Men's Jacket Schott 519 BLACK
Product Description
A modern take on the legendary Perfecto, crafted for those who demand authenticity and timeless edge.
The Schott 519 BLACK is not just a leather jacket—it’s a piece of history reimagined for today. Made in the USA from full-grain pebbled cowhide, this midweight leather strikes the perfect balance between durability and suppleness, with a buttery feel that only improves with age. The grainy texture and full-aniline finish give it a rich, natural look that develops a unique patina over time, making each jacket one of a kind. Weighing between 2.75 and 3.25 oz, the leather is robust enough to withstand daily wear while remaining flexible and comfortable.
Designed for movement, built for rebellion.
Inspired by the jacket Marlon Brando wore in *The Wild One*, the 519 BLACK stays true to its biker roots with an asymmetrical front zip, snap-button collar and lapels, and a belted waist with a silver buckle. The back features bi-swing panels, allowing for unrestricted movement—whether you’re riding a motorcycle or simply navigating the city. The quilted nylon lining, insulated with 3oz polyfill, provides just enough warmth for three-season wear, while the zippered cuffs and wind flaps keep the elements at bay. With a 26" back length (about 66 cm), this slim-fit jacket sits just right, offering a more tailored silhouette than Schott’s classic 613.
Functional details that tell a story.
The 519 BLACK is packed with thoughtful touches that blend heritage and practicality. The iconic "One Star" epaulettes—stitched with double-needle reinforcement—pay homage to Schott’s military-inspired origins, while the three external zippered pockets, a small snap-button coin pocket, and an internal card pocket ensure you’ve got storage where you need it. The nickel hardware adds a touch of vintage charm, and the drum-dyed, chrome-tanned leather ensures deep, even colour that won’t fade easily. This is a jacket that doesn’t just look good—it’s built to last, evolving with you over the years.
Schott isn’t just a brand—it’s the name behind the world’s first leather motorcycle jacket. Founded in 1928 by brothers Irving and Jack Schott, the company revolutionised outerwear by creating the Perfecto in 1928, a design so iconic it became synonymous with rebellion, from Marlon Brando’s *The Wild One* to punk rock’s leather-clad pioneers. Still family-owned and based in New York, Schott remains one of the last American manufacturers to produce leather jackets entirely in the USA, from cutting the hides to stitching the final seam. Their commitment to quality manufacturing and heritage is evident in every piece, where tradition meets modern durability.
Frequently Asked Questions
This jacket is made from midweight pebbled cowhide, a full-grain leather with a slightly textured surface. It has a supple, buttery feel that remains soft over time without requiring much maintenance. The leather is drum-dyed and finished with an oil and aniline treatment, giving it a natural, polished look.
The jacket features a 1 ½” diamond quilted body liner with 3oz polyfill insulation, providing moderate warmth. While it is designed for all-season wear, it may not be sufficient for harsh winter conditions unless layered. The quilted nylon lining in the sleeves also adds a light insulating layer.
The one-star designation refers to the single star embroidered on the shoulder epaulettes. This detail is a nod to the original design worn by Marlon Brando in *The Wild One*, distinguishing it from other models in the range that may feature two stars.
The bi-swing back panels are pleated sections that expand when you move, providing greater freedom of movement. This feature is particularly useful for riding a motorcycle or for everyday wear, as it prevents the jacket from feeling restrictive.
The pebbled grain of the cowhide helps to disguise minor scratches and scuffs, making it more forgiving than smooth leathers. However, like all full-grain leathers, it will develop a patina over time, which many wearers consider part of its character.
Due to the delicate nature of the leather and its oil/aniline finish, professional cleaning by a leather specialist is strongly recommended. Avoid using household cleaners or water, as these can damage the leather’s natural properties and finish.
This jacket has a slim, standard fit that is more tailored than the brand’s 613 model. The 26” back length and adjustable waist belt create a streamlined silhouette, making it suitable for both casual wear and motorcycle riding.
