Men's Jacket Schott P617H BLACK

An heirloom in the making, the P617H Black is the kind of leather jacket that doesn’t just age—it evolves.

Schott’s P617H Black is a modern interpretation of the Perfecto, the legendary motorcycle jacket that has defined rebellious elegance since 1928. The result is a material that is as resilient as it is refined, with a teacore finish that deepens in colour and develops a lustrous patina over time. At 1.1 to 1.3 mm thick, the leather strikes a perfect balance between structure and suppleness, moulding to the wearer’s movements without sacrificing durability.

A design that honours tradition while embracing modernity.

The P617H Black features Schott’s signature regular fit, offering a comfortable silhouette that flatters without constricting. The asymmetrical zip closure, a hallmark of the Perfecto lineage, is paired with hidden snap buttons under the collar and lapels for added security. Expansion pleats at the sleeves ensure unrestricted movement, while three external zippered pockets and one internal pocket provide practical storage. The absence of a coin pocket lends the jacket a sleek, uncluttered profile. Inside, a deadstock Glen Plaid wool lining adds a touch of vintage charm, its classic pattern a nod to the jacket’s timeless appeal.

Versatility meets enduring style.

Designed to transition seamlessly across seasons, the P617H Black is as at home over a lightweight sweater in autumn as it is layered over a T-shirt in spring. Its adaptability extends to styling, too—pair it with raw denim and boots for a rugged, rock-inspired look, or dress it up with tailored trousers and Chelsea boots for a more polished edge. The Cordovan leather’s natural resilience makes it suitable for urban commutes and weekend adventures alike, while its ability to develop a unique patina ensures that no two jackets will ever look the same.
