Legendary USA not selling Schott?

[MartinK]

I don't see any Schott jackets on the Legendary USA site anymore. Do they no longer carry Schott?

The short answer is no.

The thread below was perceived by some as a shill thread by an affiliate (who didn't say so upfront), but it tells the story and shows the current level of quality. Please read through and make your own judgment.

This company is no good anymore. The owner flat out lies to customers. Saw an example of their work up close. Sloppy & slipshod, nothing like when Herman owned it. The seams are uneven and stitching doesn't line up. Doing a search on the owner, who uses a pseudonym, will tell you everything you need to know. This company is on borrowed time. A damn pity.

Legendary Jacket


Last month I purchased a Beck 501 from Legendary. They’ve asked for a review, and here it is.

“The overall quality is very nice except for the main zipper which was extremely stiff and “catchy.” The jacket should never have left the seller in that condition. NEVER.
I’ve worked on the zipper for the past several evenings. It’s still stiff but manageable.
Yes, I know I could return it, but I have little faith in Legendary’s customer service. After my purchase, they ignored several requests for a shipping date. It was finally sent the day after I asked for my money back. Three weeks after the purchase date I received the jacket. No apologies, no excuses, no nothing.
I shop online for convenience, not to run to the post office because the manufacturer didn’t do their job.
I’ll post my opinion in the Legendary thread running on The Fedora Lounge. I’d never have bought the jacket if I'd seen that thread earlier.”

As expected, and true to their cavalier attitude, Legendary has not responded to my review. I doubt they will post it.

FWIW, I had a NOS Talon zipper on a Lost Worlds that was super stiff and catchy. I used a silver polishing cloth to remove some of the built-up tarnish on the zipper then added a very light coat of bicycle chain oil using a small plastic brush. It helped the zipper immensely.
