Meet the 530 WINE: a café racer jacket that marries American quality manufacturing with timeless rebellion.

This is not just another leather jacket—it’s a piece of Schott NYC’s legacy, reimagined in a deep, wine-red waxed cowhide that ages like a fine story. carefully crafted in the USA, the 530 WINE is cut from full-aniline drum-dyed leather, a process that gives it a natural pebbled grain and a supple yet robust texture right out of the box. No break-in period needed; this jacket is ready to ride, strut, or stand out from day one.

A café racer with a modern edge.

The 530 WINE channels the spirit of the classic café racer but with a slimmer, more contemporary fit. At 26 inches in length, it sits just right—long enough to cover, short enough to move with you. The mandarin collar, secured with Schott’s signature embossed press studs, adds a touch of vintage flair, while the three zippered external pockets (complete with chain pulls) keep functionality at the forefront. Inside, a plaid cotton lining nods to the brand’s heritage, and a leather-lined chest pocket offers a discreet spot for essentials. The bi-swing back and zippered sleeves with wind flaps ensure mobility and protection, whether you’re on a bike or navigating city streets.

Built to last, designed to evolve.

This jacket isn’t just about looks—it’s about longevity. Over time, the wine-red hue will develop a unique patina, darkening in high-wear areas and softening with every wear. The nickel-plated brass hardware resists tarnish, and the pebbled grain hides scuffs like a pro. It’s a jacket that grows with you, adapting to your life and style.

Versatility, redefined.

The 530 WINE is as at home on a motorcycle as it is in a dimly lit bar or a casual dinner. Pair it with a white tee and black jeans for a rock-inspired look, or layer it over a button-down and chinos for a smarter edge. The slim fit and rich colour make it a standout piece for autumn and winter, but its medium-weight leather (2.75-3.25 oz) ensures it’s not too heavy for cooler summer evenings. Whether you’re a rider or a rebel at heart, this jacket is built to make a statement.

Schott NYC is the name that wrote the book on leather jackets. Founded in 1913 by brothers Irving and Jack Schott, the brand invented the first motorcycle jacket in 1928—the iconic Perfecto—and hasn’t looked back since. Based in New York, Schott has dressed everyone from Marlon Brando to punk rockers, blending American grit with timeless style. Their jackets are carefully crafted in the USA, using leathers sourced from around the world but finished with a precision that’s pure New York. When you wear a Schott, you’re not just wearing a jacket; you’re wearing a piece of history.
