A bomber jacket that marries timeless warmth with rugged sophistication

The LC1259 Cordovan/Café from Schott isn’t just a jacket—it’s a piece of history reimagined for the modern wardrobe. Crafted from double-faced sheepskin, this bomber-style jacket offers a unique reversible construction: a deep Cordovan brown exterior with a soft beige shearling lining. Designed to withstand the chill of autumn and winter, it combines the classic B-3 aviator silhouette with Schott’s signature attention to detail, making it as functional as it is stylish.

Built for comfort, designed for durability

The double-faced sheepskin isn’t just a statement of quality; it’s a testament to practicality. The exterior provides a robust, weather-resistant surface, while the interior lining delivers warmth and softness against the skin. The generous collar, adjustable with Schott’s iconic double-buckle strap, can be worn up for extra protection against the wind, or left down for a more relaxed look. A waist strap ensures a snug fit, while two front pockets—one subtly branded—offer both storage and a touch of vintage charm.

A nod to heritage, a fit for today

Inspired by the legendary B-3 bomber jackets of the mid-20th century, the LC1259 Cordovan/Café carries forward the spirit of aviation style while adapting it for contemporary wear. The aged leather finish gives it an instantly lived-in feel, as if it’s been part of your wardrobe for years. Whether you’re layering it over a chunky knit for a casual weekend look or pairing it with tailored trousers for a smart-casual ensemble, this jacket bridges the gap between rugged utility and refined elegance.

Schott isn’t just a brand—it’s an institution in the world of leather outerwear. Founded in 1928 in New York, the company revolutionised the jacket industry with the creation of the first leather bomber jacket for the U.S. military. Over the decades, Schott has dressed everyone from aviators to rock stars, earning a reputation for uncompromising quality and timeless design. Today, their jackets are still crafted with the same dedication to quality manufacturing, blending heritage with innovation to create pieces that last a lifetime.
