A timeless aviator jacket reimagined with Schott’s signature precision.

The LCFLYVINT BLACK is a modern take on the legendary A-2 flight jacket, a piece that has defined rugged elegance since its introduction in the 1930s. Crafted from full-grain goat leather, this jacket balances heritage design with contemporary versatility. The A-2 silhouette is instantly recognisable—structured yet fluid, with a regular fit that flatters without constricting. Here, Schott stays true to the original specs: a shirt-style collar with a hidden button placket, a full-length metal zip concealed under a snap-button storm flap, and two bellowed chest pockets with snap closures. The devil is in the details—rib-knit cuffs and waistband for a snug fit, vertical raglan pockets for added functionality, and two internal pockets for secure storage. It’s a jacket built for movement, whether you’re on a motorcycle or navigating the city.

Goat leather: the perfect balance of durability and drape.

Goat leather is a material with a storied past, favoured by aviators and motorcyclists for its unique combination of strength and suppleness. Unlike heavier cowhide, goat leather is lighter and more pliable, moulding to the body over time while retaining its shape. The grain is naturally tight and resistant to abrasions, making it ideal for a jacket that’s meant to endure daily wear. Over time, the leather will develop a rich patina, darkening subtly and acquiring character with each outing. Schott sources its leather responsibly, with certification from the Leather Working Group—a mark of environmental and ethical standards. This isn’t just a jacket; it’s an investment in a material that improves with age.

A jacket for every season, every style.

The A-2 was originally designed for pilots, but its adaptability has made it a staple in wardrobes far beyond the cockpit. The LCFLYVINT BLACK carries that legacy forward. Its mid-weight construction—neither too heavy for spring nor too light for autumn—makes it a year-round piece. Layer it over a roll-neck jumper for a polished look, or pair it with a simple T-shirt and jeans for effortless streetwear appeal. The shirt-style collar adds a touch of sophistication, while the snap-button pockets and ribbed trims keep the silhouette grounded in utility. Whether you’re dressing for a casual weekend or a smart-casual evening, this jacket bridges the gap between rugged and refined.

Schott NYC is a name synonymous with American outerwear heritage. Founded in 1928 by brothers Irving and Jack Schott, the brand is credited with creating the first motorcycle jacket—the Perfecto—in 1928. Since then, Schott has dressed everyone from World War II pilots to punk rock icons, all while maintaining its commitment to quality manufacturing and quality. The A-2 flight jacket, originally issued to U.S. Army Air Corps pilots in the 1930s, is one of the brand’s most enduring designs. Schott’s approach is simple: take timeless silhouettes and execute them with precision, using the finest materials. The result? Jackets that aren’t just worn but lived in.
