The 118L Black: Schott’s legendary Perfecto, reimagined in a longer silhouette.
This is not just another leather jacket—it’s the 118L Black, Schott’s extended take on the iconic Perfecto motorcycle jacket. Measuring 28 inches at the back, it offers a bold, elongated profile that stays true to the original’s rebellious spirit while adding a modern edge. Crafted in the USA from heavyweight naked cowhide, this jacket is built to last, with a 3–3.5 oz leather that balances durability and flexibility. The full aniline drum-dyed finish ensures a rich, natural patina that evolves with wear, making each jacket uniquely yours over time.
A design rooted in history, refined for today.
Schott’s Perfecto was born in 1928 as the first zippered motorcycle jacket, designed to shield riders from the elements. The 118L Black honours that legacy with its signature details: underarm footballs for ventilation, a bi-swing back for mobility, and the unmistakable snap-button chest pocket—a nod to its biker origins. The adjustable waist belt, nickel hardware, and quilted nylon lining add both function and character, while the semi-matte finish keeps the look understated yet striking. Whether you’re on a bike or in the city, this jacket bridges the gap between rugged utility and timeless style.
Made for movement, built for life.
The 118L Black is designed to move with you. The underarm gussets and bi-swing back panel ensure freedom of motion, while the zippered wrist adjusters and snap-button collar offer customisable comfort. Inside, two insulated pockets and a snap-button coin pocket provide practical storage, and the quilted lining adds warmth without bulk. The leather’s medium rigidity softens with wear, moulding to your body for a fit that feels personal. It’s a jacket that adapts—whether you’re layering it over a hoodie in autumn or wearing it open over a tee in spring.
Schott isn’t just a brand—it’s the pioneer of the modern leather jacket. Founded in 1913 in New York, the company created the first zippered motorcycle jacket in 1928, the Perfecto, which became a symbol of rebellion and style. Worn by bikers, rock stars, and icons like Marlon Brando and The Ramones, Schott’s jackets are synonymous with American quality manufacturing and durability. Each piece is still made in the USA, using time-honoured techniques and premium materials, ensuring that every jacket tells a story as rich as its history.

Frequently Asked Questions
The jacket measures approximately 71 centimetres at the back, based on the 28-inch length.
The full aniline drum-dyed cowhide develops a rich patina with wear, softening slightly while maintaining its structure and gaining character through natural creases and subtle colour shifts.
No, the quilted nylon and polyester lining is stitched in place and not designed to be removed. Professional leather cleaning is recommended to preserve both the shell and lining.
The heavyweight cowhide and insulated lining provide warmth for autumn and spring, while the underarm gussets and bi-swing back allow airflow in milder conditions. It’s versatile enough for layering in winter but not ideal for extreme cold.
The regular fit is designed with ease for layering. If you’re between sizes, consider sizing down if you prefer a closer fit or sizing up if you plan to wear thick jumpers underneath.
The branded nickel hardware and heavy-duty zips are built for longevity, but like all metal components, they may show slight wear with extensive use over time.
While the chrome-tanned leather offers some water resistance, it’s not fully waterproof. Brief exposure to rain is fine, but prolonged wet conditions may darken the leather and require professional reconditioning.
Caring for your leather
This product is made of cowhide leather. Whether thick and heavy or thin and light, cowhide is one of the most resistant.
Its maintenance simply involves using a cleansing milk or a delicate cream.
You will also need, as with the vast majority of leathers, to waterproof your leather once every 6 months, or more depending on its use, using a special leather aerosol product.
