Meet the Schott LC5100STRIPE in Sky Blue/Ecru—a varsity jacket reimagined in premium leather.

This isn’t just another leather jacket; it’s a modern take on the classic varsity silhouette, crafted in full-grain cowhide for a balance of structure and softness. The Sky Blue and Ecru colourway brings a fresh, contemporary edge to a style rooted in American collegiate tradition, while the striped ribbed cuffs and waistband nod to the sporty heritage of the varsity jacket. The result? A piece that feels both nostalgic and thoroughly modern.

A jacket built for versatility, not just style.

The LC5100STRIPE is designed to adapt to your wardrobe, not the other way around. The full-zip closure makes it easy to layer over a hoodie or under a coat, while the shirt-style collar adds a polished touch that works just as well with jeans as it does with tailored trousers. Inside, you’ll find practical details like a snap-button pocket and a zippered compartment—because even a stylish jacket should keep your essentials secure. The cotton lining ensures breathability, so it’s as comfortable in autumn as it is in spring.

Leather that tells a story, not just a label.

Schott doesn’t just use leather; it selects it with intention. This jacket is made from full-grain cowhide, a material known for its durability and natural character. Over time, the leather will develop a unique patina, softening and darkening in the areas you wear most—your elbows, the edges of the pockets, the collar. It’s a jacket that evolves with you, gaining personality with every outing. And because Schott is committed to responsible sourcing, the leather is certified by the Leather Working Group, ensuring it meets strict environmental and ethical standards.

Schott isn’t just a brand; it’s a piece of American history. Founded in 1928 by brothers Irving and Jack Schott, the label is credited with creating the first leather motorcycle jacket—the iconic Perfecto. Nearly a century later, Schott remains a benchmark for quality manufacturing, blending heritage techniques with modern innovation. Every jacket is still made in the USA, a rarity in today’s fast-fashion landscape, and the brand’s attention to detail is evident in every stitch, zipper, and seam. When you wear a Schott, you’re not just wearing a jacket; you’re wearing a legacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

This jacket is made from full-grain cowhide leather, certified by the Leather Working Group. Cowhide is durable and develops a rich patina with wear, softening slightly while maintaining its structure. The natural grain may darken subtly, enhancing its character over time.

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

Cleaning should only be done by a professional leather specialist to avoid damaging the material. Avoid exposing the leather to excessive moisture or direct heat. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally on a padded hanger to maintain its shape.

Is the jacket suitable for layering in colder weather?

Yes, the relaxed fit and ribbed cuffs help trap warmth, making it suitable for layering over lightweight jumpers or hoodies. However, it does not include insulation, so additional layers may be needed in very cold conditions.

What are the dimensions of the ribbed cuffs and waistband?

The ribbed cuffs and waistband are designed with a striped, elasticated finish. The cuffs measure approximately 2 cm in width, while the waistband is around 3 cm, providing a snug yet comfortable fit.

Does the jacket have any water-resistant properties?

Cowhide leather offers natural resistance to light moisture, but it is not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to rain or damp conditions may cause the leather to absorb water, so it’s best to avoid heavy downpours.

How does the cotton lining affect breathability?

The 100% cotton lining enhances breathability, making the jacket comfortable for extended wear. It helps regulate temperature by allowing air circulation, reducing the risk of overheating in milder weather.

Can the jacket be worn in both casual and semi-formal settings?

The varsity-inspired design and colour-blocking give it a casual, sporty aesthetic, best suited for everyday wear. While it can be dressed up slightly with tailored trousers or a collared shirt, it remains a relaxed, informal piece.
