Classic B-3 Sheepskin Leather Bomber Jacket

AN ABSOLUTE INVESTMENT PIECE – STILL STUNNING AFTER NEARLY 30 YEARS!

​I purchased my B3 Shearling Bomber back in the 1996-1997 timeframe, and I can honestly say it is one of the best investments I have ever made. After nearly three decades of wear, this jacket still looks amazing.
​The leather has developed an incredible character over the years, and the shearling remains as warm and comfortable as the day I bought it. It is rare to find craftsmanship that stands the test of time like this. If you are on the fence about the price, just know that you are buying a heirloom-quality piece that will serve you for a lifetime.

LEON’S OFFICIAL JACKET

As a die hard Resident Evil fan nothing makes me happier than owning Leon’s official jacket from RE4 Remake. The quality is definitely worth the price. This will be my forever jacket

DON'T GET YOUR HOPES UP

It's nice. It is absolutely not almost 2 THOUSAND DOLLARS nice. Not even close. I've had jackets similar in quality over the years for a quarter of the price, and I can not fathom why they also INCREASED their price on jackets they already had made, sitting for years from 1500 something to 1690.

My jacket doesn't appear to have the sort of shine you see in the photos here, and mine also seems much more worn, with the leather seeming more full of breaks so to speak, and the stitching around the cuffs was pretty shoddy. I'd add a photo if I could.

I also am thoroughly disappointed in the lack of customer service. I asked their chat a few questions regarding this jacket in November about maintaining the jacket, did I need to do like some kind of polish or something, that kind of thing, and I was hoping for a response before the Black Friday sale ended.

Never heard a word. Tried their chat again in December. Never heard a word. No contact, nothing. You guys are asking nearly two grand and you can't even be bother to respond to a message? That's not even lazy, it's disrespectful.


So yeah, it keeps you warm, although a lot of the reviews in this thread are HEAVILY exaggerated as if it could keep you warm even in the literal Arctic. Come on, it's not THAT nice and warm. I was also surprised how light it was, I expected it to be quite a heavy jacket and somewhat more thick, but no. It's surprisingly light.


Is it a decent jacket? Yes. Was I disappointed after having wanted this jacket for YEARS? Well considering the price and the overall just DECENT quality of the jacket, yes. Yes I was. This will be the first and LAST thing I ever purchase from Schott. You can bank on the majority of the reviews being over hyped just because of Resident Evil 4.

Response from Schott NYC: Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience fell short of what you expected. Regarding pricing, our jackets are made in limited runs using premium leathers and materials, and pricing can change over time due to increased costs across manufacturing, labor, and materials.

We’re also particularly disappointed to hear about your experience with our customer service. You deserved a timely and respectful reply, and we understand how frustrating that must have been. Our customer service works very hard to answer all requests, so we are sorry if this got missed.

B3 BOMBER FIT

There's a reason why these jackets are conventionally sized and also a reason why people have sizing mishaps. I'm 196lbs and 6 ft and wear a 42 chest in almost everything. I don't have a wide midsection. I ordered a 42 and it fits me just fine. In my view, if you want to use this mostly in urban areas, you are likely not going to layer up much and so sizing down will give you a snug fit. If you are going to use it in truly very cold places, and layer up with say a thermal and a medium fleece, your regular size is perfect. You will definitely not need to size up.

GREAT JACKET EVEN 40 YEARS LATER!

I got an 80s model second-hand, and it still holds up! Definitely a jacket that'll last

FITS GREAT BUT QUALITY IMPRESSION NOT SO GOOD

My B3 Bomber Jacket fits great on me - so comfortable and very warm but I was kind of bummed out- when I got this jacket the leather was more dry then smooth and also it was slightly discolored . It was LIGHT BROWN and just look dirty. So I had to oiled up and cleaned the jacket myself. Then I talked to some man who works at Schott and he told me they don't reoil and cleaned the jacket - they ship out as is. I couldn't believe. I paid over $1700 and get a jacket which the leather was dry and discolored LIGHT BROWN. I really wish Schott would clean and reoil the jacket BEFORE shipping out to me. You know you should always keep your customers happy that way. Also what I wish Schott would do is when they make the straps with the buckle- use a shiny brass buckle with Schott name on it - instead of the dirty looking buckles. I found that to be more attractive to style of the jacket especially when you buy a new jacket costing you over $1700.00. As matter of fact I also bought a Cockpit B3 Bomber last year- their leather was smooth and dark brown and their buckles was shiny brass with their name on it. I have nothing against Schott but I really think you should be cleaning and reoiling all your jackets BEFORE shipment. Also get rid of the dirty buckles on those straps and use the shiny buckles. But that's Schott call . I hope Schott would take my comments serious and think what I just said. I always have and I always do like Schott! I'm just trying to help them out on quality control on their bomber jackets Overall the B3 Bomber jacket is totally awesome. I really love it.

WONDERFULLY CRAFTED, SUPER COZY

As a kid, this was one my dream jackets…. Now that I’ve grown up, somewhere along the way, the desire to wear this wonderful jacket in the cold winter days came back. I bought it and have immediately fallen in love with it.
The Craftmanship is fantastic, materials are of the best quality, and when I wear it I feel like I am being hugged by a warm friend.

GREAT JACKET. WOW!

Beautiful quality jacket. The fit is perfect. 6’ 205lbs, chest measurements 43’ and little on the slim side. I ordered a size 40 and the fit was just right. Jacket does run big so it’s best size down .

GOOD

👍

IT HAPPENED

It happened, everyone.

I was out the other day, wearing this magnificent piece of unparalleled attire, when someone approached me and called me Leon Kennedy.

I can die happy now.
