This is the bomber jacket that rewrote the rules of winter warmth.

The 257S Marron is Schott NYC’s tribute to the legendary B-3 bomber jacket—worn by US Air Force crews in unheated, unpressurised B-17 and B-24 cockpits during the Second World War. Built in the USA from heavyweight shearling, it combines the rugged authenticity of vintage military gear with the timeless appeal of a classic winter staple. Every detail, from the aged leather finish to the brass hardware, tells a story of durability and style.

A jacket built for the cold, designed for life.

This is not just a jacket—it’s a shield against the elements. The double-faced sheepskin, sourced from American hides, provides exceptional insulation, while the generous fur collar and adjustable straps at the neck and waist lock in warmth. The two lined hand-warmer pockets offer practicality without sacrificing style, and the leather-bound seams reinforce the jacket’s robust construction. Weighing in at 2.5 kg, it’s substantial enough to keep you warm in freezing temperatures yet comfortable enough for everyday wear.

Vintage authenticity meets modern wearability.

The 257S Marron is finished with an aged leather look that gives it the character of a well-worn heirloom from day one. The chrome tanning process ensures the leather remains supple while developing a rich patina over time. The brass hardware, stamped with the Schott logo, adds a touch of heritage, and the quilted lining enhances both durability and comfort. This is a jacket that doesn’t just look like it’s been around—it’s built to last for decades.

Schott NYC is the name behind some of the most iconic leather jackets in history. Founded in 1928 by brothers Irving and Jack Schott, the brand created the first ever motorcycle jacket—the Perfecto—in 1928, a design that would later become a symbol of rebellion and style. Based in New York, Schott has dressed everyone from aviators to rock stars, always staying true to its roots: American-made quality manufacturing, uncompromising quality, and a deep respect for the heritage of leatherwork. When you wear a Schott jacket, you’re not just wearing a piece of clothing—you’re wearing a piece of history.
