Schott NYC is a name synonymous with American heritage and the birth of the modern biker jacket. Founded in 1928 by brothers Irving and Jack Schott, the brand created the first leather motorcycle jacket with a zipper—the iconic Perfecto—in 1928. Since then, Schott has remained a benchmark for quality, quality manufacturing, and timeless design. The LC940D Black is a testament to the brand’s legacy, blending its rich history with a contemporary edge that appeals to riders and fashion enthusiasts alike.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the thickness of the cowhide leather used?

The cowhide leather is described as thick and resistant, though the exact thickness in millimetres is not specified. It is designed to offer durability and a structured look typical of biker jackets.

How does the quilted lining affect warmth?

The quilted polyester lining provides additional insulation, making the jacket suitable for cooler weather while maintaining breathability. It helps retain body heat without adding excessive bulk.

Are the zipped wrists adjustable for a snug fit?

Yes, the zipped wrists allow for a customisable fit, ensuring the sleeves can be tightened to prevent wind or cold air from entering.

Can the waist adjustment straps alter the jacket’s fit significantly?

The waist adjustment straps offer minor tailoring to the fit, allowing you to cinch the jacket slightly for a more contoured silhouette. However, they do not provide a drastic change in sizing.

Is the leather prone to developing a patina over time?

Yes, as with most full-grain cowhide leather, this jacket will develop a unique patina with wear and exposure to the elements, enhancing its character and individuality over time.

What type of care is required beyond professional cleaning?

To maintain the leather, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and direct sunlight. Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably on a padded hanger. Conditioning the leather periodically with a suitable product can help preserve its suppleness.

Does the jacket have any reinforced areas for motorcycle use?

While the jacket is inspired by biker culture and constructed from durable cowhide, it does not feature specific reinforced padding or armour typically found in motorcycle-specific gear. It is designed more for style than impact protection.
