Schott’s LC300 GREEN: a lightweight suede jacket that bridges casual and refined

The LC300 GREEN is Schott’s answer to warm-weather dressing in genuine leather. Cut from supple, breathable goatskin suede, it weighs just enough to feel like a second skin while still carrying the weight of the brand’s 100-year heritage. The pale green hue—neither too bright nor too muted—gives it a quiet versatility that works from city pavements to country lanes.

A silhouette that balances structure and ease

The jacket follows a clean, straight line from shoulder to waist, where rib-knit cuffs and hem lock in warmth without bulk. A stand-up collar shields the neck on breezy days, and the central zip runs smoothly from throat to hem, allowing quick layering over a T-shirt or a fine knit. Two angled side pockets sit flush with the body, while two internal pockets keep essentials secure and out of sight.

Goatskin suede: lightness meets durability

Schott chose goatskin for its natural balance of strength and suppleness. The velvety finish—achieved by sanding the outer layer—feels soft against the skin and resists creasing better than lambskin. Over time, the suede will develop a subtle sheen and a personalised patina, especially along the edges and high-contact areas. Because it is a natural material, each jacket will evolve slightly differently, ensuring no two LC300 GREENs look exactly alike after a few seasons of wear.

Inside story: comfort without compromise

The interior is lined with quilted cotton that adds a whisper of insulation without overheating. The quilting also prevents the lining from shifting, so the jacket drapes evenly every time you put it on. A small Schott label stitched into the seam serves as a discreet reminder of the jacket’s origin.

Schott began in 1928 as a raincoat workshop in New York City. By the 1940s the brand had perfected the Perfecto motorcycle jacket, which became a symbol of rebellion and later a staple of rock ’n’ roll wardrobes. Today Schott remains family-owned, producing every leather jacket in the United States or Europe under strict environmental and ethical standards. The Leather Working Group certification on the LC300 GREEN confirms that the hides are sourced from tanneries that minimise water use and chemical waste, aligning the brand’s storied past with contemporary responsibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of leather is used and how does it feel?

This jacket is made from goat suede leather, which has a velvety, nubuck-like finish. It’s soft to the touch and lightweight, making it comfortable for warmer seasons.

Is the lining removable or breathable?

The lining is not removable but is made from breathable cotton, sometimes quilted for added comfort. It’s designed to keep the jacket lightweight and suitable for spring and summer.

How should I care for the suede finish?

Suede requires professional cleaning to maintain its texture and appearance. Avoid water exposure and store it in a dry place, ideally with a breathable cover to prevent dust buildup.

Does the jacket have any stretch for a better fit?

The ribbed cuffs, waistband, and collar provide slight elasticity for a snug fit, but the main body of the jacket is made from non-stretch suede leather.

What is the Leather Working Group certification?

It’s a certification ensuring the leather is sourced and processed following environmental and ethical standards, including responsible water and chemical use in tanning.

Can this jacket be worn in light rain?

While the leather is durable, suede is not water-resistant. It’s best to avoid rain or damp conditions to prevent staining or damage to the finish.

How does the colour evolve with wear?

The light green suede will develop a subtle patina over time, softening in tone and gaining character with use. Regular brushing can help maintain its appearance.
