An aviator jacket that carries a century of aviation heritage in every stitch

The Schott LC1380 in black is not just a jacket—it’s a piece of history reimagined for modern wear. Born from the same lineage as the iconic Perfecto, this aviator-style jacket blends rugged functionality with timeless design. Crafted from thick, full-grain cowhide, it’s built to withstand the elements while developing a rich patina over time. The removable shearling collar and quilted inner vest make it a versatile choice for autumn and winter, adapting to both urban streets and colder climates. With its clean lines, practical pockets, and understated elegance, it’s a jacket that respects tradition without sacrificing contemporary style.

A jacket designed for those who value substance over trends

The LC1380 is cut in a regular fit, offering enough room for layering without feeling bulky. The ribbed cuffs and waistband ensure a snug fit, while the heavy-duty metal zipper adds durability. Inside, the detachable quilted vest provides extra warmth, and the shearling collar—whether genuine or synthetic—can be fastened or removed with ease. The jacket features a mix of functional pockets: a zippered chest pocket for secure storage, snap-button side pockets for quick access, and an interior pocket for valuables. This is a jacket meant to be worn, not just admired—its weight (around 1 kg) and sturdy construction make it a reliable companion for daily wear.

Schott NYC is a name synonymous with American outerwear, a brand that has shaped the history of leather jackets since 1928. Founded by brothers Irving and Jack Schott, the company created the first motorcycle jacket—the Perfecto—which became a symbol of rebellion and style. Over the decades, Schott has dressed everyone from aviators to rock stars, always staying true to its roots: quality materials, expert quality manufacturing, and designs that stand the test of time. The LC1380 is a testament to this legacy, offering the same attention to detail and durability that has made Schott a benchmark in leather goods.
