A legend reimagined in heavyweight horsehide
This is not just another leather jacket—it is the 618HH, Schott’s answer to those who demand a Perfecto with more substance, more presence, and more attitude. Cut from thick, glossy horsehide, it stands apart from the classic 618 with a weight and rigidity that command attention. The moment you slip it on, you feel the difference: a jacket built to last decades, not seasons.
The weight of history, the precision of quality manufacturing
Schott didn’t just make this jacket heavier—they made it smarter. The 3–3.5 oz horsehide (European hide, chrome-tanned in Italy) is naturally water-resistant, stiff enough to hold its shape yet supple enough to break in beautifully over time. The bi-swing back panel and underarm gussets with ventilation grommets ensure mobility, while the snap-down collar, zippered cuffs, and adjustable belt give it that unmistakable biker silhouette. Inside, a quilted nylon lining—lightweight but warm—balances the heft of the leather, making it wearable year-round, from autumn chills to winter winds.
Pockets, zips, and details that tell a story
Every element here has a purpose. The asymmetrical zipper isn’t just for show—it’s a nod to the original 1928 design, meant to shield riders from the elements. The three external zippered pockets (including a small snap pocket for coins or keys) are placed for easy access, even on a bike. The nickel hardware—stamped with the Schott logo—is built to withstand years of use. And those snap-down shoulder epaulettes? A military-inspired detail that’s become a signature of the Perfecto line, adding structure and a touch of rebellion to the silhouette.
Wear it now, pass it down later
This is a jacket that ages like fine wine. The glossy black finish will soften into a rich patina, developing character with every scuff and crease. It’s heavy (around 3 kg), but that’s the trade-off for durability—this is a piece you’ll wear for years, not just a season. And while it’s undeniably a biker jacket at heart, its clean lines and timeless design make it just as at home with a pair of jeans and boots as it is with a sharp suit or a rock ‘n’ roll tee.
Schott isn’t just a brand—it’s the birthplace of the modern leather jacket. Founded in 1913 in New York, the company invented the Perfecto in 1928, a design so ahead of its time that it was banned in schools for being too rebellious. Decades later, it’s still the gold standard: carefully made in the USA, using leathers and hardware that are built to outlast trends. When you buy a Schott, you’re not just buying a jacket—you’re buying a piece of American history, worn by icons from Marlon Brando to Johnny Depp.

Frequently Asked Questions
This jacket is made from thick horsehide leather, known for its durability and natural resistance to water. Over time, it develops a unique patina, softening slightly while maintaining its structure and gaining character with wear.
The horsehide leather is very stiff initially, which helps the jacket hold its shape. It will gradually soften with wear, typically taking a few weeks to adapt to your movements.
The jacket weighs approximately 3 kg due to the thick horsehide and robust construction. While heavy, this contributes to its durability and warmth, making it ideal for cooler weather but less suited for layering in mild conditions.
Yes, the jacket features nickel-plated hardware, including branded zips and press studs engraved with the maker’s name. These components are designed to withstand frequent use and resist corrosion.
The bi-swing back, combined with underarm gussets and vented eyelets, enhances mobility and ventilation. This design allows for greater freedom of movement, especially when riding or sitting for extended periods.
No, the quilted nylon lining is stitched in place and not designed to be removed. It provides warmth and structure, complementing the heavy outer leather.
Given the rigid leather and slim-to-regular cut, it’s recommended to size up if you’re between measurements. The jacket will mould to your shape over time, so a slightly looser fit initially ensures comfort and ease of movement.
Caring for your leather
This is a horsehide jacket.
Horsehide is a fairly rare hide. It is found, most of the time, on jacket models exclusively made in the United States such as the historic Schott N.Y.C.
Very thick and above all very resistant, the horse leather models are easy to maintain.
We will still advise you to waterproof them, like any leather jacket, either upon purchase and then at least once every year.
