Schott’s LC Classic Zip: the pilot jacket that never goes out of style

The Schott LC Classic Zip in black is a modern interpretation of the iconic pilot jacket, a staple of casual outerwear since the early 20th century. Crafted from full-grain cowhide leather, this piece balances rugged durability with a refined, timeless silhouette. The jacket features a clean, zip-front closure, zippered pockets, and a removable shearling collar—elements that nod to its aviation roots while remaining versatile enough for everyday wear. Designed with a regular fit, it adapts seamlessly to all seasons, making it a reliable layer for urban or casual outings.

A legacy of quality manufacturing, reimagined for today

The cowhide leather used here is thick enough to withstand daily wear yet supple enough to mould to the body over time, developing a unique patina that tells its own story. The removable shearling collar adds warmth and texture, offering an extra layer of protection against the elements without compromising the jacket’s sleek profile. Whether you’re drawn to its aviation heritage or its understated elegance, the LC Classic Zip is a piece that grows with you.

Schott NYC is a name synonymous with American outerwear heritage. Founded in 1928 by brothers Irving and Jack Schott, the brand is credited with creating the first leather motorcycle jacket—the legendary Perfecto—in 1928. Over the decades, Schott has expanded its repertoire to include pilot jackets, bombers, and casual leather pieces, all rooted in the same ethos of durability, functionality, and timeless design. The brand’s commitment to quality manufacturing has made it a favourite among style enthusiasts and practical dressers alike, blending military influences with urban sensibilities.
