The LC300 Navy: a modern take on the classic teddy jacket, crafted in velvety goatskin

Schott’s LC300 Navy is not just another leather jacket—it’s a reinterpretation of the timeless teddy jacket, reimagined in supple, velvety goatskin. This piece bridges the gap between casual comfort and refined quality manufacturing, offering a lightweight yet durable option for those who appreciate the tactile pleasure of high-quality leather. The velvety finish, reminiscent of suede, gives it a soft, almost luxurious feel, while the structured design ensures it retains its shape over time.

A design rooted in simplicity, elevated by details

The LC300 Navy stays true to the teddy jacket’s sporty, relaxed silhouette with a straight, regular fit that flatters without constriction. The ribbed cuffs, hem, and collar—classic elements of the teddy style—add a touch of retro charm while providing a snug, comfortable fit. The full-length zip closure ensures easy wear, and the two side pockets, along with two internal pockets, offer practical storage without compromising the jacket’s clean lines. The quilted lining adds a subtle layer of warmth, making it versatile enough for transitional weather.

Goatskin: a leather with character

Goatskin is the star of this jacket, chosen for its unique combination of durability and softness. Unlike heavier leathers like cowhide, goatskin is lightweight and flexible, moulding to the body over time while maintaining its strength. Its velvety texture, achieved through a specialised finishing process, sets it apart from traditional smooth leathers, offering a tactile experience that’s both inviting and distinctive. Over time, the leather will develop a natural patina, enhancing its character and making each jacket uniquely yours.

A jacket for everyday, built to last

The LC300 Navy is designed for those who value understated style and versatility. Its casual yet polished aesthetic makes it a perfect match for everyday outfits—pair it with jeans, a T-shirt, and trainers for a laid-back look, or layer it over a sweater for a touch of sophistication. The navy colourway, a Schott signature, exudes timeless appeal, while the beige and rust options offer alternatives for those seeking a warmer or more neutral tone. Whether you’re running errands or meeting friends, this jacket adapts effortlessly to any setting.

Schott is a name synonymous with American outerwear heritage, particularly leather jackets. Founded in 1928 in New York City, the brand became a pioneer in the industry, crafting the first-ever leather flight jacket for the U.S. military during World War II—the iconic A-1 and A-2 models. Over the decades, Schott has remained a benchmark for quality and durability, blending quality manufacturing with a rebellious spirit. The LC300 Navy is a testament to this legacy, offering a contemporary take on a classic style while staying true to the brand’s commitment to excellence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of leather is used and how does it feel to the touch?

This jacket is made from goatskin suede, known for its soft, velvety texture. It offers a lightweight feel while maintaining durability, making it comfortable for everyday wear.

How should I care for this suede jacket to maintain its appearance?

To preserve the suede, avoid exposure to water and moisture. Cleaning should be done by a leather specialist to prevent damage. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally with a breathable cover to protect it from dust.

Is the jacket warm enough for colder weather?

The jacket features a quilted lining, providing moderate warmth. While it’s suitable for mild to cool weather, it may not be sufficient for freezing temperatures. Layering with a sweater or fleece can enhance insulation.

What is the fit like, and how does it differ from a slim or oversized cut?

The jacket has a regular fit, offering a balanced silhouette that is neither too tight nor too loose. It’s designed to sit comfortably at the waist with enough room for layering without appearing bulky.

Can the jacket be worn in rainy conditions?

Suede is not water-resistant, so wearing this jacket in rain is not recommended. If exposed to moisture, it may stain or lose its texture. For wet conditions, a waterproof outer layer is advisable.

How does the ribbed cuffs and hem affect the fit?

The ribbed cuffs and hem provide a snug fit at the wrists and waist, helping to retain warmth and maintain the jacket’s shape. They also add a casual, sporty touch to the overall design.

What makes the teddy collar different from a standard collar?

The teddy collar is slightly thicker and softer than a standard collar, offering extra warmth and a relaxed, casual aesthetic. It’s designed to fold down or stand up, depending on preference, adding versatility to the jacket’s look.
