Schott Style 618 in Brown Leather.

[PeterRocco]

Just received my 2016 Made Schott Style 618 in Dark Brown Leather. I have owned the same jacket a few years ago but sold it was too small. This one is larger a size 52.
Really nice like new condition with no scratches or wear. It was a little dry in spots don’t know if previous owner got it wet so I very lightly used my Pecard Brown Leather Conditioner. Did a Great Job. I usually use Bick 4 but decided on the Pecards.
The only thing is I wish the belt buckle side had the snap to hold onto the jacket like my Style 626. Think I might send to Jerri over at Schott Repair Dept. I have sent other jackets to them with perfect results.

Looks great Peter! I have a 618hh down at Schott getting the snap you mentioned and a new collar. Jerri is a big help!

Good find. I’ve got one in black HH. Also looking for a brown one myself. They don’t come up often on the used market. You did well.

Thank You. I love SCHOTT’S Horsehide. I have a style 689H in New Condition in Black.

Jerri made a real Mouton Fur Collar for my Style 602 Police Jacket a few months back. Came out Perfect. I will send pictures when I get back home. I am away for a few days.

I’m actually getting the original collar replaced. It‘s a black 618hh that I bought used. Everything was in really good condition except the collar which seemed quite thin and brittle. Not sure if it was just a bum piece of horsehide used on the collar or if the prior owner used some kind of personal grooming product (rogaine, cologne or ??) but it seemed really out of place on an otherwise spectacular jacket. I took some pics so I’ll probably do a before and after post when it get it back. Jerri was cool about fixing it for me!

Your comment about the mouton collar has me wondering why I just didn’t cover it up with one of those lol.

You made the right choice to have the damaged collar replaced. Yes please post pictures when done.

Resurrecting an old thread. Was wondering how the new collar turned out and if you had pics?

The new collar is absolutely perfect! Easily as thick and awesome as the horsehide on my new(ish) 613sh. Here’s a few before and after pics.

Looks Perfect! Great Job!

Thanks Peter, I was really happy with it! Not that I’m looking forward to asking Jerri for something else, but I’d kind of like to have them replace the belt on this one. It’s almost comically thin and floppy compared to my other Perfectos. Hopefully I can talk her into it. If she agrees, I’ll post how much they’re charging for a (horsehide) belt replacement.

Schott charged me $85 to shorten my sleeves which was beyond reasonable based on some other companies I saw, mind me asking what that new collar cost?

 

[PeterRocco]

I would only send my SCHOTT’S to Jerri. They know their jackets and have the original material.

Not only a reasonable price but turned it around in one week.

I just looked and the check that I included in the box when I sent it down was for $195. That was for the new collar, adding a belt snap and return shipping.

Hey Peter, I just heard back from Jerri. The cost to replace a horsehide belt is $95 plus $15 return shipping. Seems like a great price!
