The LC1259 MOKA by Schott:

A bomber jacket that doesn’t just keep you warm—it tells a story. This isn’t just outerwear; it’s a piece of history reimagined for the modern wardrobe. Inspired by the B-3 jackets worn by US Air Force crews during the Second World War, the LC1259 MOKA blends rugged functionality with timeless style. The kind of jacket that looks just as at home on a city street as it would have in a 1940s hangar.

Crafted for the cold, built to last

Schott has taken the classic bomber silhouette and elevated it with full-grain sheepskin—double-faced for maximum warmth and durability. The outer layer is supple, aged leather in a rich moka brown, while the inside is lined with the same sheepskin, creating a natural barrier against the cold. This isn’t just a jacket; it’s a shield against winter’s bite, designed to keep you comfortable whether you’re braving a frosty morning commute or a weekend in the countryside.

Design that’s as practical as it is stylish

Every detail on the LC1259 MOKA serves a purpose. The generous aviator collar, lined with genuine fur, can be fastened snugly with a buckle strap to lock in warmth. Two fleece-lined hand-warmer pockets offer a cosy refuge for your fingers, while adjustable side straps allow you to cinch the waist for a tailored fit. The zippered front ensures easy wear, and the leather-bound seams add both strength and a touch of vintage charm. This is a jacket that’s been thought through—no unnecessary frills, just smart, functional design.

Versatility that goes beyond the season

While the LC1259 MOKA is undeniably a winter jacket, its style transcends the season. Pair it with jeans and boots for a rugged, off-duty look, or throw it over a wool trouser and a roll-neck for a more polished ensemble. The moka brown hue is neutral enough to work with almost any colour palette, while the aged leather finish gives it an effortlessly lived-in feel. This is a jacket that adapts to your life, not the other way around.

Schott isn’t just a brand—it’s an institution in the world of leather outerwear. Founded in 1928 in New York, the company is credited with creating the first leather bomber jacket for the US military, a design that would go on to define generations of style. Today, Schott remains a family-owned business, committed to quality manufacturing and quality. Their jackets aren’t just made; they’re built to last, with an attention to detail that’s rare in today’s fast fashion landscape. When you wear a Schott, you’re wearing a piece of history.
