An icon reborn, crafted for the modern rider

The Schott LC1140ICON BLACK X is not just a leather jacket—it’s a piece of history reimagined for today’s streets. Born from the legendary Perfecto® lineage, this jacket carries the DNA of the original 1928 design, the first-ever motorcycle jacket to be mass-produced. The LC1140ICON BLACK X stays true to its roots with a thick, full-grain cowhide exterior that’s built to withstand the elements while developing a rich patina over time. The matte black finish, paired with silver-toned zips and snap buttons, gives it that unmistakable biker edge, while the streamlined silhouette keeps it versatile enough for urban wear.

A jacket designed for movement and durability

Schott has refined the LC1140ICON BLACK X with practicality in mind. The cowhide, sourced for its durability and natural resistance to abrasion, is cut in a regular fit that balances comfort and structure. Inside, a lightweight cotton-polyester lining ensures breathability without adding bulk, making it ideal for transitional weather—cool enough for spring and autumn, yet sturdy enough to layer over a sweater in winter. The jacket’s construction is reinforced where it matters most: snap-button shoulder epaulettes for added structure, zippered chest and side pockets for secure storage, and adjustable waist straps to tailor the fit. Wrist zips allow for easy on-and-off, even over gloves, while three internal pockets offer discreet storage for essentials.

From the road to the city, a timeless statement

This is a jacket that doesn’t just look the part—it *is* the part. The LC1140ICON BLACK X channels the rebellious spirit of the original Perfecto®, worn by everyone from Marlon Brando in *The Wild One* to punk rockers and modern-day urban explorers. Its rock-inspired biker aesthetic pairs effortlessly with raw denim, boots, and a simple tee for a classic look, but it’s just as at home over a hoodie or layered with a scarf for a contemporary twist. Whether you’re riding through the city or stepping out for a night, this jacket is designed to move with you, ageing gracefully with every wear.

Schott NYC is the name behind the Perfecto®, the world’s first motorcycle jacket, introduced in 1928. Founded in 1913 by brothers Irving and Jack Schott, the brand revolutionised outerwear with its durable, functional designs, originally crafted for postal workers and motorcyclists. Over a century later, Schott remains a benchmark for quality manufacturing, blending American heritage with timeless style. The LC1140ICON BLACK X is a testament to that legacy—uncompromising in quality, steeped in history, and designed to be worn for decades.
