Schott’s P673 Brown: A Heavyweight Nubuck Jacket with a Story to Tell

This isn’t just another leather jacket—it’s a piece of American workwear history, reimagined for those who value substance over trends. The P673 Brown, also known as the "Storm," is crafted from heavyweight oiled nubuck cowhide, a material chosen for its rugged durability and the way it ages into something deeply personal. Over time, the oiled finish develops a patina that tells your story—scuffs, creases, and all—while the nubuck texture gives it a tactile richness that smooth leather can’t match.

A Jacket Built for Movement and Warmth

The P673 isn’t just about looks. Inside, a 100% wool tartan lining wraps you in warmth, making it a reliable companion from autumn through to spring. The sleeves are lined with a smooth nylon-satin blend for easy layering, while the bi-swing back panel ensures you can move freely—whether you’re on a bike, behind the wheel, or just navigating a busy city. Three zippered front pockets offer secure storage, and adjustable side tabs let you fine-tune the fit for comfort or style.

Designed for the Details

Schott didn’t cut corners here. The antique brass hardware adds a vintage touch, while the split collar nods to classic biker and café racer aesthetics. The trim fit—snug through the shoulders and torso—gives a structured silhouette without sacrificing mobility. And because it’s made in Schott’s New Jersey factory, you’re getting a jacket that’s built to last, not just for a season, but for decades.

Schott NYC is the brand that wrote the rulebook on American leather jackets. Founded in 1928 by brothers Irving and Jack Schott, the company created the first ever motorcycle jacket—the Perfecto—in 1928, a design so iconic it became a symbol of rebellion and style. Still family-owned and still made in the USA, Schott blends old-world quality manufacturing with timeless design, producing jackets that are as much about function as they are about heritage.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

This jacket is made from heavyweight oiled nubuck cowhide. Over time, it develops a unique patina with natural scars and a sophisticated, worn-in elegance due to its oiled finish.

How warm is the lining and is it suitable for winter?

The body lining is 100% wool with a tartan pattern, providing excellent thermal comfort for cold weather. It’s ideal for autumn to spring but may not be sufficient for harsh winter conditions without layering.

What is the bi-swing back feature?

The bi-swing back is a pleated design that allows for greater freedom of movement, making it particularly comfortable for riding or active use.

How should I size this jacket if I’m between sizes?

The fit is trim, particularly around the shoulders and torso. If you’re between sizes, opt for the larger size to ensure a comfortable fit without restricting movement.

Is the nubuck finish difficult to maintain?

Nubuck requires more care than smooth leather. It’s prone to staining and should be regularly brushed to maintain its texture. Avoid exposure to water and use a specialised nubuck protector.

What type of hardware is used on the jacket?

The jacket features antique brass hardware, which adds to its vintage aesthetic and ensures durability.

Can this jacket be worn in the rain?

While the oiled finish offers some water resistance, nubuck is not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to rain may damage the leather, so it’s best to avoid wet conditions or use a protective spray.
