Schott’s LCBIKER24 Black: a modern take on the classic biker jacket, crafted in supple lambskin

This is not just another leather jacket—it’s a piece of motorcycling heritage reimagined for today’s rider. The LCBIKER24 Black from Schott NYC keeps the rebellious spirit of the original biker jacket while refining it with a sleeker silhouette and premium materials. Made from 100% lambskin leather, it balances durability with a softness that moulds to your body over time, developing a unique patina that tells your story.

A design that blends tradition with contemporary fit

The jacket stays true to the biker aesthetic with its signature details: quilted shoulder and elbow panels for added protection, a snap-button collar that can be worn up or down, and a gusseted back for ease of movement. The silver-toned hardware—zips and snaps—adds a touch of contrast against the deep black leather, while the adjustable wrist zips ensure a snug fit. Inside, two zippered pockets offer secure storage, and the Leather Working Group certification guarantees that the leather is sourced responsibly.

Versatile enough for the road and the city

While it’s built for riding, the LCBIKER24 Black transitions effortlessly into everyday wear. Pair it with slim-fit jeans and Chelsea boots for a classic biker look, or throw it over a hoodie and trainers for a more casual, urban vibe. The lambskin’s lightweight yet sturdy nature makes it suitable for year-round wear, though it truly shines in cooler months when its insulating properties come into play.

Schott NYC has been synonymous with the biker jacket since 1928, when it created the first-ever leather motorcycle jacket for Irving Schott. Over a century later, the brand remains a benchmark for quality manufacturing, blending American heritage with timeless design. Based in New York, Schott continues to produce its jackets in the USA, staying true to the techniques and materials that made its name.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

This jacket is made from lambskin leather, known for its softness and lightweight feel. Over time, lambskin develops a unique patina, softening further and gaining character with wear. It’s more delicate than cowhide, so it requires careful handling to maintain its appearance.

How should I choose the right size for a snug or relaxed fit?

The jacket is available in a standard cut, which offers a balanced fit—neither too tight nor too loose. If you prefer a snug fit, consider sizing down, especially if you plan to layer lightly underneath. For a relaxed fit, stick to your usual size or size up, particularly if you intend to wear thicker layers.

Are the quilted panels on the shoulders and elbows purely decorative?

The quilted panels on the shoulders and elbows serve both a functional and aesthetic purpose. They add a distinctive biker style while providing extra reinforcement in high-wear areas, enhancing durability without compromising flexibility.

Can this jacket be worn comfortably in warmer weather?

Lambskin is naturally breathable, making this jacket suitable for mild to warm weather. However, it’s not ideal for extreme heat, as the leather can become less comfortable in very high temperatures. For summer, consider wearing it over lightweight layers.

How do I maintain the silver-toned hardware to prevent tarnishing?

To keep the silver-toned zips and press studs looking their best, avoid exposing them to moisture or harsh chemicals. Wipe them gently with a dry cloth after wear, and store the jacket in a cool, dry place. If tarnishing occurs, a specialised metal polish can restore their shine.

Is the back pleat purely for style, or does it serve a functional purpose?

The back pleat, or gusset, is both a stylistic feature and a functional one. It provides extra ease of movement, particularly when riding a motorcycle or reaching forward, while also contributing to the jacket’s classic biker silhouette.

What kind of lining does this jacket have, and is it removable?

The jacket features a non-removable lining, typically made from a lightweight, breathable fabric to complement the lambskin. This lining helps maintain the jacket’s structure and provides a smooth interior for easy layering.
