Schott’s LCBOMB BLACK: where the bomber meets the biker

The LCBOMB BLACK is Schott’s take on the MA-1 flight jacket, reimagined in supple lambskin leather. The result is a piece that bridges the gap between military precision and urban cool—a bomber jacket that doesn’t just nod to aviation history but also to the rebellious spirit of the biker jacket. The black lambskin gives it a sleek, understated edge, while the ribbed cuffs, collar, and hem keep the silhouette sharp and structured. It’s a jacket that feels as at home on a café terrace as it does on a weekend ride.

A cut that balances fit and freedom

Schott has crafted the LCBOMB BLACK with a standard cut—neither oversized nor skin-tight, but a middle ground that flatters most builds without sacrificing mobility. The lambskin, known for its lightweight yet durable nature, moulds to the body over time, creating a fit that feels personal. The zippered front ensures a secure closure, while the two buttoned pockets at the waist and the single sleeve pocket offer practical storage without disrupting the clean lines. The ribbed trims aren’t just decorative; they help retain warmth and maintain the jacket’s shape, even after years of wear.

Lambskin: the leather that ages with attitude

The choice of lambskin isn’t accidental. Softer and more pliable than cowhide, it’s a leather that demands attention without being loud. It’s thin enough to drape elegantly but robust enough to withstand daily wear. Over time, the black finish will develop a subtle patina, a sheen that tells the story of where it’s been—whether that’s a morning commute or an impromptu night out. The smooth finish ensures it remains versatile, pairing effortlessly with everything from tailored trousers to distressed denim.

Built for the city, inspired by the skies

The MA-1 bomber jacket was originally designed for pilots in the 1950s, a time when functionality was paramount. Schott’s interpretation stays true to that legacy while adapting it for contemporary life. The polyester lining adds a layer of comfort and breathability, making it suitable for transitional weather—cool enough for spring evenings, warm enough for autumn days. It’s a jacket that doesn’t just keep you warm; it keeps you stylish, whether you’re layering it over a hoodie for a casual look or throwing it on over a shirt for something more polished.

Schott isn’t just a brand; it’s a piece of American history. Founded in 1928 by brothers Irving and Jack Schott, the company is credited with creating the first leather motorcycle jacket—the iconic Perfecto. Since then, Schott has become synonymous with rugged, timeless outerwear, blending military influences with streetwear sensibilities. The LCBOMB BLACK is a testament to that legacy: a jacket that respects tradition while embracing modernity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the thickness of the lambskin leather used?

The lambskin leather in this bomber is thin and supple, typically around 0.8 to 1.2 millimetres thick, offering a lightweight feel while maintaining durability.

How does the lambskin leather age over time?

Lambskin develops a unique patina with wear, softening further and gaining character. It may show creases and slight discolouration, which enhances its vintage appeal.

Is the ribbed cuffing adjustable?

The ribbed cuffs, waistband, and collar are fixed and not adjustable, designed to maintain the bomber’s structured silhouette while providing a snug fit.

Can the jacket be worn in rainy conditions?

While lambskin is naturally water-resistant to a degree, it is not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to rain may damage the leather, so it’s best to avoid heavy downpours.

What type of lining does the jacket have?

The jacket features a polyester lining, which adds a lightweight layer of warmth and comfort without bulk.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

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

Does the jacket run true to size?

The jacket has a standard cut, but lambskin has little stretch. If you prefer a snug fit, consider sizing down, especially if you plan to layer lightly underneath.
