    First Large Investment Coat

    Hey guys, I’m in the market to buy my first proper overcoat. I had a few questions for you guys here with more experience in this department as most of my jackets have been for motorcycles or for work (Ironworker by trade). I’ve been looking to buy an overcoat that can fit the bill for...

    Overcoat Shoulder Fit

    Hey guys, Had a question about overcoat fit for you. I've been looking for a while now for an overcoat to wear over my suit (and also casually) and recently gave Spier and Mackay a try. This coat is their simplest model, a 3 roll 2 button style and not much else going on with the jacket. They...

    OLD Black Stallion Update

    Hey guys, been a few years since I last posted here. With all the new Black Stallions being produced I thought I’d share some more updated photos of my old model, produced by Schott and purchased in 2015. Jacket is still as nice as it was on the day I got it but wears much better having had...

    Schott/Legendary USA Black Stallion Update

    Hey all, It's been a LONG time since I've been on here, but I was just thinking about the forums the other day as I was giving my Black Stallion it's first conditioning.

They're in stock now with no wait time and returns are accepted if the fit is wrong for a full refund. I'm considering it, sometimes my black stallion is a bit much...

    B-3 Jacket as a Daily Wear

    Hey guys, After much searching and deliberation, I think I'm about ready to pull the trigger on my first B-3. I just sold my Schott 740N on ebay as it wasn't getting the job done in the biting cold I get up here in the northeast living on ocean's edge. The only thing I can't seem to find is...

    Schott B3 Authenticity Check

    Hey guys, looking to purchase a Schott B3 as a recent trip to Illinois left me in my Black Stallion in -4 weather and needless to say it did not stand up to the elements lol. Looking to confirm that this is indeed a Schott B3, but that's difficult as the seller does not have a tag on the...

    New Legendary USA Exclusive Jacket

    Hey guys, Figured I'd share this here in case anybody was interested. Looks like Legendary USA is now taking preorders for Apr-May release on a Horsehide version of their 613 One Star jacket. They're also running a 15% off sale on Schott right now so it would be only $620. Not bad for a...

    Hillside USA Horsehide Samples

    Hi guys, Thought I'd share these with you as it's the first time I've ordered samples from a supplier. I ended up ordering the jacket before the samples came in, but I did have a quick question about how companies do samples. I was wondering if the "finish" that's applied to horsehide is...

    Hides, Rain, and Shrinkage

    Hi everyone, Had a quick question for some of the folks in here who've owned their leather jackets for a few years. I'm curious to know how getting caught in serious rain has effected your jackets. I had a 613 in Steerhide which fit fairly loose when I purchased it. Over the course of a year...

    Hi All, First post here and very excited to be a part of the forum! Just purchased a Schott Black Stallion today after some intense research on the jacket. Seems that as it was produced by Schott as a private label for Legendary, info on it is limited as are reviews from those who...
