An aviator jacket that carries the weight of history—and the promise of adventure.

The Schott LC5331X in Ant Black isn’t just another leather jacket. It’s a faithful reinterpretation of the legendary A-2 flight jacket, the one worn by American pilots during the Second World War. This model keeps the soul of the original—thick, full-grain cowhide leather, a rugged patina that tells a story, and a silhouette that balances structure with wearability. The leather here is substantial, not flimsy; it’s the kind that softens with age but never loses its shape, developing a unique character with every wear. The Ant Black finish gives it a lived-in look from day one, as if it’s already seen a few seasons of use.

A design that respects tradition while adapting to modern life.

The A-2 cut is unmistakable: a straight, slightly fitted silhouette that falls just at the hips, with ribbed cuffs and waistband to seal in warmth. The standout feature? A removable synthetic fur collar that buttons off to reveal a clean, shirt-style collar underneath—perfect for transitioning between casual outings and more polished looks. The jacket is lined with a blend of cotton and polyester, offering both breathability and insulation, while the quilted interior adds an extra layer of comfort. Two large flap pockets on the front, secured with press studs, provide practical storage, and the embossed Schott logo on the left pocket is a subtle nod to the brand’s heritage. Inside, three pockets—two of them zipped—keep your essentials safe and organised.

Built for those who value substance over trends.

This isn’t a jacket for fleeting fashion moments. It’s for those who appreciate quality manufacturing, durability, and a piece that will age gracefully. The cowhide leather is thick and robust, designed to withstand the elements while developing a rich patina over time. The stitching is sturdy, the hardware is functional, and every detail—from the ribbed cuffs to the snap buttons—serves a purpose. It’s a jacket that demands to be worn, not just admired, and it’s versatile enough to pair with everything from jeans and a T-shirt to a wool sweater or even a tailored shirt. Whether you’re riding a motorcycle, walking through the city, or simply braving a chilly autumn evening, the LC5331X is the kind of jacket that makes every outing feel like an occasion.

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—in 1928. Since then, Schott has become synonymous with rugged, timeless outerwear, dressing everyone from Marlon Brando in *The Wild One* to countless pilots during the Second World War. The brand’s A-2 aviator jacket, originally issued to US Army Air Corps pilots, is one of the most recognisable designs in the world. Schott’s philosophy has always been about quality over quantity: every jacket is made to last, with an emphasis on durable materials, functional design, and a fit that works for real life. Even today, Schott remains a family-owned business, staying true to its roots while continuing to innovate.
