Great story. The Wife's jacket looks nice. I've seen opinions on Schott all over the place here over the years, from some who sneer at them and do them down unfairly, to others who, IMO, occasionally exaggerated them. I tend to find they fall in as good, mid-market jackets. Over-priced in the UK (though everything US made always seems to be overpriced here, especially with the value of the pound in freefall these last few months), but very decent jackets. On balance, the Aero MC type I've owned was a better jacket by some way, imo; certainly worth the extra GBP150 it was over a new 618 at the time (currently, the Schott seems to be equal or a little higher in price, depending where you shop in the UK). By no means a bad jacket, however (of the two, I'm holding on to the Schott and selling the Aero as the cut of the Aero is wrong for me - just far too neat in the waist, whereas the Schott is boxier).
Irrespective of whether the Brando Strabelr jacket was a Schott or a Durable, it surprises me they've never thought to do even a special edition that reproduces the specifics of the screen-worn jacket (with or without the BRMC colours).
