Schott’s LCAMERICA BLACK: the biker jacket that never goes out of style

This leather jacket is a direct descendant of the original Perfecto, the first motorcycle jacket ever designed. Schott didn’t just create a piece of clothing—they invented a symbol. The LCAMERICA BLACK carries that legacy forward with a regular cut, a thick biker collar, and a material that’s built to last: full-grain cowhide leather. Whether you ride or simply want to channel that rebellious spirit, this jacket is made to be worn hard and age beautifully.

A material that tells a story

The cowhide used here is one of the most durable leathers available. It’s tough enough to handle the open road but still softens over time, developing a unique patina that records every ride, every adventure, and every memory. The thickness can vary—some hides are heavier and more protective, while others are lighter and more flexible—but all share the same resilience. This isn’t a jacket that fades into the background; it’s one that evolves with you.

Designed for all seasons, built for a lifetime

With its regular fit and unlined construction, the LCAMERICA BLACK adapts to every season. Layer it over a hoodie in winter or wear it open over a T-shirt in summer. The thick biker collar adds structure and attitude, while the absence of fur keeps the focus on the leather itself.

Schott isn’t just a brand—it’s a piece of American history. Founded in 1928 by Irving Schott, the company created the first-ever motorcycle jacket, the Perfecto, in 1928. Since then, Schott has become synonymous with rugged, timeless leather jackets that blend function and style. Their designs have been worn by everyone from Marlon Brando to punk rockers, proving that a well-made leather jacket never goes out of fashion.
