Another great Schott jacket LC6301

[Tefouane]

Made with great Cowhide leather. Faux fur removable collar. A great jacket at a ridiculous price. Only for European market I think...

Let's see the collar

The knits are a nice touch at the waist. Better than my elasticated leather. Yours looks to be longer and slimmer- Nice!

Not a fan of the european Schott brand. Huge gap in quality between those and the US made ones. Schott really has nothing to do with them, they only licensed their name to a european manufacturer and not a stitch is made by them. That is why they have such "ridiculous" prices...

This is why I will never touch a schott jacket. You never know which one you are getting outside of the USA, does anyone know if Australia gets the USA made or Euro ones? Is it clearly identified on the label as not made in the USA?

 

[Tefouane]

Honestly, I have owned schott made in the USA and schott made elsewhere. On this one there is absolutely no way to make the difference. The material, the stitching, the finish are excellents. And for 245 euros it's a steal...

The main thing is you're happy with it . I quite like Schott but only a small percentage of their designs appeal to me. Unfortunately they are all too short for my build and taste. This style of Schott probably won't appeal to many members of this site as it is quite a modern hybrid, albeit with 1950's style piped pockets.

I've never seen Schott in Australia but on reflection it's been over five years since I went to the shops for browse.

The us made schotts have a label specifying (actually advertizing) it.

I hate when Schott (or anyone) puts those logos on their jackets. I wanted one of their slim-fit MA-1's, but it has that on the chest. Drives me nuts.

I notice the price of some Schott jackets here on UK websites has ramped up over the last year or two. (I would hope if you are buying a 1k jacket from them you are getting something well made!)

But I don't know if this means they are importing some similar quality items as they sell in the US over here or if its just whoever the licensee making the euro jackets getting greedy. I agree with the other posters, the ones I've seen on the racks here over the years, and one I bought on ebay some years ago, have meant its a brand I've generally avoided, other than lusting over some of their stuff I see on Japanese websites.

 

[TREEMAN]

Sorry , but I think that jacket is AWFUL !!

You don't have to worry, the main line that's on the SchottNYC com is always made in the USA. In fact, I'm pretty sure no Schott Perfecto exists that hasn't been made in the USA. They never had this main stuff made overseas. Even the Japanese exclusive stuff is all made in the USA. Seriously, you can't go wrong with this.

90% of their clothes that hasn't been made in the USA are sold mostly retailers and it's actually a lot more difficult to find a Euro/Asia made Schott leather jacket than the USA one.

That, and Schott has never been bsing with their tags (like hiding the country or origin behind the size tag. . .). Their USA made stuff always has that "made in USA" tag with the USA flag. Everything else is tagged so that it's clearly indicated where the garment has been made.

By the way, the OP's jacket has been made in the USA.

Don't know if it's an older jacket but I do know that Schott did a lot of stuff that was exclusive for the European market but was all done in the US, from the same materials the regular stuff's been made.

And I think it fits you beyond perfect, Tefouane.

Are you sure about it? I think no lc-series is US made.

Well, it has the flag. I'm not sure sure as I can't see but if the flag says Made in USA, it's what it is.

 

[Harris HTM]

I'm pretty confident that the flag there is only decorative (or deliberately confusing) and there's no "made in USA" tag. Perhaps the OP can post a detailed photo to verify this?
I think that all LC-series are made outside the US. I never owned but I have handled a couple of them and though they were well done, they were not close to the US made naked cowhide or steerhide. This is ofcourse reflected in the price.

You're right! I never saw ones with just the flag... They'd usually omit this tag.

Though I love my Schott's I find this a sort of cheap trick. But for the price they are well made jackets.
