Men's Jacket Schott CABAN CUIR 140

The Schott 140: A Naval Icon Reimagined in Leather

Few garments carry the weight of history like the pea coat. Born on the decks of 19th-century naval ships, it was built to withstand the harshest conditions at sea. Schott’s CABAN CUIR 140 takes that legacy and elevates it—replacing heavy wool with full-grain cowhide leather, while preserving every detail that made the original a classic. This is not just a leather jacket; it’s a reinterpretation of a military staple, designed for those who appreciate tradition but demand modern durability.

A Leather That Ages as Well as the Stories You’ll Wear It For

The 140 is crafted from naked cowhide leather—uncoated, unaltered, and left to develop its own character over time. At 3–3.5 oz, it strikes a perfect balance: thick enough to resist wind and wear, yet supple enough to mould to your body after a few wears. The chrome tanning process ensures flexibility without sacrificing strength, while the natural grain of the hide means no two jackets are exactly alike. Over the years, the leather will darken, soften, and acquire a patina that tells the story of every journey it’s been on—whether that’s a daily commute or a cross-country road trip.

Built Like a Ship, Worn Like a Second Skin

Schott didn’t just swap wool for leather; they re-engineered the pea coat’s construction to suit the material. The double-breasted front, a hallmark of naval design, is reinforced with US military-style anchor buttons—heavy, cold-forged metal that won’t corrode or loosen over time. The 32-inch back length (81 cm) provides ample coverage without restricting movement, while the regular fit is cut generously to layer over sweaters or hoodies. Inside, a quilted nylon lining adds warmth without bulk, making this a jacket that transitions seamlessly from autumn crispness to winter chill.

Made in America, Stitched with Pride

This jacket isn’t just assembled in the US—it’s union-made by LOCAL 169 of WORKERS UNITED A/W SEIU, a detail that speaks to Schott’s commitment to quality manufacturing and fair labour. Every stitch, every button, and every seam is a testament to the brand’s 100-year heritage of quality. It’s a rare find in today’s fast-fashion landscape: a piece that’s built to last, not just a season, but a lifetime.

Schott isn’t just a brand—it’s a piece of American history. Founded in 1928 by brothers Irving and Jack Schott, the company invented the first leather motorcycle jacket (the Perfecto) in 1928, a design so iconic it became a symbol of rebellion in the 1950s. Based in New York, Schott has spent nearly a century perfecting outerwear, blending military precision with streetwear edge. Their pea coats, like the 140, are a nod to their naval roots, while their leather jackets remain a benchmark for durability and style. Today, Schott’s pieces are still made in the US, a rarity in an industry dominated by overseas production.
