Men's Jacket Schott LC1259 BLACK
Product Description
Schott’s LC1259 Black: a bomber jacket that rewrote the rules of winter warmth
In 1943 the US Army Air Force needed a flight jacket that could keep pilots alive at 25,000 feet. Schott took the B-3 specification—double-face sheepskin, 1.2 mm thick, wool pile on the inside—and turned it into a civilian legend.
From cockpit to street
The original B-3 had no zip; Schott added a heavy-duty brass zipper that runs straight down the front and is backed by a snap-button storm flap. The collar is still adjustable with two leather straps and brass buckles, and the waist is cinched with the same wide leather belts that kept the jacket from ballooning in the slipstream. Two angled hand-warmer pockets are lined with the same wool as the body, so your fingers stay warm even when the zip is open.
Built to last, designed to age
Double-face sheepskin is naturally water-resistant and windproof; the wool wicks moisture while the leather develops a rich patina over time. The seams are double-stitched with waxed thread, and the hardware—brass zippers, D-rings, buckles—is the same grade Schott has used since the 1940s. The LWG certification confirms the tannery meets strict environmental standards, so the jacket is as responsible as it is rugged.
Schott NYC began in 1913 as a raincoat factory in Manhattan. By 1928 they had patented the first zip-front jacket, and in 1943 they supplied the US Air Force with the B-3 bomber. Today every Schott jacket is still cut from the same patterns, using the same brass hardware and double-stitch construction. The brand remains family-owned, still based in New York, and still obsessed with the details that make a jacket last half a century.

Frequently Asked Questions
The sheepskin is double-faced, meaning it consists of two layers of leather with the wool intact, providing substantial thickness for superior insulation. While the exact measurement isn’t specified, this construction is typically around 4-5mm thick.
Yes, the genuine black fur collar should be kept away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture. Use a soft-bristled brush to maintain its texture, and store the jacket in a cool, dry place when not in use.
The jacket features high-quality hardware, but the zipper itself is not specifically designed to be water-resistant. It’s best to avoid exposure to heavy rain to preserve the leather and hardware.
The leather will develop a natural patina with wear, softening further while maintaining its durability. The wool side may slightly compact but will retain its insulating properties if cared for properly.
No, the waist adjustment straps are permanently attached to the jacket. They are designed to help customise the fit while maintaining the jacket’s original structure.
The jacket is unlined, as the double-faced sheepskin provides both the outer shell and the inner lining, with the wool side acting as a natural insulator.
While the double-faced sheepskin offers durability and warmth, the jacket is primarily designed as a bomber-style piece rather than a dedicated motorcycle jacket. It lacks features like reinforced armour or abrasion-resistant panels for high-impact protection.
