pls

    With extremely minimal searching on Schott website it looks to be alpha sizing (S, M, L) so they don't have a 40 per say, but if I had to estimate (which you will if you decide to purchase this jacket) I'd say a 40 would be a Medium, being that I wear a 42-44 and am typically a Large. That said...

    Anybody own a Schott Black Stallion? Thoughts on it?

    Figured I'd repost this shot of me in the Black Stallion to illustrate the waist size with belt fastened. I left my shirt untucked so you could see where it ends as it's difficult to notice the contrast again dark denim. On background I'm 5'10" 185 w/ 36" waist and 43" chest. Needless to say the...

    D-Pocket leather jackets

    +1 on the Legendary Black Stallion I picked one up at the end of last season for $520 after discount codes were applied. The grain on it is just beautiful. Plus as mentioned the handwarmer pockets in the back are fantastic, my girl always slips her hands in them while we ride, also can use it...

    Anybody own a Schott Black Stallion? Thoughts on it?

    I once owned a 1928 model for a brief time, though it was only acquired in a trade with the intention of being sold off. I found that jacket to be cut about as generously as the Stallion, but with shorter length and arms. Can't speak for the horsehide version though, which could have been cut...

    Anybody own a Schott Black Stallion? Thoughts on it?

    It does seem odd that this jacket gets little to no love, for the price (I paid $520) I can't see anything that comes close with regard to value. Only annoying thing about the jacket is figuring out what to do with my left hand when I'm walking around lol Also worth nothing that despite how...

    New 501s question

    I own the Levi's 501xx 1947's and the Levi's 501 STF model. The difference is not in the waist height so much as the thigh and knee width. The 1947's are much slimmer through the thighs to the point of being uncomfortable for someone with muscular thighs depending on how you size. They are...

    Anybody own a Schott Black Stallion? Thoughts on it?

    Yea it does suck that they discontinued it, especially since Legendary seems to have replaced it with an order of 613HH's. If you're size 42, 44 or 46 you can still snag a Stallion on sale for around $550 on sale. I also plan to have snaps added for my fur collar attachment, hoping a local...

    Anybody own a Schott Black Stallion? Thoughts on it?

    Hey guys, been gone for a while and I hate to revive a dead post but I did promise to keep you guys posted on how this jacket breaks in. It's been in my closet for a while during the summer but I just broke it out again last week and figured I'd snap a pic as I think I'd find a unicorn easier...

    Anybody own a Schott Black Stallion? Thoughts on it?

    On another note, I'd really like to add a snap to the inside of the rear of the jacket (identical to those on the outside which hold the belt) which would allow me to fasten the back of the jacket around my belt. Does anyone have any ideas for the best way to go about doing this? Could I just...

    Anybody own a Schott Black Stallion? Thoughts on it?

    That's a good point monitor, and could very well be the reason why I don't see it noted specifically on the product description. I did see on LegendaryUSA that it was listed as Front Quarter so perhaps they both are (Stallion and 618). Definitely is nice to own both the traditional style and...

    Anybody own a Schott Black Stallion? Thoughts on it?

    Unfortunately I don't have a micrometer so I can't say for certain that the hide is thicker, but having had the opportunity to break both in side by side I can say with certainty that this stallion is much stiffer and also feels a tad bit heavier. The stallion is heavier in weight due to the...

    Anybody own a Schott Black Stallion? Thoughts on it?

    Sorry to revive this old thread but there's been an update. Continuing my in my indecisive ways, I ended up trading my old 613 for a 75th anniversary perfecto which was in new condition. This new jacket wasn't nearly my size but I knew I could flip it for more than I could flip my used 613 so I...
