An aviator jacket that carries the weight of history in every stitch

The Schott LCFLYW22 in brown is not just a leather jacket—it’s a modern interpretation of the classic flight jacket, built for those who appreciate both heritage and versatility. Crafted from thick cowhide, this piece is designed to withstand the elements while developing a rich patina over time. The removable shearling collar and quilted vest liner make it adaptable to shifting temperatures, ensuring it remains a year-round staple. With its regular fit and robust construction, it balances rugged durability with timeless style.

A jacket with layers of functionality

This aviator jacket is engineered for practicality without sacrificing aesthetics. The front zip closure provides a secure fit, while the two lower flap pockets with press studs and two side pockets offer ample storage. Inside, two press-stud pockets keep essentials safe and accessible. The ribbed cuffs and hem ensure a snug fit, trapping warmth when needed. The detachable quilted vest, complete with its own zip closure and zipped side pockets, adds an extra layer of insulation for colder days. Whether you’re layering it over a sweater or wearing it solo, the LCFLYW22 adapts to your needs.

Cowhide: a leather with character

The choice of cowhide for this jacket is no accident. Thicker and more durable than lambskin, cowhide is known for its resilience and ability to age gracefully. Over time, it softens and develops a unique patina, telling the story of its wearer. While it may feel stiffer initially, this leather is built to last, making it ideal for those who want a jacket that will stand the test of time. The natural grain of the cowhide also adds texture and depth, ensuring no two jackets look exactly alike.

Schott is a name synonymous with American outerwear heritage. Founded in 1928 in New York, the brand is credited with creating the first leather flight jacket for the U.S. military, the iconic A-1. Over the decades, Schott has remained a benchmark for quality manufacturing, blending utilitarian design with timeless style. Their jackets are built to last, often becoming heirlooms passed down through generations. The LCFLYW22 is a testament to this legacy, offering a contemporary take on the aviator jacket while staying true to Schott’s roots.

Frequently Asked Questions

How thick is the cowhide leather used in this jacket?

The cowhide leather in this jacket is described as thick, offering durability and warmth. However, the exact thickness in millimetres isn’t specified, as it can vary slightly depending on the hide.

Can the shearling collar be washed in a machine?

No, the removable shearling collar should not be machine washed. It requires specialist leather care to maintain its texture and appearance. Professional cleaning is recommended.

Is the quilted vest included with the jacket warm enough for winter?

The quilted vest provides an additional layer of insulation, making it suitable for cooler weather. However, for extreme winter conditions, layering with a thick sweater or thermal underneath may be necessary.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

Store the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a padded hanger to maintain its shape, and avoid plastic covers to allow the leather to breathe. The removable collar and vest should be stored separately.

Does the leather develop a patina over time?

Yes, the cowhide leather will develop a rich patina with wear, enhancing its character. The natural oils in the leather and exposure to elements will gradually darken and soften its appearance.

Are the wrist cuffs adjustable?

The wrist cuffs feature ribbed knit trims, which provide a snug fit but are not adjustable. They are designed to retain warmth while allowing some flexibility for layering.

Is the jacket water-resistant?

While the thick cowhide leather offers some resistance to light rain, it is not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to moisture should be avoided to prevent damage. Regular conditioning helps maintain its water-resistant properties.
