Aviator jacket meets modern femininity in this Schott NYC classic

The LCW9185 BLACK is where the legendary heritage of aviator jackets meets contemporary women’s tailoring. Crafted from supple lambskin leather, this piece balances the rugged spirit of early flight gear with a sleek, urban silhouette. The slim-fit cut skims the body without restricting movement, making it as practical for city commutes as it is stylish for weekend outings.

Designed for adaptability, built for comfort

Schott has reimagined the aviator jacket with thoughtful details: a removable synthetic fur collar for seasonal flexibility, a quilted polyester lining for warmth, and rib-knit cuffs and waistband to seal out the wind. The central zip closure, secured with a snap-button placket, ensures a snug fit, while two flap pockets and two side pockets offer both storage and a refined aesthetic. Whether layered over a knit dress or paired with slim trousers, this jacket transitions effortlessly from autumn chill to winter frost.

Schott NYC is the name behind the original perfecto jacket, born in 1928 when Irving Schott designed the first motorcycle jacket for Harley-Davidson riders. Since then, the brand has become synonymous with American outerwear, blending military influences with streetwear practicality. Schott’s expertise in quality manufacturing and functional design is evident in every stitch, from aviator jackets to biker classics—each piece tells a story of durability and timeless style.

Frequently Asked Questions

How thick is the lambskin leather used in this jacket?

The lambskin leather is thin and supple, offering a soft touch while maintaining durability. It typically ranges between 0.8mm and 1.2mm in thickness, making it lightweight yet protective.

Can the synthetic fur collar be removed easily?

Yes, the synthetic fur collar is designed to be fully detachable. It attaches securely with hidden snaps, allowing you to remove or reattach it effortlessly depending on the weather or style preference.

Is the quilted lining warm enough for winter?

The quilted polyester lining provides moderate warmth, making it suitable for autumn and mild winter conditions. For colder temperatures, layering with a sweater or thermal underneath is recommended.

How should I care for the lambskin leather to maintain its softness?

To preserve the softness of lambskin, avoid exposing it to water or direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust and apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for delicate leathers every few months.

Does the slim fit allow for layering underneath?

The slim fit is tailored to follow the silhouette closely, so while it accommodates light layering, such as a thin jumper or shirt, bulkier items may feel restrictive. It’s best suited for streamlined layering.

Are the rib-knit cuffs and waistband stretchy?

Yes, the rib-knit cuffs and waistband are made from a stretchy, elasticated fabric that provides a snug fit while allowing flexibility and movement. They also help seal out wind for added comfort.

How does the leather age over time?

Lambskin leather develops a unique patina with wear, softening further and gaining character. The natural oils in the leather will darken slightly and create a subtle sheen, enhancing its vintage appeal over time.
