Legendary USA Black Stallion is Back

[blobsterroll]

so Legendary was under new owner ship recently

It appears so. Nov 2022 based on Legendary's website. Last I bought from them was Nov 2020, and it was a great experience.

This makes a ton of sense. So the founder was an enthusiast, and then this crook bought the company in 2022 and immediately embarked on a strategy of cheaping out the product line and marketing through outrage.

That explains the contrast between the older and newer stuff, as well as the difference in customer support I got in 2021 compared to now.

I'm wondering if this was just a money laundering front for the crook.

I was thinking the same thing.

I’ve bought four items from Legendary and have done some reviews on their site but I’m done with them. Got off the mailing list and unfollowed them on IG. There were some behavioral red flags in the responses to paying customers during the Stallion debacle, but the immaturity and pettiness of the Schott related posts were just pathetic. I’m embarrassed that my name is on their website endorsing anything that they’re doing.

Holy crap what a turn of events!

It’s funny how the change of ownership and the nature of the owner explains it all.

The smoking gun.

Thanks for the reveal. I didn't want to believe that the whole company I bought my first Schott from decades ago had turned to sh1t, and now I don't have to. Not sure if realistic but I hope the company gets rid of that guy, cleans up their act and gets together with Schott again.

It's a shame in which direction this company drifted away! But I have to say, I had a jacket from them produced some years ago by Schott but it was a catch and release matter, the leather was horrible, felt like plastic and unnatural.

Ha, Legendary USA is now selling a knockoff of the Schott 141/641 under the name Beck 732.

(The Beck cafe racers were a very different design.)

Looks like a 90's edition Marc Jacobs mall issue jacket to me.

I concur Ton

Beck back in the day was bought by Schott. This is NOT made by Schott, as Legendary is no longer an authorized seller of Schott jackets... probably because they went with a different company to produce the latest run of the Black Stallion.

The Beck 666 jacket didn't have a center seam down the back. Having a center seam on this jacket makes it NOT a Beck 666 pattern. And it doesn't look like they did the shoulder gussets right, either. Toys McCoy's Beck 666 reproduction is light years ahead of this, and yeah more expensive, but at least you get a good jacket for the money.

So, not a Schott-made, not a Beck, not a 666.

The leather looks cheap.

I just today got an email from Legendary USA, to make sure I didn't miss out on this one. So they also don't honor unsubscribe requests to get off of their mailing list.

The whole thing is just sad, but starting to become almost funny.

I totally agree
