This Schott Perfecto in vibrant red is a statement piece for those who appreciate timeless quality manufacturing with a modern twist.

The LCW1601D RED is a women’s leather jacket that blends Schott’s legendary expertise with a sleek, contemporary silhouette. Crafted from smooth lambskin, it offers a balance of softness and durability, making it a versatile choice for both casual and refined outfits. The jacket’s slim-fit cut enhances the figure while maintaining comfort, thanks to its thoughtful details like gusseted cuffs and an asymmetrical zip.

A nod to heritage with a feminine touch.

Schott’s Perfecto has been a symbol of rebellion and style since the 1920s, and this iteration reinterprets the classic with a feminine edge. The red lambskin isn’t just bold—it’s a colour that evolves beautifully with wear, developing a unique patina over time. The jacket’s construction includes functional yet stylish elements: snap-button epaulettes, a notched collar, and zippered pockets for practicality, while the diamond-stitched polyester lining adds a subtle touch of luxury. The silver-toned Schott-branded rivets are a signature detail, reinforcing the jacket’s robust yet elegant design.

Designed for all-season wear.

While lambskin is naturally insulating, this jacket’s slim fit and lightweight construction make it adaptable across seasons. It layers effortlessly over a simple T-shirt and jeans for a relaxed look or complements a dress and ankle boots for a night out. The red hue adds a pop of energy to any ensemble, whether you’re pairing it with neutrals or contrasting colours. The jacket’s versatility is matched by its durability—lambskin, when cared for properly, ages gracefully, making this piece a long-term investment.

Schott NYC is an American institution, founded in 1928 by brothers Irving and Jack Schott. The brand revolutionised outerwear with the creation of the first motorcycle jacket, the Perfecto, in 1928—a design later immortalised by Marlon Brando in *The Wild One*. Schott’s commitment to quality and innovation has made it a reference in quality manufacturing, blending rugged durability with timeless style. Today, the brand continues to honour its heritage while adapting to contemporary tastes, offering pieces that are as functional as they are iconic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of leather is used and how does it age over time?

This jacket is made from smooth lambskin leather, known for its soft touch and durability. Lambskin develops a unique patina with wear, gradually darkening and gaining character while maintaining its suppleness.

How should I choose the right size for a slim-fit cut?

The slim-fit cut is designed to follow the body's contours closely. If you prefer a snug fit, choose your usual size. For a slightly looser fit, consider sizing up. The model shown is size M on a 174 cm frame.

Are the zipped wrist gussets functional or purely decorative?

The zipped gussets at the wrists serve a functional purpose, allowing you to adjust the fit for comfort or to accommodate layers underneath.

What does the LEATHER WORKING GROUP certification indicate?

This certification ensures the leather is sourced from tanneries that meet environmental and ethical standards, focusing on sustainable practices in leather production.

Can this jacket be worn in warmer weather?

While lambskin provides some insulation, its breathability makes it suitable for mild to cool weather. It may be too warm for high summer temperatures but works well in spring and autumn.

How do I maintain the vibrant red colour of the leather?

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Use a leather conditioner specifically designed for coloured leathers to preserve the richness of the red hue.

Is the polyester lining removable for cleaning?

The lining is not removable. Professional leather cleaning is recommended to maintain both the exterior and interior of the jacket without damaging the materials.
