Belt and epaulets removed- who can put them back?

^^ Cool yeah I just saw those. It's a nice, clean look here - except for those unfortunate snaps staring straight up into space that look really out of place at this point.

Thats exactly why I want to replace epaulets. I couldn't pass on this jacket because I know that the hide is exceptionall on these jackets, its a really nice heafty horsehide that really has a pleasant smell. I personally haven't experienced a similar hide on any jacket ever.

I am almost positive Schott does this repair. I thought I read on their forum that they can replace both rather easily. I think the only problem would be matching the leather. As long as it is pretty close, it should be unnoticeable to the general public.

I hope you get successful. I enjoyed reading through this thread.

Hey guys, I have a question and I look forward to all the responses and hopefully someone with experience with this issue will share.
So I bought a perfecto because I have been wanting one recently. I found a cool jacket for a decent price. The only downside is that someone cut the belt and epaulets off. I want to know if its easy to re- attach or a big job? Another thing is who to ask to fix it? Johnson leather? Dena? Or would schott do it?- it is a perfecto? I await for opinions/advice. Thx

J, Congrats on your cool jacket! I can see that the next time someone asks me to take off their belt and epaulets that I should keep them! To make new ones for you, I rather doubt I could match the leather in your jacket, or the buckle. Wish I had a better answer! Dena

If Schott can replace the epaulettes that’s an easy fix. I’d have them remove the belt remnants and leave it off. I’m a fixed belt hater though.

Np. Matching the leather is the hard part i have learned.

Schott replied today and said they could fix it with matching leather so I will be sending it off. I think it would look good with half belt, with no belt, or even better attach a loop in the back an have a removable belt option

Take before and after pics. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out!

yessss this. Schott needs to start doing full belts that can be removed. I'd probably own another 2-3 jackets of theirs if it had that option.
