Restoring Leon's Jacket - Resident Evil 4 Remake (Schott B3 Bomber 1986)

Always wanted a flight jacket like Leon wears from the original Resident Evil 4? Well thanks to the 2023 Remake, you can get it in the form of the Schott B3 Bomber. If like me, the retail price was too high, go used. In this video I’ll be showing how to restore a leather jacket the right way to get something nearly as good for a fraction of the cost. You may even learn a thing or two along the way!

there is a thread on schottnyc dating a very similar jacket, meaning the tags and features match up. Especially it's missing "Schott" on the side buckles. This gives a clue to the manufacturing date. "GALE" from Schott said that with "Schott" missing on the buckle means it is manufactured either between 1981-1984 or 1986/1987

@EnemyStep Жыл бұрын

That sounds like a great find! Do you have a link to the thread? That information would tally with the more recent B3's I've seen from Schott and their embossed buckles.

www.schottnyc.com/forum/posts/second_hand_b3_real_or_fake_2.htm Found it! Thanks to you, and of course "GAIL" 🙏. If what she says is true, then that means my jacket was in fact produced during the 1980's. I'm even more impressed with it's condition, and will wear it with a newfound respect. It's seen more life than I have!

@siegwardofcatarina Жыл бұрын

@@EnemyStep the reason why I found the thread was because I myself have also acquired a schott b3 with also no schott on the buckle. what a coincidence huh us three, with the same schott b3 from the 1980s, some might call us schott bros hehe

In my experience buying used clothes from Japan (especially on rakuten) the seller usually goes over items with a fine tooth comb like a museum curator. 2/5 will have regular wear but no damage; 3/5 is very lightly worn; 4/5 is essentially new and 5/5 is fit for a museum exhibit.

@MrFoxInc Жыл бұрын

I've recently become more conscious about fast fashion and how lousy it is, and that the thought of "I'll buy this jacket, it should last me a winter, maybe even two" doesn't sound quite as nice as "This is my jacket, we've been through thick and thin for the past 10 years, I've taken care of it regularly and despite all the stories it could tell you, it's still reliable and keeps me warm". And this video here definitely pushed me more towards the latter. It's a craft that feels approachable and rewarding, like a meaningful project that you do over the course of a few days and the result is clothing that lasts and a sense of self-reliance. Cool video!

@joeneedsfood 25 күн бұрын

Just coming back after a year to say the jacket is still serving me extremely well! Was insane to see this video go from 4k views when I first bought my jacket to nearly 300k now! Really cool dude! My current girlfriend happens to be a big fan of Leon Kennedy (hasn't even played an RE game haha) and when I first showed her I had the jacket she went crazy. I also happen to already have a passing resemblence to Leon so I've always felt cool wearing it in general. It has also (more importantly) been there for me during the bitter british winters. Anyway, point is this is all thanks to you making the video a year ago now and I really appreciate that! I hope life has been treating you well since :)

Though I did experience my own set of hiccups like accidentally tearing the leather on the front right shoulder, I managed to repair it and made the tear near invisible. I wanted to leave this comment as thanks for documenting your process, I don't think I could've had it look as good as it is without you!

Hello again! I bought a jacket from Japan and it's just arrived, and the mink oil is on its way. Thank you so much for uploading this video, after watching so many people play this game and say how they wish they had this jacket, it's made me very prideful haha. I read online that you can use regular soap on the leather so I plan to do that (I doubt it will be as effective as the saddle soap but if you think this might be really bad, do say). Also wondering what you thought of the game so far? I've only just gotten to meeting to Luis so don't spoil anything in your reply if you have played! Thanks again fella, couldn't be more grateful for your video.

@noct8225 Жыл бұрын

hi, I think it probably depends on the soap, if it's a gentle natural soap it might be fine but I know the reason saddle soap is used is because it'll clean but also help preserve and condition the leather. Regular soap might be too damaging cos it doesn't have the beeswax and other ingredients. Good luck with your jacket :)
