An aviator jacket that carries a century of history in every stitch

The Schott LC930D in Black is not just a leather jacket—it’s a piece of American heritage reimagined for the modern wardrobe. Crafted from thick, full-grain cowhide, this jacket balances rugged durability with a surprisingly supple feel, a testament to Schott’s mastery of leatherwork. The removable synthetic-fur collar adds a touch of vintage warmth, while the ribbed cuffs and waistband ensure a snug fit that moves with you. Weighing in at 1.45 kg, it’s substantial enough to feel like a statement piece, yet versatile enough to wear day after day.

A design rooted in practicality, refined over decades

Every detail of the LC930D serves a purpose. The metal zipper, reinforced with a leather pull tab, glides smoothly and withstands years of use. Two snap-button pockets on the front offer quick access, while the three interior pockets—two zipped, one snapped—provide secure storage for essentials. The ribbed knit trim at the wrists and waist isn’t just for style; it seals out the cold and keeps the jacket snug. The removable collar, lined with synthetic fur, can be swapped out depending on the weather, making this jacket adaptable from autumn through winter.

Built to last, designed to evolve

Cowhide leather is known for its resilience, and this jacket is no exception. Over time, the leather will develop a unique patina, darkening slightly and softening with wear, while the grain will become more pronounced. This natural evolution is part of the jacket’s charm—each crease and mark tells a story. The polyester lining ensures durability, while the cotton or polyester blend (depending on the source) keeps the interior smooth against the skin.

Schott NYC is the brand that invented the leather bomber jacket in 1928, creating the iconic Perfecto for motorcycle riders. Since then, Schott has dressed everyone from Marlon Brando to punk rockers, blending American workwear heritage with timeless style. The LC930D is a nod to that legacy—a jacket designed for everyday wear but built to last generations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How thick is the cowhide leather used in this jacket?

The cowhide leather is described as thick, providing durability and a structured look while remaining soft to the touch. Exact thickness isn’t specified, but it’s designed to offer both warmth and resilience.

Can the synthetic fur collar be removed for cleaning?

Yes, the synthetic fur collar is fully removable, making it easier to clean or replace if needed. It attaches securely but can be detached for maintenance.

What type of zip is used for the closure?

The jacket features a metal zip closure with a branded leather zip pull, ensuring smooth operation and durability. The zip is reinforced with a leather border for added strength.

Is the lining breathable for year-round wear?

The lining is made from 100% polyester, which is lightweight but not as breathable as natural fibres. It’s designed to provide warmth, making it ideal for cooler seasons rather than hot weather.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

Store the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a padded hanger to maintain its shape and avoid folding it for long periods to prevent creases in the leather.

Does the jacket require any special leather conditioning?

Yes, like all leather jackets, it benefits from occasional conditioning with a high-quality leather balm to keep the cowhide supple and prevent drying or cracking. Avoid over-conditioning, as it can soften the leather excessively.

Are the elasticated cuffs and waistband adjustable?

The elasticated cuffs and waistband are not adjustable but are designed to provide a snug, comfortable fit. They stretch slightly to accommodate movement while maintaining the jacket’s classic silhouette.
