The B-3 bomber jacket with a hood that redefines rugged elegance.

Schott’s LC1259H in black is not just another leather jacket—it’s a direct descendant of the legendary B-3 bomber jackets worn by American airmen during the Second World War. This piece carries the weight of history while delivering modern comfort and style. Crafted from double-faced sheepskin (natural sheepskin leather), it offers unparalleled warmth and durability, making it a go-to choice for those who refuse to compromise between heritage and functionality.

A material that tells a story.

The LC1259H is made from full-grain sheepskin, a material prized for its natural insulating properties and softness. Unlike synthetic alternatives, sheepskin evolves with time, developing a unique patina that reflects your adventures. The distressed finish gives it an authentic vintage look right from the start, as if it’s already lived a thousand stories. The generous collar, which extends into a fully adjustable hood, is lined with the same luxurious sheepskin, ensuring warmth even in the harshest conditions. The hood itself is secured with two leather straps and branded buckles, a nod to the original military design.

Built for those who demand more.

This jacket is designed to withstand the test of time. The central zip closure is robust, while the two side pockets are lined with wool for added comfort and insulation. The waist is adjustable with leather straps, allowing you to tailor the fit to your preference—whether you prefer a standard or slightly slimmer silhouette. Weighing in at 2.6 kg, it’s substantial enough to feel protective without being cumbersome. The back length measures 68 cm in size L, with slight variations for other sizes, ensuring a balanced, slightly cropped fit that pairs effortlessly with everything from jeans to tailored trousers.

More than a jacket—a statement.

The LC1259H is a versatile piece that bridges the gap between casual and refined. Its classic bomber silhouette makes it ideal for autumn and winter, whether you’re layering it over a chunky knit or a simple T-shirt. The distressed leather and military-inspired details give it an edge, while the sheepskin lining ensures it remains a cosy, everyday essential. Pair it with boots and a scarf for a rugged look, or throw it over a shirt and trousers for a smart-casual ensemble. This is a jacket that doesn’t just keep you warm—it tells the world you know your craft.

The brand’s commitment to quality and timeless design is evident in every stitch of the LC1259H, a jacket that carries forward Schott’s legacy of blending military functionality with urban style.
