The iconic Perfecto® reimagined in vibrant red lambskin.

Schott’s LCW8600 RED is a modern take on the legendary Perfecto® jacket, crafted in supple, lightweight lambskin that moves with you. Designed for women, this piece retains the rebellious spirit of the original while offering a refined, contemporary fit. The deep red hue adds a bold twist to the classic biker silhouette, making it a statement piece that stands out without sacrificing timeless appeal.

A heritage design with thoughtful details.

This jacket stays true to the Perfecto® DNA with its signature features: snap-button shoulder epaulettes, a press-stud collar, and a belted waist for a structured yet comfortable fit. The 57 cm length hits just right, balancing coverage and style. Functional elements like the chest pocket, two side pockets, and zippered wrist gussets ensure practicality, while the polyester lining adds a touch of comfort. Whether you’re riding through the city or adding edge to an everyday look, this jacket adapts effortlessly.

Lightweight lambskin for year-round wear.

The lambskin used here is soft and pliable, offering a lighter alternative to traditional cowhide without compromising durability. It’s ideal for transitional seasons—layer it over a sweater in autumn or a lightweight top in spring. The absence of fur keeps the focus on the leather’s natural texture, which will develop a unique patina over time, telling your story with every wear.

Schott is the name behind the original Perfecto®, the world’s first motorcycle jacket, introduced in 1928. Born in New York, the brand became a symbol of rebellion and American quality manufacturing, worn by icons from Marlon Brando to punk rockers. Today, Schott continues to honour its heritage, blending timeless designs with modern techniques. Each piece is built to last, reflecting the brand’s commitment to quality and authenticity—no shortcuts, just leather with soul.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

This jacket is made from lambskin leather, known for its softness and lightweight feel. Over time, lambskin develops a unique patina, softening further and gaining character with wear. It’s more delicate than cowhide, so it requires careful handling to maintain its appearance.

How should I choose the right size for a fitted cut?

The standard cut is designed to fit snugly while allowing room for layering. If you prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down, but ensure you can comfortably fasten the belt and move your arms. The length of 57 cm falls just below the waist, so check your torso measurement for the best fit.

Are the press studs on the shoulders and collar functional?

Yes, the press studs on the shoulders and collar are functional. They allow you to adjust the fit, particularly around the neckline, and can be fastened or left open for a more relaxed look.

Can this jacket be worn in warmer weather?

The lambskin leather is lightweight and breathable, making it suitable for transitional seasons like spring and autumn. However, it may not provide enough warmth for winter unless layered with a sweater or scarf.

How do the wrist zips improve comfort?

The wrist zips, known as gussets, provide extra flexibility and ease of movement. They allow you to adjust the fit around the wrists, making it easier to slip the jacket on or off, especially if you’re wearing gloves or have broader hands.

What’s the best way to clean and maintain this jacket?

Lambskin leather should only be cleaned by a professional leather specialist to avoid damaging its delicate surface. Avoid exposing it to rain or moisture, and store it in a cool, dry place with a breathable cover to prevent mould or discolouration.

Is the belt purely decorative or adjustable?

The belt is both functional and decorative. It features a buckle closure, allowing you to cinch the waist for a more tailored silhouette or leave it loose for a relaxed fit. The belt adds structure while enhancing the jacket’s classic style.
