Legendary USA Black Stallion is Back

[Aloysius]

So it's been $1299, $839, $859, and now $888.88... Interesting.

Size differences. Bfd is a 36.

Is this the same size? The different sizes are priced marginally differently

Exactly.

Hmm. All sizes are showing $888.88 for me, except for size 54 which shows $885.00. And Size 56 is priced back to $888.88, haha.

 

[Aloysius]

Looks like they went for an average price so that the large sizes and small sizes were priced identically. Seems reasonable.

Ah it’s definitely changed then, a few hours ago the prices were different based on size

Jacket looks great and you guys are hyping it. The sleeve length in my ideal size (42) looks a bit short for me though as I usually go for a minimum 26" sleeve. I also have a sears oakbrook d pocket on its way to me so it's probably best to slow my roll, haha.

Remember that the shoulders are wider than a normal jacket so calculate the sleeve length accordingly.

Bro I'm trying to convince myself I don't need this! Do you think the shoulder measurements go to the end of the red or green arrow?

This is a great looking jacket, though I think I’d prefer the standard Schott sliver zippers over the antique brass. I’m having a little trouble with the size chart. A size 42 has a chest width of 24 and a 44 has a chest width of 25?? I’m thinking I’ll just nail the bottom hem and hope for the best.

I’m not sure, but it shouldn’t matter either way–the number you want is sleeve + ½ shoulder, to get the sleeve length from center-back, which gives me 35” on the 42, so it should match up to a standard 42.

I think that’s the best approach for this style. I went 42 based on the hem.

Anyone know what the fur collar is made of? Is it actual mouton, or is it some faux synthetic? Assuming it's the same as whatever the previous releases used.

The previous Legendary/Schott mouton collar was actual mouton, so hopefully this one will be too despite the aggressive pricing.

I had Schott make me a mouton collar for my Perfecto and they really do source an excellent mouton.

Still shows $1218 for me. Not sure if it’s defaulting to CAD or not. Must be

The thing about this leather is that you need to wear it. It goes from looking plain when new to having unrivalled break-in and grain development. The current Schott horsehide, broken in, looks like a real (yet pristine) vintage jacket

This is exactly what I thought. It absolutely reminds me of vintage HH. The feel, weight and grain are all a spot on match to the golden era hides. The good ones. The kind you hope for. Haven’t pulled the trigger on a 689 yet. I’m on a different trip I need to see through first.

Either it’s Canadian dollars or you’re on the webpage for the previous edition, which did retail at 1299.

This is the correct listing.

If you haven’t by fall, I’ll check in with you before I visit the factory sale and I can get ahold of one for you. Worst case scenario is about a quarter off retail, if you just ask them to bring out a stock item. If it’s on the racks, it’s more like 50-70% off.

I have some experience with the Schott 641hh and I found Legendary’s measurements to be on the generous side in their description of that style. Schott also seems to try and move people up a size on their horsehide jackets so I ordered a 44 Stallion for my 43 inch chest. I used my last 15 percent off on their Reed horsehide vest (which probably warrants a post…it’s pretty awesome) but found a 10 percent off elsewhere online!

Helpful! I did double-check with Legendary that the 42 has a 20” hem, so at least in that case it should be accurate.

Yeah they have a 10% off coupon (VETS) running this week anyway, so even people who aren’t first time customers can get a discount.

Yep, same price at $1218. It must default to my location and CAD

It’ll be amazing if most of the sales of this are to Loungers. It’ll become the official TFL jacket. @Viking752, @Mysteryo, @Guppy and @AmericanIron get precedent for already having it.

@dannyk was looking for one of these as well I believe.

Schott’s regular horsehide is described as “ imported horsehide. Legendary says The Black Stallion is Front Quarter HH.
Does that Have any significance?

It’s the same front quarter horse hide. They have to specify imported on their site because it comes from Italy whereas their cow/steer is domestic.
