A design that honours tradition while embracing modernity

Every detail of the LCW1601D WHITE reflects Schott’s commitment to quality manufacturing. The asymmetrical zip closure, a signature of the Perfecto line, adds a bold, asymmetrical touch, while the snap-button collar offers versatility—wear it open for a relaxed vibe or fastened for a sharper silhouette. The jacket features practical yet stylish elements: shoulder epaulettes for structure, a zipped chest pocket for secure storage, and two zipped side pockets for functionality. The wrist gussets, finished with zips, allow for adjustability, ensuring a perfect fit whether you’re on a motorbike or strolling through town. The polyester lining, quilted in red on select models, adds a subtle pop of colour while providing warmth and comfort.

Schott NYC is the stuff of legend—a brand that defined the leather jacket as we know it. Founded in 1928 by brothers Irving and Jack Schott, the company created the first-ever motorcycle jacket, the Perfecto, in 1928. Originally designed for bikers, it became a symbol of rebellion when Marlon Brando wore it in *The Wild One* (1953). Schott’s jackets have since graced the shoulders of icons like James Dean, Debbie Harry, and countless musicians and artists. Today, Schott remains a family-owned business, blending its rich heritage with modern innovation, always staying true to its roots: quality, durability, and timeless style.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of leather is used and how does it age?

This jacket is made from lambskin leather, known for its softness and lightweight feel. Over time, lambskin develops a unique patina, softening further and gaining character with wear. It’s more delicate than cowhide, so it requires careful handling to maintain its appearance.

Is the lining quilted on all versions?

The lining is 100% polyester, and while some versions feature a red quilted design, not all do. The quilting adds a subtle layer of warmth and a distinctive aesthetic, but it depends on the specific variant.

How should I determine the right size for a slim fit?

The slim fit is designed to follow the body’s contours closely. If you prefer a snug fit, choose your usual size. For a slightly looser fit, consider sizing up. The lambskin’s natural stretch will adapt to your shape over time.

Are the zipped wrist cuffs functional or decorative?

The zips at the wrist cuffs are fully functional, allowing you to adjust the fit for comfort or style. They also feature gussets, which provide flexibility and ease of movement.

How do I care for lambskin leather?

Lambskin requires gentle care. Avoid exposing it to water or harsh chemicals. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust, and store it in a cool, dry place. For deeper cleaning, use a leather-specific cleaner and conditioner to preserve its softness and prevent drying.

Is this jacket suitable for all seasons?

While the lambskin is lightweight and breathable, it’s best suited for spring, autumn, and mild winter days. The polyester lining provides minimal insulation, so layering may be needed in colder weather. It’s not ideal for heavy rain or extreme temperatures.

What makes the asymmetrical zipper unique?

The asymmetrical zipper is a signature feature of the Perfecto style, originally designed for functionality on motorcycles. It allows for easier movement and adds a rebellious, edgy aesthetic. The zipper also helps shield against wind when fully closed.
