Very cool! Roughly @ton312 's size, but he doesn't like wool.

That’s really cool. I wonder if it could be re-dyed to freshen it up?

For sure. Dye bath would take everything black. I’d use charcoal Gray. If it were my size I’d already have it en route and that’s precisely what I’d do.

A nice small Herc for $200 if you can put up with a hole in the leather... . Too bad, a tremendous jacket with custom piping...:

Did not see that coming. I am feeling pretty good about my own Black Stallion purchase last year.

I was having similar thoughts , jumped from 580 to 1000.

And bidder transaction count is super suspect.

Yeah, that just isn't happening. Really weird jump from relatively realistic $580.

I smell a rat, from the seller to the bidders....I remember seeing the whole size range for $450 on Legendary's site and in both brown and black.

Fifteen years ago, I bought a new size 50 for $450 with coupon in November(sale month).

Yes but now a Schott 618HH costs almost $1000 SRP. We know there are tons of better deals out there to not take the SRP seriously but regular consumer may take the SRP as benchmark for a "special" discontinued model. We also know LW is better but that is over $2000.

The second bidder with (264) was already bidding at $1000.

Yeah that’s a really bad bid at $1K. If I recall these were also under scrutiny for the wool backed HH that Schott was using to level out leather thickness.

Well the RRL x Schott etc "collaborations" are IMO way overpriced but there are still takers. Perhaps the bidder think it is one of those "collaborations".
At the rate Schott is going, I doubt traditional motorcycle clothing stores like Legendary USA would continue carrying Schott's product.

..... aaaaand, gone! Fess up, someone here? If so, would love to see fit pics. And a lively duscussion on how to fix that hole...

 

[Damon141]

This might have already been posted but I didn’t see it.
Sometimes custom made jackets have funky measurements but this Langlitz would fit a good range of people and it’s like brand new.
22” p2p
18.5”shoulder
25.5”sleeve
