A varsity jacket with a pilot’s edge, reimagined in supple cowhide leather.

The LC5100 STRIPE NAVY/OFFWHITE from Schott takes the classic varsity silhouette and elevates it with full-grain cowhide leather, offering a refined yet sporty aesthetic. The deep navy blue leather is punctuated by off-white ribbed stripes at the cuffs and hem, a nod to vintage athletic jackets while keeping the look sharp and contemporary. This piece bridges the gap between casual weekend wear and a more polished, urban style.

Designed for movement and comfort.

The regular fit ensures a relaxed yet tailored silhouette, making it versatile enough for layering over a hoodie or a lightweight sweater. The shirt-style collar adds a touch of sophistication, while the tonal Schott NYC® embroidery on the chest and back reinforces the brand’s heritage without overpowering the design. Practical details like the two side pockets, a snap-button inner pocket, and a zipped inner pocket provide functionality without compromising the clean lines of the jacket.

A leather jacket that adapts to every season.

While leather jackets are often associated with autumn and winter, this varsity-inspired design is lightweight enough for transitional weather. The cowhide leather is durable yet pliable, moulding to the wearer’s movements over time. Whether you’re pairing it with jeans and sneakers for a laid-back look or dressing it up with tailored trousers and boots, the LC5100 STRIPE NAVY/OFFWHITE offers a modern twist on a timeless silhouette.

Over the decades, Schott has expanded its expertise to include a wide range of leather outerwear, from aviator jackets to varsity-inspired designs, all crafted with the same commitment to quality and durability. Today, Schott remains a family-owned business, blending heritage quality manufacturing with contemporary style.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

This jacket is made from full-grain cowhide leather. It is durable and develops a rich patina over time, softening slightly with wear while maintaining its structure. The navy colour will deepen subtly, adding character to the piece.

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

Professional leather cleaning is recommended to preserve the material. Avoid exposing it to excessive moisture or direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Store it on a padded hanger in a well-ventilated area when not in use.

Is the ribbed cuffing and hem stretchable?

Yes, the ribbed cuffs and hem are made from a cotton blend with natural stretch, allowing them to retain their shape while providing a snug fit around the wrists and waist.

What is the weight of the leather used?

The cowhide leather used is of medium weight, offering a balance between durability and comfort. It provides warmth without being overly heavy, making it suitable for transitional seasons.

Can the jacket be worn in rainy conditions?

While the leather is treated to resist light moisture, it is not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to rain may damage the leather, so it is best to avoid heavy downpours or use a protective spray designed for leather.

How does the regular fit compare to a slim or oversized fit?

The regular fit offers a comfortable, slightly relaxed silhouette without being boxy. It is more forgiving than a slim fit but not as loose as an oversized cut, making it versatile for layering over jumpers or lightweight knits.

Are the interior pockets secure for storing valuables?

The jacket features one snap-button pocket and one zipped pocket on the interior, providing secure storage for small items like keys, cards, or a wallet. The zipped pocket offers added security against loss.
