Schott’s LCTEDDYBD2 in yellow and black—a varsity jacket reborn in leather.

This is not just another varsity jacket. Schott has taken the classic American collegiate silhouette and reimagined it in full-grain cowhide, blending the sporty heritage of the teddy varsity with the rugged elegance of leather. The result is a blouson that bridges decades: the bold yellow body evokes the energy of 1950s letterman jackets, while the black leather sleeves and badges ground it in the timeless appeal of biker culture. It’s a piece that doesn’t just nod to history—it wears it.

Crafted for versatility, built to last.

The LCTEDDYBD2 is made from cowhide leather, chosen for its balance of durability and suppleness. Cowhide is thicker than lambskin, offering better resistance to daily wear while still softening beautifully over time. The regular or straight cut ensures a relaxed fit that flatters all body types, making it as comfortable for a weekend brunch as it is for an evening ride. Unlike seasonal trends, this blouson is designed to be worn year-round—layer it over a hoodie in winter or a simple tee in summer.

From campus to street: a style that adapts.

The varsity jacket has always been a symbol of youth and rebellion, from Ivy League campuses to punk rock stages. Schott’s interpretation stays true to that spirit while adding a modern edge. The contrast of yellow and black creates a striking visual impact, but the leather construction ensures it never feels costume-like. Pair it with jeans and boots for a classic look, or throw it over a tracksuit to channel a retro athletic vibe. It’s a blouson that doesn’t dictate your style—it elevates it.

Schott isn’t just a brand—it’s a legacy. Founded in 1928 in New York, the company invented the first leather motorcycle jacket, the Perfecto, which became an icon of counterculture. Since then, Schott has remained a benchmark for quality leather outerwear, blending American quality manufacturing with timeless design. Their pieces aren’t just clothing; they’re heirlooms in the making, designed to be worn, loved, and passed down.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of leather is used for this jacket?

This jacket is made from cowhide leather, known for its durability and ability to develop a rich patina over time. It’s slightly thicker than lambskin, making it ideal for year-round wear.

How does cowhide leather age over time?

Cowhide leather softens with wear and develops a unique patina, especially in high-friction areas like the elbows and cuffs. The yellow hue will deepen slightly, adding character to the jacket.

Is the black leather on the sleeves and badges the same as the yellow leather?

No, the black leather used for the sleeves and badges is also cowhide but may have a slightly different finish to achieve the contrasting colour. It will age similarly but may show wear differently due to the darker shade.

What does a 'regular or straight cut' mean for fit?

A regular or straight cut means the jacket has a relaxed fit through the torso and sleeves, without tapering at the waist. It’s designed to layer comfortably over jumpers or hoodies.

Can this jacket be worn in warmer weather?

While cowhide is breathable, it’s not as lightweight as lambskin or goatskin. It’s best suited for mild to cool weather. In warmer conditions, it can be worn over light layers but may feel too warm for extended wear.

How should I care for the leather to maintain its appearance?

Avoid exposing the leather to excessive moisture or direct sunlight. Use a leather conditioner every few months to keep it supple, and store it on a padded hanger to maintain its shape. For stains, consult a professional leather cleaner.

Are the badges and details stitched or glued on?

The badges and details are stitched onto the jacket, ensuring durability and a clean finish. This method also allows the leather to move naturally with wear.
