Why buy a schott? I sent two emails asking which jacket is most similar to the restoration jacket and got no response. I'll buy a Vanson or an Aero for the same money. Sorry Schott.

I've had better service from Schott than almost any other maker except Johnson Leathers. Gail has always returned emails promptly with information and has even had photos of jackets taken for me because I wasn't happy with the website photos.
Still looking for an XL in brown if anyone is looking to sell. EBay had a black one and I almost pulled the trigger but holding out hope for a brown one!
Also interested in a Belstaff Hero in XXL or XXXL in original Bison if anyone is looking to unload one!
Gail retired. I agree -- she was awesome. The replacement....well, is no Gail.
By the way, usaleatherco seller on eBay could perhaps help you out with that Schott you're looking for...
Bruce, did you try filmjackets.com forum? Occasionally, a Hero turns up for sale there, as it is a very popular jacket on the forum. One in XXL was sold not long ago, for around 1000 bux. The thread's still there. Didn't last 24 hours... Wouldn't be such a bad idea to make a WTB thread there, too, perhaps the bloke who bought the XXL got tired of it and want's to pass it on. Be on the lookout on Italian eBay. I know it's a risky business but I've seen these jackets appearing on eBay.it quite often. Good luck.
Yeah, turns out they've stopped approving registrations which, for whatever reason, wasn't set to automatic. Took me a couple of tries to get approved, and that was years ago, when the site was still active. Jesus, what's with the jacket people - those other guys don't even take public domain email addresses.
Bruce, I can put up a WTB thread for you there and link it to your mail, if you'd like, mate.
