A varsity-inspired leather jacket with a timeless twist

The Schott LCTEDDYBD2 in Green/Cordovan is a modern take on the classic American teddy jacket, blending the rugged appeal of leather with the cosy, sporty vibe of a varsity. The sleeves are crafted from full-grain cowhide leather, offering durability and a rich texture that will develop a unique patina over time. The body combines wool, polyester, nylon, and acrylic for warmth and structure, while the ribbed cuffs, collar, and hem in cordovan add a touch of contrast and elasticity.

Designed for everyday wear, built to last

This jacket features a straight, regular cut that flatters most body types, making it a versatile piece for year-round wear. The zippered front, secured with a snap-button placket, ensures a snug fit, while two lower pockets and two internal pockets provide practical storage. Embroidered badges on the chest and sleeves nod to the varsity tradition, reinforcing its sporty, laid-back aesthetic. Whether you’re dressing it up with tailored trousers or keeping it casual with jeans, this jacket adapts effortlessly to your style.

Crafted with care, made to evolve

Schott’s attention to detail is evident in the construction of this jacket. The leather sleeves are robust yet supple, designed to soften and mould to your movements with wear. The wool blend body offers warmth without bulk, making it suitable for layering in cooler months or wearing alone in milder weather. As the leather ages, it will develop character, ensuring this jacket becomes a long-term staple in your wardrobe.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of leather is used for the sleeves, and how does it age?

The sleeves are made from full-grain cowhide leather. Over time, it develops a rich patina, softens in texture, and gains character with wear, particularly in high-friction areas like the elbows.

How should I care for the ribbed wool-cotton cuffs and hem?

Avoid machine washing or dry cleaning at home. Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then air dry flat. For deeper cleaning, consult a specialist in leather and wool garments.

Is the wool blend in the body warm enough for winter?

The wool-polyester blend provides moderate warmth, making it suitable for autumn and spring. For harsh winter conditions, layering with a thick jumper or thermal underneath is recommended.

How does the regular fit accommodate different body types?

The straight cut offers a relaxed silhouette without being oversized. It skims the body comfortably, allowing for layering while maintaining a balanced proportion for most builds.

Are the snap buttons on the zipper flap purely decorative?

No, the snap buttons secure the flap over the zipper, providing extra wind protection and reinforcing the closure. They also help maintain the jacket’s structured shape when worn open.

Can the leather sleeves be replaced if they wear out?

While not a standard service, a skilled leatherworker can replace the sleeves. The jacket’s construction allows for partial repairs, though it’s best to consult a specialist familiar with mixed-material garments.
