The Schott LCW8614 in Cognac—a women’s Perfecto that doesn’t just follow the legend, it redefines it.

Since 1928, the Perfecto has been the benchmark for leather jackets: the one that bikers, rebels, and style icons have worn to signal attitude without saying a word. This LCW8614 keeps the DNA intact—slim, sharp, and unapologetically rock—while tailoring it for a contemporary silhouette. The result is a jacket that sits close to the body, moves with it, and still leaves room for layering when the temperature drops.

Lambskin leather: the alchemy of softness and strength.

Schott chose lambskin for this model, a leather prized for its feather-light weight and buttery suppleness. Unlike heavier cowhide, lambskin drapes naturally, moulding to the wearer’s shape without stiffness. The Cognac shade—a rich, warm brown—adds depth and versatility, ageing into a unique patina that tells your story. Because it’s certified by the Leather Working Group, you know the hide was sourced responsibly, tanned with minimal environmental impact, and finished to last decades.

Construction: precision where it counts.

The jacket’s slim-fit cut is engineered to flatter without constricting. A full-length zip runs cleanly down the front, flanked by two angled side pockets that are as practical as they are stylish. The snap-button collar stands up when zipped, then folds flat for a relaxed look. Every seam is double-stitched, and the lining—though minimal—is there to prevent stretching and add structure.

How to wear it: rock, not costume.

This Perfecto is designed to be worn open, letting the lapels frame whatever you layer underneath—graphic tees, silk blouses, chunky knits. In autumn, pair it with slim jeans and ankle boots; in spring, throw it over a midi dress for contrast. Because lambskin is naturally breathable, it works year-round: light enough for summer evenings, warm enough for crisp mornings. Just remember: sizing up gives you the freedom to layer without feeling boxed in.

Schott isn’t just a brand; it’s the house that invented the Perfecto in 1928. Born in a New York basement, the company outfitted motorcycle cops before Marlon Brando and The Ramones turned the jacket into a symbol of rebellion. Today, Schott still cuts every pattern in-house, blending American heritage with global quality manufacturing. Their Leather Working Group certification proves that tradition and responsibility can ride side by side.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the thickness of the lambskin used for this jacket?

The lambskin used is of premium quality, typically around 0.8 to 1.2 millimetres thick, offering a balance between suppleness and durability.

How does the lambskin evolve over time?

Lambskin develops a unique patina with wear, softening further and gaining character. The cognac colour will deepen slightly, enhancing its vintage appeal.

Is the zipper water-resistant?

The zipper is not specifically designed to be water-resistant. It is recommended to avoid exposure to heavy rain to preserve the leather.

Can the jacket be worn in warmer weather?

Yes, lambskin is naturally breathable, making this jacket suitable for transitional seasons and mild weather. However, it may feel warm in high temperatures.

Are the snap buttons on the collar purely decorative?

The snap buttons on the collar serve both a functional and decorative purpose. They allow you to adjust the collar for a snug fit or a more relaxed look.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a padded hanger to maintain its shape and avoid folding to prevent creases in the leather.

Does the slim fit allow for layering underneath?

The slim fit is designed to be close to the body, so layering may be limited to lightweight garments like a thin sweater or shirt for comfort.
