Schott’s LCTEDDYS23BI: where varsity spirit meets premium lambskin

This is not just another leather jacket—it’s a reinterpretation of the American college jacket, crafted in the kind of lambskin that Schott has perfected since the 1920s. The LCTEDDYS23BI swaps traditional wool sleeves for a full-lambskin shell, giving the varsity silhouette the weight, drape and durability of a true leather piece. The result is a jacket that feels as at home on a café terrace in autumn as it does on a scooter ride through the city.

Colour-blocked, snap-buttoned, and built to last

The two-tone palette—glossy black paired with off-white—creates a graphic contrast that nods to vintage varsity jackets without ever looking costume-y. The snap-button placket is pure Schott: functional, unfussy, and instantly recognisable. Inside, two welt pockets and two internal pockets keep essentials secure, while rib-knit cuffs, collar and hem add just enough stretch to seal out the wind. The Leather Working Group certification confirms that every hide is sourced and tanned with environmental responsibility in mind.

A jacket that adapts to you, not the other way around

Lambskin is naturally lightweight and supple, so the LCTEDDYS23BI layers effortlessly over hoodies, knitwear or a simple tee. The standard cut leaves room for movement without excess bulk, making it a year-round piece that transitions from crisp spring mornings to chilly winter evenings. Because it’s only lightly lined, it breathes better than a fully insulated jacket, yet the dense weave of the lambskin still blocks wind and light rain. Think of it as your go-to mid-layer: smart enough for a dinner out, rugged enough for a weekend away.

Schott NYC began in 1928 when Irving Schott stitched the first motorcycle jacket in a Manhattan loft. Nearly a century later, every snap, seam and hide still carries the same obsessive attention to detail. The brand’s archives—from the original Perfecto to the varsity jackets of the 1950s—inform every contemporary piece, ensuring that each new design feels both timeless and fresh. Today, Schott remains family-owned, producing leather goods in the same spirit: no shortcuts, no seasonal gimmicks, just garments built to outlast trends.
