Editor’s note: While the Saddleback giveaway last night, we’ve got another awesome holiday season giveaway of one the finest leather products in the land: a jacket from Schott NYC. Here Schott shares its tips in breaking in a leather jacket. For a chance to win one of their uber-manly jackets and coats, check below for details.
Tips for Breaking in a Leather Jacket
1. Figure out what type of leather you are working with. To break in a jacket, the leather must be strong enough to withstand abuse. Lambskin is soft and luxurious but does not have the same tensile strength of cowhide or goatskin. Leather is not like fabric in the sense that you can stitch up a hole; marks and scratches are permanent on skins. It is important to choose a strong durable leather to really wear it in and make it conform to you.
2. Take it slow. Anything you do to the jacket cannot be undone. Look at old leather jackets that are worn in and see where there is the most wear to the leather. Usually the collar, pockets and under the sleeves get the most wear from friction and rubbing. Leather will naturally break in unevenly over time so be sure not to be too precise.
3. Get caught in a light rain. Water will soften up the leather and allow you to stretch and crease at specific points on your body. Many people will tell you to put your leather jacket in the washing machine and dryer, which is a very effective method but will cause serious shrinkage of the leather. In order to avoid shrinking your jacket significantly, wear it through a light drizzle until the leather is damp. Bend your arms, find a punching bag, or do some pushups, anything you can to get some wrinkles in the right places while the jacket is wet until it dries on you. If you can’t wait for the weather, lightly spritzing the jacket with water will work too, but just be sure to do it slowly and not to drench it. As it dries it will form to your body.
4. Rough it up. To take off some of the finish in highly worn areas, use steel wool to lightly and unevenly scratch the surface. Sandpaper is generally too abrasive and harder to control. Remember to use uneven strokes and go very slowly to check your progress because you can’t go back and erase the scratches. However, the jacket will continue to change and break in over time so if you make a mistake just try rubbing this area more as you wear it to naturally break it in. Crumple the jacket in a ball, tie it up with twine and play catch with it; the more you throw it around and soften it up, the more it takes on your unique shape and fit.
5. There is no substitute for just wearing it. Each Schott jacket starts as a blank canvas for years of wear and customization. Each scratch and nick tells a story unique to the person wearing it whether it is on their motorcycle for a cross country road trip or to the ball game and back.
The Schott NYC Jacket Giveaway
A lot of leather jacket makers try to spin stories about their company’s heritage (even if they go way back to 1980) while making World War II-style jackets. Schott’s, on the other hand, is a true-blue, real-deal, slice of Americana. In 1913, brothers Irving and Jack Schott started making raincoats in a basement on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Innovators from the beginning, they were the first to put a zipper on a jacket and the first to design and produce a leather motorcycle jacket (the Perfecto-named after Irving’s favorite cigar). At the start of World War II, Schott’s was commissioned by the military to make bomber jackets for its airmen and pea coats for its sailors. Schott’s would produce these leather and wool jackets for the US Military for the next 60 years.
Post-war, Marlon Brando made Schott’s Perfecto motorcycle jacket famous in the iconic film The Wild Ones. And James Dean added to the legend, wearing the jacket everywhere he went until his tragic death.
Today the company is still run by third and fourth generation members of the Schott family. They still make most of their coats and jackets right here in the USA. And they still design their outerwear with a rugged, manly style that manages to invoke both tradition and quality and freedom and rebellion.
Now one of these babies can be yours. Enter the Schott NYC giveaway for a chance to don one of these legendary coats and jackets. You have two ways to enter: leaving a comment or Twittering about the contest. Do both to up your chances of winning.

Vintage Leather Police Jacket J604
Nothing like the charm of the old style police speakeasy buster.
The Jacket needs a Canadian flag option.
I’d love to win the Washed Lambskin Jean Jacket JF202. Seems pretty unique.
This would be nice: http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-perfecto-leather-motorcycle-jacket.htm
The leather looks great, but the wool car coat (in gray) has my name written all over it: http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/wool-car-coat.htm
Amazing jackets

Tough call – think I’m between the rancher jacket
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/rancher/split-cowhide-leather-rancher-coat.htm
The A2 flight jacket
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/a-2-flight-jacket.htm
…or the wool car coat:
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/wool-car-coat.htm
I’d love one of the lined bomber jackets, but it doesn’t make much sense in Texas
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/g-1-leather-flight-jacket.htm
My grandfather owned a stearman Biplane which he unfortunately sold before I got a chance to fly with him. He still has his leather bomber jacket but it doesn’t fit me. That’s why I’d go with this: http://www.schottnyc.com/products/men/bomber/military-style-antique-lambskin-leather.htm
This is a great company! My favorite is http://www.schottnyc.com/products/fabric/leather/casual-weekend-pebbled-cowhide-leather.htm but there are so many great coats there. Wow!
Big fan of the 654 Cowhide Casual Racer!
This is it…http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/casual-weekend-pebbled-cowhide-leather.htm

Damn I love leather jackets. If I win I’d get the Easy Rider Striped Leather Motorcycle Jacket or maybe the Men’s Multi-Zipper Leather Bomber Jacket. Both look awesome.
~Tim
That Vintage 585 Motorcycle jacket is pretty damned perfect.
A great selection to pick from. I would go with http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/vintage-motorcycle-jacket.htm
if I had my choice.
Boo Yeah. Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135.

This one: http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/casual-weekend-pebbled-cowhide-leather.htm
In black. But breaking it in artificially isn’t Manly.
I truly can’t decide between the Leather Field Jacket (JF207) and the Leather Naval Pea Coat [Long] (140L):
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/leather-field-jacket.htm
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/leather-peacoat-in-long-sizes.htm
Maybe if I’m lucky I’ll be forced to decide!

Definately
I’d go for this one. It’s a classic look
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/fabric/leather/g-1-leather-flight-jacket.htm
Put me down for the casual weekend – http://www.schottnyc.com/products/men/carcoat/casual-weekend-pebbled-cowhide-leather.htm
I would have to go with the “Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket
from $418.00″ And i’d ask to eat on the open patio every where I ate this winter.
Nice Jackets!
This would be the one for me:
Men’s Multi-Zip Wool Field Jacket 7H803
I’d love the G1 Flight Jacket. AND I Promise to get it in the original black. It’s offered in “antique” but AoM men should be willing to “antique” it on their own.
Wow, fantastic jackets.
I’d have to say the Wool Car Coat — http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/wool-car-coat.htm
This one: http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/easy-rider-striped-leather-motorcycle.htm
Dang, although they do have women’s leather jackets, there aren’t any for us *coughs* curvaceous females. So I’d love to win the vintage motorcycle jacket http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/vintage-motorcycle-jacket.htm for my husband (who thankfully isn’t curvaceous).
I want this one!
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/casual-weekend-pebbled-cowhide-leather.htm
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/men/peacoat/classic-wool-naval-pea-coat.htm Seems nice.

This one is perfect. 135
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket
No doubt, the best one is the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/vintage-motorcycle-jacket.htm
This is the bst giveway next to the Saddleback Leather ones.
I’m torn.
I really like the Jeans Style Leather Jacket 100. It looks really comfortable and a great all-around spring/fall jacket.
The Multi Pocket Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 125 could let me extend my riding season by a few weeks though, which is pretty valuable too!
Nice Jackets!
purely based on needing a good dress coat, I would have to go with the leather navy pea coat.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/leather-naval-pea-coat.htm
It would look good over my suit.
Man, too many awesome choices! I guess I’ll go with the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135
Those jackets are absolutely amazing. Leather jackets rock!
This one is great!!!
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/double-breasted-military-leather-jacket.htm
Or this one:
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/a-2-flight-jacket.htm
It is neat to see a jacket like this one with a map inside it. It was a great idea to have the map sewn into the jacket, in the event you were shot down!
I like this article! Thank you.
I know it’s largely based on the jacket giveaway, but this article should spawn some more, I think, on how to break in other things – like shoes, hats, jeans, etc.
I’d love to have the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585 to ride around town in.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/men/leather-pants/vintage-motorcycle-jacket.htm
I’ve gotta say, I dig the 141.
Multizip Racer Jacket!
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/multizip-racer-jacket.htm
Definitely, the vintage motorcycle jacket. I could rock a jacket like that! Very cool!
I would like to have the A-2 Flight Jacket A2SM. I never knew there were so many styles of leather jackets.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/a-2-flight-jacket.htm
That jacket looks awesome.
Though those leather chaps are very tempting, I can’t resist wanting the “Vintage Leather Police Jacket J604″. I don’t know if I could pull it off, but I think somehow, the jacket would upgrade my coolness by a factor of ten.
THIS IS THE ONE I WANT!!! http://www.universaldesigns.ca/UDR/ID/IDjacket.html
I’d love to be able to wear the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket (141), so hopefully I get chosen!
My favorite for awhile, I have wanted a Classic B-3 Sheepskin for awhile … but with the limit on the contest, I would possibly go for the Easy Rider Striped Jacket.
they are all great but like the classic for me:
Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141
This one looks good
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/a-2-flight-jacket.htm
what lovely stuff. i’m going to have to agree with colleen g – the ladies selection is a bit too limited for me, but i would *love* the vintage motorcycle jacket 585 for my girl.
Men’s Classic Horsehide Racer Motorcycle Jacket with Spread Collar 689H
is great looking.
Great contest!
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135
All I really want for Christmas is a Schott Leather Navy Pea coat. I’ve dropped hints with the ol’lady, but she NEVER takes up on them. You are my only hope!
It would be un-manly of me to beg…
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/season/fall/leather-peacoat-in-long-sizes.htm
Ill take the Single Rider Steerhide leather Motorcycle Jacket 641 . I will wear it all over the LES, where the company began.
I love the Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket – http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-perfecto-leather-motorcycle-jacket1.htm

http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/multi-pocket-lambskin-bomber.htm
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/lambskin-bomber-jacket.htm
Got to go with American Made…
Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585
Now I just need the bike to go with it. When are you guys going to get a motorcycle giveaway going?
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-perfecto-steerhide-leather-motorcycle.htm
I’d get this one:
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/easy-rider-striped-leather-motorcycle.htm
It’s simple, but the stripes add a really nice touch of character.
Easy Rider Striped Leather Motorcycle Jacket 671 is definately my choice would have to go with a custom fitting i think but definitely stylish
Absolutely incredible looking jackets, one and all, but I have to say that I love the Leather Field Jacket #JF207. Yep, it’s more than the prize, and yep, I’d gladly pay the difference. Thanks to Schott NYC for the chance to win, and thanks to AoM for making it possible!
I like jackets.
I’m in love with the Classic Racer Jacket in Long Sizes 141L.
Man, those are some sweet jackets.
When I win, I’m gonna have a really tough time choosing between the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585 and the Split Cowhide Leather Rancher Coat 359.
Decisions, decisions…
The Wool Car Coat is awesome.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/a-2-flight-jacket.htm
Large Antique please!
I’d have to go with the classic Perfecto (#118) but the long version.
Schott makes some damn nice jackets. Very fine work. Fingers crossed!
Terrific contest. I think I’d have to go with the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141.
I’d like http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/perf-trimmed-lightweight-lambskin-cafe-racer.htm but they only have XLs… so that would be my first choice if they get some more in stock.
Otherwise, the http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/classic-wool-naval-pea-coat.htm looks good, even if it isn’t leather.
The Wool Blend Sweater Jacket Trooper looks really warm.
It’s a hard choice but I think I would have to go with the Casual Weekend. http://www.schottnyc.com/products/other/made-in-usa/casual-weekend-pebbled-cowhide-leather.htm
Some of the other ones look amazing as well. Thanks for the opportunity!

Seems like a good all around kind of jacket.
They’re all great though! Wish I could afford one haha
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/casual-weekend-pebbled-cowhide-leather.htm
Nice jackets! Never heard of this exact company but certainly have always admired this style. The one I liked the best (under $500 of course) – Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135
I’d prefer to stick with the classics: A-2 Naked Cowhide Leather Flight Jacket 184SM
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/one-star-perfecto-leather-motorcycle.htm
perfect, this would be amazing
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/men/perfecto/classic-perfecto-leather-motorcycle-jacket1.htm
The silhouette on this jacket is stunning
I would love to have the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket, #141 in black. I might just have to start riding a motor bike if I win!
The classic B-3 for cold Canadian winters.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/classic-b-3-sheepskin-leather-bomber.htm
This reminds me of the Seinfeld where Jerry buys the leather jacket. My favorite is the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585
Great contest and nice traffic builder gentlemen. Carry on.
The A-2 leather flight jacket is great, but I think I’ll have to go with the racer jacket to justify the recent motorcycle purchase!
Schott makes some supremely bad-ass jackets! I gotta go with the One Star Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 613.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/vintage-leather-police-jacket.htm
Vintage leather police jacket J604 looks pretty rad
The Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide leather coat, in black, for me:

Size medium please!
Love the Classic Racer Jacket look.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-racer-jacket-in-long.htm
Classic Perfecto Steerhide Leather Motorcycle Jacket 618 – It’s a beautiful thing.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-perfecto-steerhide-leather-motorcycle.htm
Nothing could top riding an Indian motorcycle and wearing the “Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585″:

http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/vintage-motorcycle-jacket.htm
This one for me – Vintage Leather Police Jacket J604.
I’m liking the Leather Field Jacket JF207.
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather
I have to agree with the simple standard. I might have to save up over the next 4 years to get one of these. Unless of course I get it from AoM!
I’ve had my eye on this particular jacket for a while now, so I would gladly pay the difference in order to acquire it:
Classic Perfecto Steerhide Leather Motorcycle Jacket 618 (LINK: http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-perfecto-steerhide-leather-motorcycle.htm)
I’ve also gone ahead and tweeted about this giveaway (LINK: http://twitter.com/shawnsjourney/status/6473829538)
Thanks to AoM and to Schott’s for organizing such a great giveaway!
Satin Lined Duffle Coat DU748
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/men/peacoat/leather-naval-pea-coat.htm
I’m for the “Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135″.
I’ve always liked the clean lines and minimal flash on a leather jacket. I’m afraid I look a little silly if I go for a more “flashy” jacket. Plain black for me, about a size 42 to 44.
I would take the Classic Horsehide Motorcycle Jacket 689H, gladly paying the extra. I might even spring to get it custom fit, as I am 6′4″, and most off the shelf doesn’t fit me well. Beautiful jackets all around, though.
Men’s Classic Horsehide Racer Motorcycle Jacket with Spread Collar 689H
The Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135 is my personal favorite. Simple and clean, but still solid and handsome… much like myself.
Those are some great looking jackets. I really like the Washed Lambskin Jean Jacket JF202…

I’ll have a Cowhide Casual Racer 654 in black, size small, thanking you.
Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket
I owned one of these back in high school, sold it to take a girl out for a fancy dinner. Not one of my smarter moves!!!
Definitely Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135 in Black
Military Style Antique Lambskin Leather Bomber Jacket
That Classic Racer 141 is sweet, but I spend more time flying than riding nowadays so I’d have to put my vote in for the leather G-1S
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/g-1-leather-flight-jacket.htm
Women’s Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141W
Thank you for the chance to be a winner

http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/cowhide-casual-racer.htm
Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141
always wanted one of those
This would be a great long motorcycle trip jacket. Has that classic Steve Mcqueen look.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/leather-field-jacket.htm
Can I change that? Turns out the G-1 is not made in the USA, and I’d be just as happy with the A-2.

I like #135.
Fantastic contest and I’d tweet it if I had one (this site could never have enough publicity in my eyes).
Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141, Black, size 42 for me, if I’m so lucky.
Too many to choose from, as I have a hard time buying clothes, fit wise. Great tips would like to use them on a new leather jacket
Classic Perfecto Steerhide Jacket. Nothing like the classic look.
Women’s Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket
What a sharp sleek looking jacket, love the comments from other wearers.
That Washed Lambskin Jean Jacket (JF202) just looks fantastic– very classic look, you just can’t go wrong!
if i was to choose a leather jacket it would have to be the
Jeans Style Leather Jacket 100
It has to be the Leather Naval Pea Coat.
I’m digging the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585
Women’s Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141W
Good luck!

The A-2 Bomber jacket, now that’s the one your grand kids will fit over.

This looks pretty classy to me. It has that basic rugged utility thats respected in every enviroment.

I would like one of the Schott peacoats, either 740, DU704I or 740C. As it would be for my fiance, I haven’t completely decided yet. He had a favourite peacoat that got misplaced a couple of years ago. He has had the opportunity to work in several countries thanks to his program of study, but the coat was left behind somewhere during one of his moves. He’s been searching for another since and has yet to find one that satisfies. I don’t suppose, if I happen to win, it could be kept a secret until after Christmas? (At least for my name to be kept anonymous? Or the details of my comment edited so that there is plausible deniability?) It would make a wonderful gift.
Jacket:
Either:
The G-1

Military Style Antique Lambskin Leather Bomber Jacket 233 is where it’s at!
This is the nicest jacket on the site and I one I would personally wear all the time, weather permitting:

Truly a wonderful piece of work
A real coat!
Multi Pocket Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 125

I want a chance to break this one in.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/horsehide-perfecto-d-pocket.htm
Yup cant beat the classic perfecto umless ya got more pockets. Good leather is a good thing
I’d have to go with the Perf-Trimmed Lightweight Lambskin Cafe Racer Jacket J213 to go with my (hopefully soon to be acquired) classic cafe racer. I love the perfect balance of the classic styling with the understated modern touches. Damn it is a gorgeous jacket.

The only thing more manly than commuting on an old motorcycle would be commuting on a motorcycle in this:
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-racer-leather-motorcycle-jacket.htm
Its getting cold in ny.
I could use a leather jacket now.
Hrm… I recently bought a (fairly cheap) leather jacket, and it has a little of that “pre-worn” look, which is nice. Nonetheless, I like the tips on wearing it in, and will start doing that.
(And of course, I wouldn’t mind if I won a fancy-schmancy new one from Schott NYC!)
Oh man the Easy Rider Striped is crazy awesome!
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/easy-rider-striped-leather-motorcycle.htm
Have to go with the classic A2 Flight Jacket (A2SM) in antique; a beautiful jacket.
My favorite: Easy Rider Striped Leather Motorcycle Jacket. It’s classic but difirent.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/easy-rider-striped-leather-motorcycle.htm
This is the one. Everyone needs a little edge in their life.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/fit/fitted/classic-perfecto-steerhide-leather-motorcycle.htm
I’d like to win the Model 359 Rancher’s Jacket. When I was a boy, I admired shearling jackets on John Wayne, Dennis Weaver as McCloud and, of course, the Marlboro Man. I gave up smoking years ago; but that jacket sure would make the frigid mornings on my farm (11 this morning) a lot more pleasant!
Thanks for your consideration,
Jim Beidle
Washed Lambskin Jean Jacket JF202
Size XL
They all look great, but I think I’d choose the Slim Fitting Wool Peacoat DU704I:
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/mens-slim-fitting-wool-peacoat.htm
Wow, the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket is classic. It will be mine!
I’m going to be awful cold in Trondheim at the next World Beard and Moustache Championships…the Melton Wool Jacket would keep me warm and would compliment my beard and my American representation well!
This would be perfect for my husband.Would make an awesome Christmas gift.

I’ve owned a couple of Schott’s wool jackets and have always wanted their leather car coat.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/men/carcoat/casual-weekend-pebbled-cowhide-leather.htm
Love this jacket:
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/military-style-antique-lambskin-leather.htm
Oh, this would be perfect for riding the sport bike! I hope I win!
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/other/made-in-usa/classic-racer-leather-motorcycle-jacket.htm
I must say I do enjoy the pleasant scent of leather.
I can actually smell the leather right now.
The Washed Lambskin Jean Jacket looks nice.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/washed-lambskin-jean-jacket.htm
I am now a fan on facebook as Carolyn Barnett
Always wanted one:
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-perfecto-steerhide-leather-motorcycle.htm
So many awesome options, it was tough to choose. The Classic Racer with the zip-out lining looks like I can take it anywhere.
Thanks AoM and Schott for this giveaway!

I’d get #135, the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket. I’m also going to tweet this post…
This one works for me: http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/casual-weekend-pebbled-cowhide-leather.htm
This looks good.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/casual-weekend-pebbled-cowhide-leather.htm
I am also a fan of the Classic Racer.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-racer-leather-motorcycle-jacket.htm
I can’t decide between “Split Cowhide Leather Rancher Coat” (359), or “Classic 32 Oz. Melton Wool Naval Pea Coat” (740)…
Leaning toward the Pea Coat, but I’ll get get the lady’s input.
I’ll have the 585, please. That thing is gorgeous.
Are the jeans eligible for the giveaway? http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/straight-leg-steerhide-leather-jeans.htm
If not, I’d probably pick the 141 jacket.
I like the Jeans style leather jacket
How awesome.
http://www.schottnyc.com/store/products.cfm?partner=artofmanliness
In a heartbeat, I’d pay the difference for the Classic Schott Racer in Horsehide – 641HH. It’s a stunning jacket in person and breaks my heart to not have the $625 to throw around on it. $125, however, is completely doable.
I have a Classic Perfecto made near the time I was born and it’s in fantastic shape. Schott makes outstanding products.
I find that riding in the rain then oil (mink) the hell out of it is my break in that has worked well for me.
I like the One Star prefecto, just says I ride period.
Have to go with a good old classic leather jacket. This is just a great looking jacket and looks like it could weather anything i could put it through.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/vintaged-perfecto-leather-motorcycle-jacket.htm
It’s chilly out today. I could really use the Jeans Style Leather Jacket. That is one of many that catch my eye. I just like the classic look of it.
Absolutely has to be #135: the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/casual-weekend-pebbled-cowhide-leather.htm
One of the best-looking jackets I’ve ever seen.
Who was the first man to ever wear a leather jacket?
It would have to be the easy rider striped jacket, it has the look of old drag strip racing leathers. It would be perfect for riding my triumph to work through the winter on. It exudes style and function! I have always wanted a Schott jacket but I cannot afford one.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/easy-rider-striped-leather-motorcycle.htm
I would most likely go for the leather Naval Pea Coat.
For those nice Sunday U-Boat strolls.
Heck yeah!
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/fit/fitted/mens-classic-horsehide-racer-motorcycle.htm
I find that riding in the rain then oil (mink) the hell out of it is my break in that has worked well for me.
I like the One Star prefecto, just says I ride period.
Wow Ck that Vintage MC jacket looks great too, I’ve never owned a brown leather.
I friggin’ love these jackets so much. I know where I’m getting my next one.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/wool-car-coat.htm
Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141 in brown would go perfectly with me on my 1972 Triumph Bonneville (that old gold/mustard yellow color). Just need to find a more vintage helmet to wear and I’ll be doing my best Steve McQueen impression.
Methinks the A-2 Naked Cowhide Flight Jacket 184SM would work nicely. A long-lasting coat with a nice big collar on it to keep my neck warm if need be. Size 36.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/a-2-naked-cowhide-leather-flight.htm
I like the simple style of this jacket. It has clean lines and is understated.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/other/made-in-usa/casual-weekend-pebbled-cowhide-leather.htm
I don’t know if I could pull off a leather jacket…but man they good enough to make me want to try!!
Wow I would love that A-2 Flight Jacket A2SM looks just like the one my grandfather wore while flying bombing missions in the pacific in WWII.
I love both the casual and the flight jackets! I agonized over a decision until finally landing on this one:
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/casual-weekend-pebbled-cowhide-leather.htm
All of the jackets on there are great, though!
For leather I would have to go with the Military A-2 Naked Cowhide Leather Flight Jacket, but the Military Men’s Slim Fitting Wool Peacoat is also pretty sweet.
The classic A-2 Flight Jacket A2SM looks like a winner to me. 2XL for the win!
The Washed Lamb Skin Jean Jacket looks very flexible to wear in different situations.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/washed-lambskin-jean-jacket.htm
Hard to pick just one – but if I must, it would have to be the G-1 Leather Flight Jacket. Still looks mighty classy.
618 – Classic Perfecto Steerhide Leather Motorcycle Jacket
Oh..and this is what I would wear.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/men/bomber/military-style-antique-lambskin-leather.htm
I’m likin the look of the Jeans Style Leather Jacket.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/jeans-style-leather-jacket.htm
I’m really digging the Vintage Leather Police Jacket J604
I can’t think of a better choice than this bad boy:
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-perfecto-leather-motorcycle-jacket1.htm
Its gotta be the Classic 141. Simple, clean and form fitting.
The sad thing is that if I don’t win one of these uber-manly leather jackets I’m still not allowed to cry, since that would be unmanly..
I think the Cowhide Casual Racer 654 is looking particularly stunning!
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/fit/fitted/cowhide-casual-racer.htm
671 – Easy Rider striped. Looks great.
I love the Jeans Style Leather Jacket! Schott jackets are amazing. I had one from high school through college and regret LOSING it since I’d probably still have it today.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/fabric/leather/jeans-style-leather-jacket.htm
I Double-Dog dare you to give me this jacket.
Black Men’s Slim Fitting Wool Peacoat. Sounds like the perfect fix for the oncoming winter weather!
#233 Please and Thank You
Well, I thought my budding leather addiction would be quelled but it only goes on! I think I’ll take one of those classic pea coats or the military style.
He’s mine! Thanks for the great give away!
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/fit/fitted/classic-perfecto-steerhide-leather-motorcycle.htm
I used to wear a leather jacket with knit cuffs and waistband. I think it’s time to go that route again.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/fabric/leather/a-2-naked-cowhide-leather-flight.htm
I would love this jacket!! http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/vintage-motorcycle-jacket.htm
Vintage brown motorcycle 585
Also, is there any way to hide a sticker mark from a lambskin jacket? Someone stuck an “I voted” sticker on me and put a nasty mark on my jacket!
A-2 Flight Jacket in Men’s Long Sizes (184SML – http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/a-2-flight-jacket-in-mens.htm), in black.
U.S. Army Air Corps all the way!
I was browsing through the site, wondering which style might match mine. I was becoming forlorn . . .
. . . and then I saw it.
The Military Style Antique Lambskin Leather Bomber Jacket 233. A masterpiece, timeless and rugged, like the men who wore them in defense of freedom. Men who exemplified the Art of Manliness.
A beautiful jacket.
Oh man, the G-1 Leather Flight Jacket would be AWESOME. I’d happily pay the extra 12.50 for that!
Item # G-1

I’m going to have to go with the 646.
Double Breasted Military Leather Jacket 650 is the one for me.
I’ve had my eye on a “Classic Schott Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket in Horsehide 641HH” for years. That bad boy is definitely my style.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-schott-racer-leather-motorcycle.htm
Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585 is my fav.
#233 looks the most kickass.
after looking for a while, i think this is my favorite:
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/men/carcoat/leather-field-jacket.htm
I’ve always wanted one of the classic styled pea coats like the ‘Classic Melton Pea Coat in Long Sizes 740L’.
I find it kind of funny that I’m commenting on an article about breaking in a leather jacket and the jacket I like most isn’t even leather…
I gotta go with the classic motorcycle jacket!
Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-racer-leather-motorcycle-jacket.htm
I’ve wanted a 613 One Star Perfecto for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories as a child is watching Marlon Brando in “The Wild One” and wanting to be just like him.
“Hey Johnny, what are you rebelling against?”
“What have you got?”
Leather Naval Peacoat, please…
I really like the Single Rider Steerhide leather Motorcycle Jacket 641.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/washed-lambskin-jean-jacket.htm
Oh please, oh please, oh please!
I used to wear my father’s bomber/flight jacket. It was the real thing that he got in the military (how he got it I don’t know because he wasn’t on a bomber and was in the USN). It had a knit waistband and knit cuffs. It was the warmest jacket that I’ve ever worn. That jacket held up to all of the abuse that I could give it. It finally succumbed when the knitted parts became undone and the lining started to rip.
I currently have a leather jacket from a popular designer that is a total piece of crap. Within two months the zipper pull broke off. I called the designer and they blew me off saying that they just license the name! Sell outs! If my name were on a product I’d expect it to have some semblance of quality. The actual manufacturer wouldn’t give me any relief either.
I wanted to go back to a bomber/flight jacket but most of the jackets of that type that I see in stores just seem to be too cheaply made. I don’t want to get burned again.
Bruce
I would pick the A-2 Flight Jacket (A2SM) because it looks the closest to one I used to have almost 30 years ago. I wish I still had that jacket.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-racer-leather-motorcycle-jacket.htm
That baby is just what I’ve been wishing for. Cheers!
233 is definitely my style
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135
Not flashy but might as well donate all my other jackets because I would wear it everywhere. Might make weddings and funerals a bit awkward but so be it.
one classic, please! i’ve never had a leather jacket, these are beautiful. http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-perfecto-leather-motorcycle-jacket1.htm
I particularly like the Classic Racer
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-racer-leather-motorcycle-jacket.htm
Thank you!
233 seems popular, and I definitely agree.
A woman can always break in a jacket too. I love a man in a leather jackets though.. there is something about it – not sure.
The “Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141″ is my favorite. Thank you!
I’ll gladly take one of these
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/casual-weekend-pebbled-cowhide-leather.htm
The A2SM is the way to go and it would make a great Christmas present!
I would love the Wool Car Coat, DU738.
I love these giveaways. I have never won anything, but I like the stuff you can win. =)
Tweeted! (@nlunsford)
As for which one… I’d have to go with the Leather Naval Pea Coat (140; http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/leather-naval-pea-coat.htm). Classic.
It would have to be the N-3B Nylon Parka! Gorgeous jackets.
Military Style Antique Lambskin Leather Bomber Jacket 233
Definitely something i could wear for years
Awesome jacket. My buddy from high school has had the same Schott jacket since then. Over 30 years. I think they are great!
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-racer-leather-motorcycle-jacket.htm
Love that Classic Schott Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket in Horsehide – 641HH. Have been eying a Schott jacket for a few months now.
I’d take the military A-2. I’ve searched every winter for over ten years to replace the military aviator style jacket I had in high school. After I out grew that I have not been able to find one with long enough sleeves. Man I miss that jacket.
Cowhide Casual Racer 654
liking the more elegant, basic style of this one.
#140 Leather Naval PeaCoat
141 pick me pick me!!!
#140 Leather Naval Pea Coat
Oh I’d most definitely go with the A2 flight jacket. What won me over is the escape map in the lining. It’d even match my trusty boots!
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/a-2-flight-jacket.htm
Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141 in black would be awesome.
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135, black! Nice coat.
Oh that’d be perfect for my new scooter, and Portland’s new 32 degree weather. Classic Racer 141 please. http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-racer-leather-motorcycle-jacket.htm
Crossing my fingers!
My choice would have to be the Leather Naval Pea Coat. A coat for a lifetime,indeed.
The wool peacoats are also very nice.
The Perf-Trimmed Lightweight Lambskin Cafe Racer Jacket J213 will suit me best!
My choice is a 641 in Horsehide. I have a 641 Steerhide version of it and it is just amazing, looks like it’s been sawn on me and it probably is my favorite jacket.
Bear in mind that I own a perfecto, a leather peacoat, a rancher sheepskin, a B-3 and 2 nylon bombers, one black, one blue with the orange inside. All of them by Schott obviously.
And I’ m currently following one more on ebay..
I am sure a 641 in Horsehide is something absolutely outstanding, I really hope to win it and cure my obvious addiction to Schott leather jackets for a while.
regards
dg
I can see myself going out with friends in the Washed Lambskin Jean Jacket JF202 in black.
Those are some great looking jackets!
If I had to choose only 1, it would have to be:
#585
Vintage Motorcycle Jacket
from $528.00
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/vintage-motorcycle-jacket.htm
Thanks to all involved
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide in black
I’m gonna go Cowhide Casual Racer 654…because it is pretty sweet.
Jean’s style leather jacket – for my husband to replace the one he wore out (and outgrew!).
Call me crazy, but I love the Wool car coat…
Cheers!
I like the look of the Wool Car Coat DU738, myself. (Although Classic Wool Naval Pea Coat with Leather Trim 740C is a close second!)
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135
clean, functional, and manly
I’d just love the Classic Racer Jacket, thank you very much.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/other/made-in-usa/classic-racer-jacket-in-long.htm
I’d go for a Washed Lambskin Jean Jacket JF202. Looks perfect to me.
I would, absolutely, choose the 585.
There’s something about that classic look.
No question about it, the 650 Double Breasted Military Leather Jacket. I’m drooling just looking at it.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/double-breasted-military-leather-jacket.htm
Perf-Trimmed Lightweight Lambskin Cafe Racer Jacket J213
Pure badass.
I would look dashing in the slim fitting wool Peacoat. Light Navy please.
I like the 202 – the Washed Lambskin. I like the look of it. I was down to either that of the Pebbled Cowhide (135)
I really like the WESTERN FRINGE LEATHER JACKET 395 in the Tobacco color.
Plus, it is made in the USA so that makes all of the stuff more awesome!
Loving the “Military Style Antique Lambskin Leather Bomber Jacket 233.” It would definitely be a step up from my current jacket.
I’d like to put my bid in for a “Classic Wool Naval Pea Coat with Leather Trim 740C”. I gotta say, those look like some nice coats, and great article! I’ve been wearing my grandfather’s old Air Force bomber jacket, and love it!
I would break my wrist making a phone call to Gail with one hand, while gathering my credit card with the other, to pay the difference for the best jacket ever made by Schott NYC. That jacket being the absolute work of art Vintaged Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket (618V1) if I win. While wearing it, the jacket would immediately magnify my pre-existing manliness while riding my American made, Fat Boy where ever the road takes me. Women would weep at the mere sight. Children would tremble and look away. Traffic would part down the middle, and bow in homage. The Earth would reverse it’s poles…
I’m thinking the classic perfecto in long size, http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-perfecto-leather-motorcycle-jacket.htm …. yup, i’ll be happy to pay the difference!
I’m eyeing the Leather Naval Pea Coat 140 in size 46. That looks really nice
The Classic Racer looks darn nice. http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-racer-leather-motorcycle-jacket.htm
the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135 in Black. It just feels right.
the casual weekend pebbled
Wasn’t easy, but I settled on the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585. So many things I’d like to buy, so little money.
I’d gladly take the 689H Classic Horsehide Racer Jacket with spread collar!
I like #135, the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket.
I’m liking the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141.
There are some beautiful examples on the site; leather and otherwise. I think my favorite is the Jeans Style Leather Jacket 100–perfect for cooler Texas weather!
This one is badass
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/classic-b-3-sheepskin-leather-bomber.htm
It’s my dream to own a Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141!

I would LOVE a Washed Lambskin Jean Jacket JF202 in Medium. Thanks!
I’d live proudly in my new “Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585″ – More importantly I’d be happy as hell to one day pass it down to any of my three young men… (John – Navy VBSS Pirate hunter, Eli – Division II Nose Tackle and future teacher/football coach, or Miles – 11 year old “undeclared” – very athletic and an avid woodsman) – I could walk across America in one of these suckers!
So many great-looking jackets . . . this could be the start of an obsession!
The A-2 Flight Jacket A2SM looks great. I would love to be able to buy one of these, but I think the most expensive piece of clothing I’ve ever purchased was $60. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
The Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141 is the jacket I have always wanted!
Likin’ the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket
My husband was just telling me that he wanted a leather jacket today. As a matter of fact he tried one on today but I talked him out of it because I did not like the quality of the leather or the fit because he is tall and slender. SO…. the jacket that I want to win is more than 500 but I am happy to pay the difference! This would be the perfect jacket for him!!! Here’s hoping I win so I can give this fantastic jacket to the love of my life!!!! The classic racer jacket in long….

I dig the old school styling of the Antique A-2 Flight Jacket A2SM.
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135 in black looks good to me.
I love the classic A-2 Flight Jacket A2SM
I would go for this one, vintage woohoo
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/vintage-motorcycle-jacket.htm
Awesome looking jackets! I would hands down go with the 118L!
I have my eyes set on the antique G-1 Leather Flight Jacket. That is just a real classic.
I think the A2 flight jacket would be wonderful.
Washed Lambskin Jean Jacket JF202 is great! That Rocker shirt is nothing but vanity…pretty awesome though.
I’d go for jacket 135 in Brown. Beautiful jacket!
Hands down, the A-2 Flight Jacket A2SM (Antique). It has an escape map of Europe on the inside lining!? Awesome. How humbling and manly would it feel every time you put it on?
I’m definitely down for jacket 671. Awesome coat.
I’m diggin’ the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket…its a work of art. I only wish it were available raw and I could break it in myself…
What are you rebelling against?
What have you got?
Make mine a 618 Perfecto steerhide jacket.
I would love to own a Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 118.
Wow, that was definitely a hard choice, but I think I really do like the A-2 best. It’s not very flashy maybe, but man oh man do I love that map lining.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/a-2-flight-jacket.htm
Gotta stick with the classic. Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket – Long Sizes 118L, that is.
I wouldn’t recommend the washing machine method but the light rain tip is definitely true.
That said, owning a 544 for years and a 141 (fits too big these days) even longer than that, I love my Schott jackets. Would love a 118 to add to the collection.
I’m a fan of the Double Breasted Military Leather Jacket 650. It looks pretty sweet.
It would have to be the ‘Classic Racer Jacket in Long Sizes 141L’ for me… Looks great, and will serve me well on my biking trips….
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-racer-jacket-in-long.htm
The Easy Rider Striped Leather Motorcycle Jacket 671 fits my style.
I am torn between the vintage motorcycle jacket and the easy rider jacket.
I’m not cool enough for the easy rider one though…..
vintage it is.
The classic all the way.
Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 118
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-perfecto-leather-motorcycle-jacket1.htm
I’d take the Classic Racer 141 jacket. I miss wearing Schott jackets.
Classic B-3 Sheepskin Leather Bomber Jacket 257S
Fingers crossed.
Thanks all…
I’d have to go with the 618 Classic Perfecto Steerhide. It’s perfect!
I like the Classic B-3 Sheepskin Leather Bomber Jacket 257S. Classic 1920’s adventurer look.
i’d take the 585 vintage jacket. perfect
i’d take the 585 vintage motorcycle jacket. classic look
I would love to have the G1 Leather Flight Jacket
I’ve got to say, while it’s not usually my style, I’m attracted to that Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 118.
I prefer wool.
Classic Wool Naval Pea Coat with Leather Trim 740C
Gotta go with the Classic B-3 Sheepskin Leather Bomber Jacket 257S. The high is going to be 13 degrees tomorrow and that liner would be awesome.
if I won, I’d be taking home the The Classic 32 oz. Melton Wool Peacoat!
Now that is a rather hard choice. However, since I already own a great motorcycle jacket (though it isn’t a Schott), I think I’d have to go with the Wool Car Coat (DU738) in Oxford Grey. (Though the Satin Lined Duffle Coat (DU748) is a very close second choice).
Do I have to decide right now?
I guess I’d go with the Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket…
But I kinda like the A-1 bomber as well. Never had a leather jacket before. Which is better for my first???
Most definitely the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141 in black.
The rumble of an engine perched precariously on two wheels between your legs evokes visions of icons-gone-by as does the Perfecto 118. An avid motorcycle enthusiast and rider I would love very much to wrap a fine piece of hide around me like the Classic Perfecto as I daily commute the way every real man should….
Wondering how the old bomber nose art would look on the back of one of those mighty fine A-2’s….
A-2 Flight Jacket in Men’s Long Sizes in Brown.
Classic Perfecto Steerhide Leather Motorcycle Jacket -618!
I’d choose the A-2 Naked Cowhide Leather Flight Jacket 184SM — a classy and classic look, warm and versatile.
It’s not leather, but I would really like the gray Wool Car Coat DU738.
Toss up between some leather chaps and the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585.
I am a fan of the “Women’s Duffle Coat D742W.” The only problem is want one in two different colors.
With the $500 limit can I get one of each color and pay the difference?
Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 118 (if I had to choose, but they all are a step up and then some from my jackets)
Vintaged Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 618V1 (L-XL)
But all these jackets are beautiful. How should I pick just one?
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135
This jacket looks beautiful. I wish I could afford it. Maybe Santa can help me (and by Santa I mean Art of Manliness).
Holy. Crap.
They have some beautiful jackets, my favorite is definitely the DU704I, i love the look of a double breasted peacoat. Theres nothing like it.
But if there was something i missed and it has to be a leather jacket-considering this whole article was about breaking in leather jackets- i would definitely go with the classic number 118. Its got soul.
I really like the Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 118 as a gift for my soon-to-be father in law. He really needs a good motorcycle jacket and we could never afford something as high quality and beautiful as this.
It may not be leather, but I love the Men’s Multi-Zip Wool Field Jacket 7H803. It looks super warm and considering I like to carry many objects (pocket knife, gloves, pen, notebook, phone, etc) it has plenty of pockets to fill. That’s why I love this jacket.
Have to be the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141, simple, classic, and made in the USA.
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket
I think I’d look rather out of place in the motorcycle jackets…
I long for the buttery embrace of the lambskin cafe racer while i race my 2 wheeled steed across the landscape…
That vintage motorcycle jacket is perfect. My dad used to wear a brown leather jacket just like this. Maybe he bought a Schott years ago.
Man, those are some great jackets! I think the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141 would fit me just right.
585 – Vintage Motorcycle Jacket. This is the one for me.
Gotta go with the classic racer long 141L, it would be a awesome to break in my first leather coat on a new bike
The Perf-Trimmed Lightweight Lambskin Cafe Racer Jacket J213 is looking good to me.
Leather Jacket 135 please!
I think I might like the vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585
I’m looking for a jacket to make memories with. Let’s get started with the lambskin jean jacket.
Lovin’ the always classic A-2 Flight Jacket A2SM
Womens Duffel Coat D742W
This coat looks like a cross between the traditional pea coat and something a bit more modern!!
I’m dreaming about a Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket. Thanks guys
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/length/waist/a-2-naked-cowhide-leather-flight.htm
Dreams come true on AoM.
I’d loove a Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket or but considering I’m not actually an avid biker myself (though with luck one day i might be) maybe the Washed Lambskin Jean Jacket would suit me a bit better
The Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket looks great!
Have to be the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide jacket (135).
Have to stay true to the company and go with Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket. Thanks
I’d definitely have to go with the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket
I LOVD the Wool Car Coat, gorgeous.
long size perfecto is well… perfecto
A-2 Naked Cowhide Leather Flight Jacket 184SM in brown, and size:36
normally I don’t ride my motorcycle with a leather jacket, but might just change that with this jacket.
I would love the One Star Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 613. Size 42 please. I can roll around like one bad mutha cusser.
The J604 Vintage Leather Police Jacket looks excellent, reminds me of Easy Rider. I’ll have to buy a motorcycle if I win this, won’t I?
I have to go with the A-2 to match my Grandfathers WWII Schott’s flight jacket. I love that jacket, but I can’t bring myself to risk wearing it.
The “Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585″ for sure. In a medium, of course.
Hands down the Wool Car Coat would be the greatest christmas gift ever.
My choice would be the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket
I like the Steerhide Single Rider (641) but I’ve got these ape arms, so maybe a Classic Rider in Long (141L) would be a better fit.
A brown A-2 Naked Cowhide Leather Flight Jacket is definitely what i would go for.
Well I’m planning a cross-country motorcycle trip. And that Easy Rider motorcycle jacket would be perfect for it.
There are many coats on the site that look good, but I think the Double Breasted Military Leather Jacket 650 is my favorite.
Has to be a Classic B-3 Sheepskin Leather Bomber Jacket 257S for me…my grandfather was a navigator on a B-24
I own an old, second hand leather jacket myself (with a model like the Perfecto Motorcycle-style Jacket) probably worn by a punk in the 70’s/80’s, but of course would love a new one!
My choice would be a Cowhide Casual Racer 654, or an A-2 Flight Jacket A2SM simply because it looks so warm (and the inside is awesome!).
I think I’d most enjoy a black A-2 Flight Jacket (A2SM). It’s hard to beat that timeless, Indiana Jones-esque look. It also reminds me of my grandfather, who piloted B-17s and B-29s. A gentleman’s leather jacket if ever there was one.
The Classic Wool Naval Pea Coat with Leather Trim 740C sure looks smart and would be great on a frosty morning!
Nice giveaway, the winner certainly gets a nice present for the holidays! Hope shipping is possible (and included?). I’d have to choose the Cowhide Casual Racer 654, size large – it’s timeless, stylish and unpretentious.
Great website! I just found it & as it happens I have had my eye on a Schotts jacket…
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135
Wish me luck!
S.
DU704I The slim fitting pea coat is really nice and would work in so many situations.
Would love the Women’s Duffle Coat! Perfect!
My favorite is still the original Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 118.
I’d go for a classic racer 141.
style 100 – Jeans Style Leather Jacket
or A-2 Naked Cowhide Flight Jacket
both classic. awesomeness.
prolly go the A-2 – love that collar!
No contest here… Gotta go with the Classic Leather Racer.
Been wanting a 141 for while now
Definitely Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135!!! Love the look.
Both my husband and I love this site. I actually turned my father on to it as well. Since he spends 10 min. tops on the internet he doesn’t even know what a blog is, but he loves yours! I picked out a jacket for my husband because we won’t be doing Christmas prestents this year due to funds being so tight, but he would look so stunning in the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket. I would love to be able to put something so wonderful under the tree for him this year since he never buys anything for himself, always making sure our daughter, my elderly parents, and I are well looked after before himself. He is truely a gentleman and deserves something special! Thank you for your wonderful blog.
I would get the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket, there is just *something* about that old school biker jacket that is irresistable to me.
Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket – Long
Now that’s my kind of jacket.
Love the look of the Classic Racer Motorcycle Jacket. I’ve been wanting an all leather jacket for riding but alas, quality leather jackets are expensive.
Leather Naval Pea Coat 140… Soooo much nicer then the one I wore for years.
I’m in for #650 double breasted military jacket, although the classic Perfecto was a close second.
i’d love the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141!
Leather Field Jacket JF207!
Nice!
I bet the “Washed Lambskin Jean Jacket JF202″ would make any guy look 100 times hotter.
Definetely the Perfecto! It looked totally badass when Brando wore it, and I would wear it with pride when in the saddle. So long as I don’t wind up surfing some asphalt and tearing it all up! By far the coolest!
would absolutely love to wear the women’s classic racer motorcycle jacket — what a beautiful jacket and an awesome contest too !!
#141 Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket would be great to own!
I love the Classic Perfecto Steerhide Leather Motorcylce Jacket (618)!
In high school I was into the punk-rock thing, so my nice motorcycle leather jacket ended up covered in spikes and paint…. I still have it,, but since I’ve grown up and wear a shirt and tie to work every day I don’t really wear it. These Schott jackets are amazing, and would me an would be a great way to update my outerwear to suit my present lifestyle.
The Men’s Slim Fitting Wool Peacoat DU704I is like something that stepped out of a film noir movie. Definitely my pick and I am sure a favorite of many. The Schott NYC line of coats is incredible and you can tell that time honored traditions have not been lost at this company. Keep up the great work guys!
#671 – http://www.schottnyc.com/products/fabric/leather/easy-rider-striped-leather-motorcycle.htm
The Easy Rider is free and clear.
What a tough decision, but I’m going for the 650! Double Breasted Military Leather Jacket.
Washed Lambskin Jean Jacket JF202 would be a great gift
Jeans Style Leather Jacket
would be my choice!
Women’s Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141W
My girlfriend needs a nice leather jacket (even if this one is way nicer than mine!)
I have a question about storage/hanging. will coat hooks eventually damage or stretch a leather jacket? Should I be using the little fabric loop on the collar instead?
Since my accident i’ve been looking for a replacement riding jacket and i’m in love with the Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 118.
I like the G-1 Top Gun Leather Bomber Jacket G1TG. I like the military theme – spent 23 years supporting the troops at the Navy’s F-14 Simulator facility at NAS Oceana.
Big fan of the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585.
My choice: Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135.
I’d have to go with the 585, got to love the classic biker jacket.
It’s gotta be the G-1 Leather Flight Jacket G1S. Thats a nice jacket!
I’ll take a brown Classic B-3 Sheepskin Leather Bomber Jacket 257S. It looks great, like a real manjacket! I bet it feels great too. It´s $825 but I´ll gladly pay the difference. I need a warm jacket to keep the cold from killing me up here in northern Sweden.
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135 is my top pick.
The A2 is a classic. I would love to add it to my collection. Thanks to AoM, Shott NYC is now on the radar!
I’ve never been a leather jacket buff, butt these are gorgeous. I would love a Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135.
I like the looks of the antique A-2 Flight Jacket. Gotta love the escape map sewn in.
A-2 Naked Cowhide Leather Flight Jacket would be super cool.
Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585. Very nice.
I would have to go with the 141, Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket. Looks to be the perfect fit for what I’ve been looking for but haven’t found.
the Easy Rider, baby! great for skiddin’ across the asphalt.
Classic Racer Jacket
classic racer 141 in brown looks awesome
I’d have to go with the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket if I win.
I’ve looked everywhere- from leather/motorcycle shops in my area, online searches and even custom leather shops for a quality leather motorcycle jacket. NOTHING that I’ve found before this even compares to the quality and craftsmanship that has gone into these jackets! I love, and would greatly benefit from winning a jacket such as the Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 118. My search for a leather jacket has ended, even if I don’t win I’m going to start saving to order this jacket!
On a side note I wish I would have found this website much earlier. Perhaps Schott would benefit from working with a search engine optimizer so that their site could be easily found when doing a general search. I can’t wait to show this site to my friends who would love to finally acquire a quality leather jacket.
Thanks for the great tips! I look forward to my daily email from AOM, keep up the good work!
I would probably go with the Classic Motorcycle Racer. I am concerned however you don’t seem to have tall sizes. Maybe I will get it for my son.
Classic Melton Pea Coat in Larger Sizes 740X : Now that is what a pea coat is supposed to look like.
Ragley Hooded Sweater Jacket F945 – Very cozy looking
Been wearing the same leather jacket for 8 years, and gotta say, it’s very well broken in. Fortunately, it was also very soft leather at the start, making it an easy wear.
I’d have to go with the Classic Schott Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket in Horsehide 641HH. It’s just a perfect cut.
Because I already have a classic Brando-style motorcycle jacket, which is nice and broken in from over 7,000 miles on my bike in the past 2 summers, I am going to be different and say that I am interested in something else on their website.
Boot-cut Steerhide Leather Jeans.
Beautiful coats! And great quality. I’d have to pick the Men’s Slim Fitting Wool Peacoat DU7041. Classic black peacoat. The vertical pockets near the chest make it stand out a bit without being flashy either
I would go with the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135
The Navy colored Classic 32 Oz. Melton Wool Naval Pea Coat 740 looks like a winner. A size 36 would fit just right.
This is perfect timing. I’m looking for a new coat right now. Judging by the pictures I think the Wool Car Coat DU738 is exactly what I’m looking for. Here’s hoping…
The Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135 looks great
Gonna have to go with a G1S in either 2x or 3x depending on the fit.
Man so many good ones to choose from. Classic aviator or something else?? I think that I’m going to try for something different- Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585.
I like the A-2 Naked Cowhide Leather Flight Jacket 184SM, it looks like an awesome jacket to me!
Perfecto One Star 613: size 44, for sure. THE classic motorcycle jacket!
Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141 in Black. Definitely.
A-2 Naked Cowhide Leather Flight Jacket 184SM, if you please.
Love a good hooded sweatshirt – going for the Trooper F645.
I’ve never owned a leather jacket and I figure this classic racing jacket is a good starting point.
Classic 141.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-racer-leather-motorcycle-jacket.htm
No doubt about it, the classic racer is the one:
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-racer-leather-motorcycle-jacket.htm
The Classic 32 Oz. Melton Wool Naval Pea Coat 740 in black is the one for me!
I would have to go with the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585.
The Washed Lambskin Jean Jacket JF202 would be my pick. That’s a nice-looking jacket.
Oooh… that would be a tough choice – 585 for my motorcycle or 650 for going out on the town….
I think I’d have to go with the 650 just because I think it would fit me better. (and I already have a, admittedly much cheaper, leather jacket for my motorcycle.
I think I would have to go with the Double Breasted Military Leather Jacket 650, I am a tall guy… need the extra length!
I would love to get the Jeans Style Leather Jacket 100, in the only color it comes in, black.
It might be a pretty Audacious choice…. but I’d have to go with the Easy Rider Striped Leather Motorcycle Jacket 671.
I could also easily be talked into a G1, a Perfecto, or a Casual Racer. The first time it snows out here in NYC, I’m going to wish I had said “Lambskin Bomber”.
Great line, all around. Thanks for posting.
The Military Style Antique Lambskin Leather Bomber Jacket 233: Size 50 would be the coolest one I think.
Definitely the ‘Easy Rider Striped Leather Motorcycle Jacket 671′. Classic look.
I am convinced that all great things a man should own, should be made of leather. Jacket, bag, shoes, gloves, wallet, couch, etc. etc.
Washed Lambskin Jean Jacket JF202 XL
The classic black 141….love this jacket, actually I am waiting on mine to be shipped now but won’t be ready for another 2 weeks, but hey I might get lucky and not have to pay for it!!!
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135– Large in Black
Military Style Antique Lambskin Leather Bomber Jacket 233
(http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/military-style-antique-lambskin-leather.htm)
Classic, utilitarian, and warm! I’ll take one in Size 44 please.
The Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide 135 is the one I like the best.
A-2 Flight Jacket A2SM
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/men/bomber/a-2-flight-jacket.htm
585 Vintage motorcycle Jacket…
Indiana Jones would be proud.
Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket – Long Sizes in 48 please.
Tweeted as well.
It would have to be the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket #585 for me.
A-2 Naked Cowhide Leather Flight Jacket 184SM Brown L
Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket is what I’d be shooting for. Clasic cafe racer style, baby!
Man I would look good in a Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585 size XL. Those jackets are awesome. I wonder which Saddleback bag I’d have to buy to match?
Definitely the Cowhide Casual Racer Jacket 654. Classic and lightweight.
The Classic 141
Easy Rider Striped Leather Motorcycle Jacket 671 size 40
Cowhide Casual Racer 654!
Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585
That is one sweet jacket, and by the looks of the other comments, I’m not alone in thinking so!
LOVE these contests you guys at AOM have! Here is my selection, should my name come up in the drawing. The Duck Cloth Cotton Parka 91337, http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/duck-cloth-cotton-parka.htm
Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585
This jacket looks GREAT! Love it in brown.
Wow! Some great looking jackets over there! Hard to decide, but I like the Leather Naval Pea Coat. Quite a step up from the coats I have now!
For some reason, I love the look of the Melton Wool Clasp Jacket JF704. Very sharp.
The vintage motorcycle jacket, number 585 looks classic, and just like one my dad used to own.
Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585
I’ve been loving this site since I found it. Yet another great article!
I’d love to break in the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket!
A-2 Flight Jacket A2SM
I think I’d like the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135 (in black), although it’s a difficult choice.
I have a 60s bike. Gotta go with the 60s jacket… Easy Rider Striped Leather Motorcycle Jacket 671.
Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141. That’s the one for me I do believe.
Looks like it means business and could take a lifetime of hard wear.
But then I noticed the Classic Wool Naval Pea Coat with Leather Trim. Both classic designs but possibly this one would be warmer.
Great pre-Christman promotion from AoM.
i would pick the “Single Rider Steerhide leather Motorcycle Jacket 641″. it has classic american man style with a heavy duty leather that will last almost as long as me.
I like the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141
Easy choice…
Classic Racer (141) … http://www.schottnyc.com/products/fabric/leather/classic-racer-leather-motorcycle-jacket.htm
After already owning a bomber, I’d probably go for something low key. I’d go for the Jeans Style Leather Jacket 100.
I’d like the A-2 Flight Jacket A2SM. Great site.
The single racer in long sizes (141L) is a jacket that I’ve had my eye on for a long while. I’d gladly pay the difference on a coat of that caliber that fits just right. Hope I get a chance to break one of those in.
The Easy Rider Striped Leather Motorcycle Jacket 671, i just want this one. Basically as a little kid my neighbour wore one like that (without the stripes) since then I always wanted one.
It’s gotta be the Cowhide Casual Racer 654.
Can’t decide! Either the Horsehide Perfecto 1928H or the Horsehide Racer 689H.
regards,
Gary
Talk about a tough choice! I’ll go with 233, Military Style Antique Lambskin Leather Bomber Jacket.
Thanks AOM!
The Multizip Racer Jacket … so hot.
I would get the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585. Looks pretty cool.
just like my father.
The Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket looks awesome
well, what I really want is the Classic Wool Naval Pea Coat with Leather Trim 740C in black or charcoal BUT since it only comes in navy I’ll go with the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585. As someone mentioned above…Indiana Jones would be proud.
I’m glad we are getting into the topic of motorcycles. I hope to read more posts on the topic soon.
Classic Perfecto Steerhide Leather Motorcycle Jacket 618 is a solid looking jacket, classic.
For my man, a Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135 in Brown! I love it!
Too many good choices, but the 585 Vintage Motorcycle Jacket stands out.
Women’s Lightweight Fitted Peacoat DU751W would be ideal for the southern winters.
I like the Leather Field Jacket, JF207. It is Bad-Ass to the Tenth Power! Just like me.
Chris
A Classic Perfecto Steerhide Leather Motorcycle Jacket 618 would be great.
I’ve had my Schott wool coat for four or fiver years now, and it’s simply fantastic. I highly recommend one.
In the leather coats, I’d go with the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide.
The lambskin Cafe Racer would be the coat of choice for this gent.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/length/waist/perf-trimmed-lightweight-lambskin-cafe-racer.htm
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135
I want the Leather Peacoat (in a long). Please please please – it’s COLD down here
Classic Racer Jacket in Long Size 141L
Size 42
Thanks!
Pretty standard for me.
Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket – Long Sizes 118L
I’m glad they offer the longer length, I’m slim, and most 38-40 shouldered jackets leave me with cold wrists.
Great jackets. True classics.
The Wool Car Coat DU738 is bonafide B.A. with a nice style for winter cruising.
I have to go with the Classic Perfecto. Nothing cooler than Brando back when he wasn’t bloated and past his acting prime.
I have always loved the look of the heavy bomber jackets. I would go with the:Military Style Antique Lambskin Leather Bomber Jacket 233. What a beautiful piece of work.
There are some pretty intense jackets on that site, but I think that the Multizip Racer Jacket JF221 Would be preferable.
Classic perfecto leather motorcycle jacket 118
adam
The Easy Rider Striped Leather Motorcycle Jacket is just sexy. Plain and simple
233 antique bomber jacket for me size 46
Oh man! How I would love to give my manly beloved the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585! Thanks for running the contest, and thanks for the site.
Easy Rider Striped Leather Jacket. This is an manly jacket from such a great American film. Most importantly it will feel great to ride my cruiser in such comfort and style. Keep the quality products coming Schott!
I’d have to go with the 141 Classic Racer. Simple and elegant.
Difficult choice, with so many fine products. However, I think that Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585 would look rather nice on me. Just need to get a vintage motorcycle to go with it.
My choice is the A2 Flight Jacket size small.
Does the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585 come in long? If not, perhaps the Classic Racer Jacket in Long Sizes 141L (my armspan may be impressive, but it’s hard to find jackets that impress in conjunction). Here’s hopin’.
A few great looking jackets, but I think my favorite is this one:
Single Rider Steerhide leather Motorcycle Jacket 641
Was looking at bomber jackets last Christmas but a good one is just out of my range. Would be cool to have though.
Vintage Leather Police Jacket J604
This is a clasic, I would ware this every day!
leather naval pea coat
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/leather-naval-pea-coat.htm
I definitely would go for the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141. Looks great!
Good tips on breaking the jacket in. I would like to win the Womens Motorcycle 141W jacket in a size 8. Good Luck to me….
Mesquite, TX
I prefer the brown 585Vintage Motorcycle Jacket, but seeing as how I’m six six, I’m (with long monkey arms) I might need the 141L Classic Racer Jacket in Long Sizes… If I win, I’ll let the experts decide which one would work better for me. Chest size right at 44…. so probably go with an XL to give me some space.
Thanks in advance for the jacket, I fully intend on being chosen!
ART of MANLINESS ROCKS!
My borther and I wer lucky and we found two of my dad’s old jackets from his high school days in our house, nothing like vintage leather already broken in for you.
I have my eye on the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141.
As cool as the Perfecto jackets are, I’d have to choose the 184SML A-2 Naked Cowhide Flight Jacket, size 52. A very manly jacket.
Women’s Lightweight Fitted Peacoat DU751W in red size small
My jacket preference is the Single Rider Steerhide #641
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/single-rider-steerhide-leather-motorcycle.htm
I’d definitely go for the A-2 Flight Jacket. It’s a classic look that’s still highly practical.
It’d be super awesome to get the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585!
One Star Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 613. Size 42.
I would definately choose the Easy Rider Jacket 671. It is the epitome of American Leather jackets and I can’t see myself in anything else.
Here is a link to the greatest leather jacket of all time:
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/other/made-in-usa/easy-rider-striped-leather-motorcycle.htm
It’s the G1 aviator jacket for me!!!
The A-2 Naked Cowhide Leather Flight Jacket 184SM looks pretty sleek. A great combination of warmth, practicality, and military gusto.
I would just adore the DU751W. Granted it doesn’t get cold that often down here in Florida, but last week it was in the 40s! That coat would have been perfect.
Casual weekend pebbled cowhide jacket. Wow!
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket no 135. Many thanks!!
Thank you for entering me to win one of these fabulous coats. I like the: Women’s Duffle Coat D742W
Thanks!
Love these coats- I’d like to win the
Melton Wool Clasp Jacket JF704
Thanks.
135 Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket in black is perfect for tooling around town and entertaining customers at a good local watering hole
The A2SML in Brown size 46 will do the trick and keep me very warm temperature wise and very hot style wise
great jackets, i’d have to go with the classic racer in brown.
I’d go with the Military Style Antique Lambskin Leather Bomber Jacket – Nice!
The 184SM A-2 Naked Cowhide Leather Flight Jacket looks awesome. Thank you for offering this!
I have a Shott Bomber jacket that I got as a gift several years ago, and I totally love it. I think this time I’d have to say I’d go for the Double Breasted Military Leather Jacket 650. Too cool for school! Okay, I admit, that was a hokey comment.
You can’t beat the original: Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 118.
Classic Perfecto Steerhide Leather Motorcycle Jacket 618
Love the Style #233 Leather Bomber Jacket from Schott. Old-school look like that never really goes out of style and it’s a jacket that really provides some warmth. Any other bomber jacket I’ve ever worn has drawn rave reviews from passer-bys and I’m sure this one would do the same.
I really like the Leather Naval Pea Coat 140. Classy and looks like it would last forever.
I just signed up for Twitter so I hope I did it right. Anyway, I’ve been eyeballing the Lambskin Bomber Jacket JF224 for about a month now. I haven’t bought myself a leather jacket since 1993. I think it’s time.
I’d probably choose the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135.
i’m a huge fan of the wool car coat DU738 and the wool field jacket 712… but i can’t say the motorcycle jackets aren’t amazing as well… that vintaged perfecto jacket is suhweet! pretty much any of the perfecto jackets are awesome.
G-1 Leather Flight Jacket in Big sizes BG1S for me. What a cool looking jacket.
My choice of leather jacket from Schott’s would be the Multi Pocket Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 125, size 52 to wear while my best friend and wife ride the thoroughfares of the great country. We are planning a trip to Gettysburg, PA next summer and a good leather coat on a motorcycle is a must for safety reason. Cowhide just does not tear as easily as human flesh, and yes I have experienced that as well.
The Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141 is exactly my style. Much cooler than the jacket I picked up from the thrift store during the summer.
G-1 Top Gun Leather Bomber Jacket
Is the Jacket I like, years and years ago I use to have one and then it lasted forever, (Until I got a divorce and my wife who liked it also, well the jacket suddenly diappeared
I’d take the Single Rider Steerhide leather Motorcycle Jacket 641.
The jacket that really caught my eye was the Double Breasted Military Leather Jacket 650. That’s the one I would choose should my name be drawn as the winner. It’s got a great retro vibe to it, and looks like something Steve McQueen might wear in an old WWII film. Great-looking jacket.
Double Breasted Military Leather Jacket 650. This one is one of the top 3 most distinctive jackets on the site. Awesome.
Tough decision, but I have to go with the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135 is definitely for me
Whether I’m riding my bike down Congress Ave.. to my favorite pub-n-grub showing off for the ladies, or running away from a runaway boulder while booby trap arrows dart towards me, I will always look Manly in a Vintage Motorcycle Jacket #585.
Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585 is sweet!
It is so hard to choose. I love the A-2, how can you not it is a classic. However, I really love the clean lines and more formal look of the Leather Naval Pea Coat 140. That would be my pick.
I have to say I’ve got my eye on the Wool Car Coat DU738. Been looking for a nice wool coat for a while, and that looks like the perfect one!
I’m a fan of understated style. The Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 13 is right up my alley.
The Classic Perfecto is still so stylish.
I have a classic 125 motorcycle jacket but would love to have the Men’s Classic Horsehide Racer Motorcycle Jacket with Spread Collar 689H
The Easy Rider.
Oh, but the Double Breasted Military Leather Jacket 650 is lovely. That’d be my jacket of choice.
Already got an A-2 flight jacket and my old USN peacoat. So I’ll take a classic 118 in long. Can’t beat a classic.
My father has the A-2 Flight Jacket that must be over 20 years old. Back in high school I started wearing it and even though the lining on the inside was all ripped up, I loved that jacket almost as much as he still does. Now for myself I’d love to get the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585 so I won’t have to start swiping my father’s jacket again.
I really like the Washed Lambskin Jean Jacket. That’d be my pick. Congrats to who wins one of these awesome jackets.
these have got to be some of the manliest jackets ive ever seen…seriously.
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 125 in brown. Simple but classy, modern but vintage.
What a great contest! I was just looking at getting a new motorcycle jacket. If I won I would definitely choose #141 Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket. Looks like a superb jacket.
I quite like the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585.
It was a hard decision, but I’ll go with the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585.
Great Giveaway. Those jackets are fantastic! The Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135 is my favorite.
Easy Rider Striped Leather Motorcycle Jacket 671
Never had leather, and would love to start with quality. I’d take the classic 135.
Tough call between the vintage motorcycle jacket and the wool peacoat. Im going to have to think about this one.
I’m a fan of the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135
The Slim Peacoat looks really nice
Men’s Slim Fitting Wool Peacoat DU704I
It would be hard to beat the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141 for style, comforts, and safety on or off a motorcycle.
I think the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket would be amazing. It is a classic design that can easily be dressed up or down (more formal or casual) depending on the situation.
Don’t forget that once you’ve worn it in you should oil it regularly to keep it from being too creaky. Especially if you’re actually wearing it: a dry coat can sit around just fine, but wearing it when it’s dried out will increase wear a lot.
The Double Breasted Military Leather Jacket looks incredible. I don’t think I’ve seen something like it before. I thought when I first saw it that it was like a Duster, and nobody should wear a Duster. But the length seems perfect for the jacket and you just can’t beat double breasted!
Classic racer with the spread collar is the way to go!
The Classic Perfecto Steerhide Leather Motorcycle Jacket 618 (I felt the whole thing needed to be written out of respect) is an amazing jacket. Just like Brando’s in “The Wild One”. The leather jacket Schott makes is such a powerful symbol of manliness, the whole time you watch the movie you can’t help but have a begrudging respect for Brando. Though he terrorizes the town and shows no sympathy for his actions the first time I saw that movie (about a year ago actually) I could see that he was a man with enough bravado and charisma to not (pardon my language to those who think it uncouth) take shit from anyone. A large part of this in my mind was due to two things 1.his motorcycle and 2. his Schott’s Jacket. It’s really a timeless piece of clothing and seeing as how I’m a pretty young man, I’d count myself lucky to be able to show some of the younger generation what quality is. I realize I’ve rambled a bit but i felt i needed to say my peace.
Classic Wool Naval Pea Coat with Leather Trim 740C, please sirs.
i think that i would go with the milton classic pea coat. or maybe the wool car coat. i dont need a leather because i have my dads already broken in bomber from the 70s and 80s
Classic 32 Oz. Melton Wool Naval Pea Coat 740, only because I just bought a leather one!
The one I would like is the classic perfecto leather Motorcyle Jacket 118L (Long Sizes)…..you can’t ever beat a classic like that.
I’ve owned a few leathers over the years, and none has been as well made as a Schott!
I would be thrilled with the Leather Naval Pea Coat 140 in size 36! Here’s to winning!
If I win, I’ll have the Classic Perfecto Steerhide Leather Motorcycle Jacket. I’ve admired them since I was a boy!
I’m torn between the Classic 32 Oz. Melton Wool Naval Pea Coat 740 and the Classic B-3 Sheepskin Leather Bomber Jacket 257S. Both look fantastic.
i have always admired the bomber classic jacket.
Entering the contest – for the Jeans Style Leather Jacket!
I’ve got my eye on that Classic Horsehide Racer Motorcycle Jacket.
The Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141 (Black, of course) is the ultimate “everyday cool” jacket. Although the bomber jackets and Pea Coats are equally as cool in their own right, I think the clean lines, simplicity, and complete lack of frills sets the Classic Racer above the rest as “manliest” (without being too overbearingly so) and definitely most usable. Whether your on your motorcycle (sportbike or cruiser!), roughing it in the mountains, out for a night on the town, or just going to the store to get a gallon of milk for the kids, this jacket is up to the task and stylish.
The Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141 is the most versatile, instant-manliness outerwear that is as classic as it is fresh.
oh man, I’d have to go classic motorcycle leather jacket for sure. I might have to get a motorcycle to go with it though.
I would like to win a A-2 Flight Jacket. Schott NYC is a famous brand. Thank you.
How long does the typical leather jacket last? They always seem so expensive and easy to ruin for me to purchase them. Am I just judging them too harshly?
Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141… damn those are some nice lookin coats
Already own a *magnificent* Schott 641 which is absolutely awesome. Would love to add a double breasted 650 coa (size 36) to it!
I think that #233 would be great! I have have leather jackets before, lost one, nothing beats one!
I like the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585 found here: http://www.schottnyc.com/products/fabric/leather/vintage-motorcycle-jacket.htm
I would look awesome in it
Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141 for my son!
I would love to win the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135
Military Style Antique Lambskin Leather Bomber Jacket 233
So awesome!
I’d love the 618 in a 40 or 42 — not sure
Double Breasted Military Leather Jacket 650 in a large would be very nice, the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585 would also be nice.

Make mine a 618 perfecto.
I can’t wait to get my hands on the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135. I’d rock it everywhere and break it in perfectly like I do with my dry denim.
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135 is pretty badass in its simplicity. I would love to rock that one.
Classic Racer Jacket in Long Sizes 141L : very sleek looking….

Wowza, I feel like I have been waiting for this contest my entire life. Schott is a true blue american classic. My choice is simple–the Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 118, size 38. Thanks, Schott. It is so awesome that I have the possibility of winning this jacket, can’t wait to find out!

It has to be a Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141 for me. Molto bene!
I would like the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket #141
Must say I’m smitten for the “Classic 32 Oz. Melton Wool Naval Pea Coat 740″
I like the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket.
If I win I would choose the black A-2 Naked Cowhide Leather Flight Jacket in a size 38. =) Good luck everyone! (crossing fingers)
I would like a leather jacket, please. That way, I could wear it around. People would say things like, “Hey, look at that guy. He’s got a leather jacket.” Other options include, “Whoa daddy,” and “Man, he sure looks spiffy in that leather jacket of his!”
I think I could be quite happy with this one: Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135
My favorite Schott pick would be the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket. Perfect style for an investment piece. Works just as easily with jeans or over slacks for work.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-schott-racer-leather-motorcycle.htm
would look perfect on me.
Thanks!
The Classic Racer 141 would go well with my old Honda cafe conversion. The minimal design and clean lines make it more comfortable wearing it on a bike you’re leaning over on, especially for trips out of town. It’s also made in the good ‘ole USA.
Cowhide Casual Racer would look great on me when I am riding my ‘85 Honda Interceptor.
I’d have to say the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket in the brown would look pretty darned good on me.
I would love to have the Classic Naval Pea Coat w/Leather Trim. I had a Naval Pea Coat in high school and I miss it.
leather field jacket would get a lot of wear
I like classic racer jacket 141
I like the classic racer jacket 141
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/fabric/leather/classic-racer-leather-motorcycle-jacket.htm
JUst as I was shopping around. These are great jackets. Hope I win!
The Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket (135) size 40 is definitely right up my alley. It’s a nice looking jacket that doesn’t look like a motorcycle jacket and would be perfect to throw over a shirt and tie.
That double breasted military leather jacket has my name written all over it. I don’t have $530 handy but I do have $30 burning a hole in my pocket.
i really like the Melton Wool Clasp Jacket JF704. It would be great to own one of these!
It’s the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135 for me.
I like the Double Breasted Military Leather Jacket 650.
The Easy Rider Jacket is the only way to go.
I would love to get my husband the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket. I think he’d like that on the best! He needs a nice new coat.
A Classic Perfecto Steerhide Leather Motorcycle Jacket 618 in a 46 would suit me just fine.
Call me simple, but I really like the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141… but that Easy Rider Striped Leather Motorcycle Jacket 671 is tempting too…
Just like Joshua, I’m a fan of the classic racer look, and as such, this would be my ideal leather jacket:
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-racer-leather-motorcycle-jacket.htm
Leather jackets look good online, but would look much better on me.
Nice Jackets.
Black Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135
Classic Racer (141)
The Split Cowhide Leather Rancher Coat 359 looks good to me. Size 42 should do just fine. Functional? No doubt. Classic? Absolutely.
Love the clean lines on the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135.
These jackets are amazing. I ride a vintage 1976 Honda motorcycle and nothing makes you look cooler than a schott jacket on a vintage bike.
My entry for the contest: Classic Schott Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket in Horsehide 641HH
Good luck to everybody!
Man, the Cowhide Casual Race just has a classic feel to it.
I would look very manly in a Classic Schott Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket in Horsehide 641HH, size 42, whether in my ‘50 Ford Custom Deluxe, at the track with the race car, or on the bike my wife might let me buy after seeing me in this jacket…
Definitely Classic Schott Racer. Got the bike, need the coat.
I need a jacket that will get the ladies to flock to me when I wear it. So, I gotta have the 395 – The “Western Fringe”. This chick magnet will guarantee me all the hotties next time I go to a hoedown or a square dance.
I like the Perfecto classic – can’t beat a Brando.
The “Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141″ is probably the best looking in my opinion, and its definitely getting cold enough to need a good jacket.
If i could have my choice of Schott leather jacket I would choose the 141 classic racer leather size 42. what a classic clean look.. and these tips for breaking in a leather jacket really work well…..
My entry for the contest is…
Cowhide Casual Racer 654
Good luck to all.
I like the Classic Schott Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket in Horsehide
Classic Schott Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket in Horsehide 641HH — That’s an awesome jacket. It may be cooler than I am, but that’s ok.
The Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585 would be a nice Christmas present surprise.
Horsehide Perfecto D Pocket 1928H
That’s my style and pretty much would be the last jacket or coat I’ll ever have to own. Made a mistake with the last one – let a friend borrow it because she was cold. NEVER again. She threw up on it. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. Lesson learned. I’m buying a new one for myself for Christmas, but if you pick me to be the winner, I’ll be able to get a WAY better one than i can afford right now.
I love the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585 in Brown. Size Large, please, and Yes, I’ll pay the difference!
My ideal jacket would be the black Multi-Pocket Lambskin Bomber 9H801. Wow.
Definately the Military Style Antique Lambskin Leather Bomber Jacket 233 in Antique Size 36. Good luck everyone and happy holidays.
I’ll tell you what, you provide me with a striped 671 motorcycle jacket, and I will proudly wear it when I quit my job and ride from New York to San Francisco next summer!
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/easy-rider-striped-leather-motorcycle.htm
Vintaged Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 618V1. The things I could do with that jacket. Oh God just thinking about it is making me salivate, “ggguuuhhhhHHHhhhHHhh…*smack* *smack* Someone hand me a towel.”
Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141 if possible please
Its a toss up between the Double Breasted Military Leather Jacket 650 and the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket… guess i’ll have a tough decision to make when I win this contest…
Men’s Multi-Zipper Leather Bomber Jacket 8H801
yeaaaahhhhh That’s the jacket for me! It was MADE for me! I mean, they actually said, “hey, come here we will make you a jacket” and they did….they just forgot to give it to me….then……when they first made it……….
LM
Leather Naval Pea Coat 140 black. either a 34 or 36. It’s been a while since i’ve bought a jacket so i’ll need to remeasure.
I really love this jacket … the true owner (who’s love is pure for the jacket) should have the jacket….that would be me
LM
I think I would get the Jeans Style Leather Jacket 100. I have a leather coat that must be made of lamb’s skin or something, because it is starting to fray at the cuffs and by the zipper. This one looks fairly durable and stylish.
I love the look of the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket (141) in brown and size 40. Thanks.
-Stuart
618 Classic Perfecto Steerhide Leather Motorcycle Jacket. Thanks.
Easy Rider Striped Leather Motorcycle Jacket
Recently purchased a new bomber but would love a small a2sm for my brother
Unlined Leather Rocker Shirt J225
Ohhhhh, such amazing jackets… Why, the 141 Classic Racer in black, of course!
Thanks…
What a better way to up my manliness than to own my first leather jacket. I’ve been wanting a Classic Perfecto Steerhide Leather Motorcycle Jacket in 46 for awhile now. Hopefully I get a merry christmas this year!!!!
Man, I’d definitely go for the double breasted military leather jacket. Sweet. Of course, the anything in the Perfecto line is nothing to sneeze at.
Love the Classic Wool Naval Pea Coat with Leather Trim 740C! I’ll have one of those please
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket looks pretty sweet!
I am loving the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141
The Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide 135 looks like the perfect jacket. Great article and resource.
The Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135 in black looks just right. What an incredible collection of jackets.
Washed Lambskin Jean Jacket JF202
I want one!!
Nothing could possibly beat the original Perfecto. Nothing has looked cooler since.
The whole line looks great. However, I’ll stick with the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135 in black.
I would like the Classic Schott Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket in Horsehide 641HH;
The leather chaps could be fun, but not $400 worth of fun. I am not the leather pants kind of guy. I already have a nice black leather coat. I would go with a little more casual A2 flight jacket. I liked the bomber jackets, but don’t care for the furry collar.
Fantastic looking product. I would choose the Weekend Pebbled Cowhide – 135 for its simple good looks and style.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-racer-leather-motorcycle-jacket.htm
Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141
It is SO cold in San Francisco today, and shivering is SO unmanly.
It may be more than $500 but the Classic B-3 Sheepskin Leather Bomber Jacket is worth paying the difference for.
I’ve been looking for a nice pea coat and the navy design is spot on
740 Classic 32 Oz. Melton Wool Naval Pea Coat
Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141
Great article and contest — I would love to own and wear the Classic 32 Oz. Melton Wool Naval Pea Coat 740. Thanks!
Wool Car Coat DU738, Oxford Grey, Size Medium.
Men’s Slim Fitting Wool Peacoat DU704I. beautiful, classic, elegant. a perfect college coat, and a beautiful khaki color that you don’t usually see in other pea coats.
The B-3 sheepskin definitely. I’ve been wanting one for years. And I would not mind paying the $188 difference one bit for such a fine coat.
I need a new motorcycle jacket, since the one I own is a bit scarred from a crash, so I’d go for the Classic Perfecto Steerhide Leather Motorcycle Jacket 618.
Men’s Classic Horsehide Racer Motorcycle Jacket with Spread Collar
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135. It calls to me… Ahhh, why can’t everyone have leather jackets like these?
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135
Definitely the Vintage Motorcycle jacket 585. It would finally give me a reason to get that motorcycle!
I think I’d have to go with the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585…My current leather jacket is starting to show its age and this would be the perfect replacement.
I don’t think there’s a man out there who hasn’t wanted a Classic Perfecto at some point in his life, that’d be the one for me.
One Star Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 613
Has to be the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket (135). Made in the USA and a classic design.
My favorite jacket is the Classic Schott Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket in Horsehide
Vintaged Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 618V1
Loved the tips
I favor the third and fifth method…getting caught in the rain, and no substitute for wearing it, have done both in my 17 year old Schott 184, and it looks great.
I’d never steel wool a jacket, or crumple it into a ball and toss it around, that seems like abuse of a high quality garment.
Tough choice on jacket styles, need more time to think about it….
I like the Cowhide Casual Racer 654. It’s a nice simple style, neither showy nor overly-casual.
585 brown vintage motorcycle jacket
Its pretty hard to beat the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141. Such a clean look.
Classic Wool Naval Pea Coat with Leather Trim 740C.
Nice.
I fancy me some “G-1 Leather Flight Jacket G1S”, it’s simple yet attractive.
The A-2 Flight Jacket is just awesome. I just saw a couple of these in the Pima Air and Space Museum, along with a bunch of other B-17 memorabilia. This jacket is a tribute to the many men whose efforts helped turn the tide in Europe and win the war.
So many great jackets & coats, it’s hard to choose just one. However, I think the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket (585) is the one for me. Thanks.
The Classic B-3 Sheepskin Leather Bomber Jacket is a jacket I have been wanting for years. Living in the Rockies I see my fair share of sub-zero weather and think that this coat will be perfect.
I would love the #233 Military style antique lambskin bomber jacket! Booyahh!
Women’s Washed Lambskin Fitted Cafe Racer JF202W
Fantastic jacket- I do the PR for Schott NYC in England but sadly for me we are mainly menswear?! Is that sad? Or is it a bonus as it means I’m dressing male models?! Fingers crossed for this majorly xx
Those Scholl coats look great! I like the Long Navy Peacoat, 140L.
Thanks Art of Manliness!
Great article. I think my son would look marvelous in the Antique Lambskin Bomber Leather Jacket.
I just discovered the Art of Manliness website today. I’m impressed. I will be sharing it with everyone I know. Thanks!
Much like several others, I would totally go for an large A2 jacket in antique: A2SM
I’d have my mind set on a Wool Car Coat (DU738)…boy would that be nice…looks like a great company.
I’m torn between several, of course. But ultimately, I would go with the Washed Lambskin Jean Jacket and just try to live up to its level of coolness.
So many amazing jackets to chose from.
But I think the one I would like would be Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135.
I think it is very stylish
I’ve been eyeing a http://www.schottnyc.com/products/other/made-in-usa/classic-wool-naval-pea-coat.htm for a while now.
I personally like the G-1 Leather Flight Jacket in Big sizes. As a bigger guy, I’m always having trouble finding jackets. I have always wanted a leather jacket but have never been able to find a quality one in my size and wasnt getting raped by the price. This one seems to be the fit for me. And it looks way cool.
Jeans Style Leather Jacket 100
I really like the Double Breasted Military Leather Jacket 650 and would happily pay the extra 30 bucks if I won.
I have to say I would like the Naval Pea Coat (740). It looks great.
I like the A-2 Flight Jacket.
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide. Simple as that.
The Classic Racer Leather Jacket 141. It really is classic. And I would easily wear it out, as in, wear it way too often. Just like my last Schott jacket, which has seen better days.
Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585
Hands down, the A2 in medium. The silk escape map lining really is the kicker.
An A-2 Flight Jacket, a Bailey Adventurer hat, and a Smith and Wesson .44 special Triple Lock. Is there a problem here?
I’d go with the 135, the Casual Weekend Cowhide jacket. Looks great and comfortable.
Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585 all the way – GORGEOUS!
Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141… Love it.
Super Classic. I’d love to have this jacket and have it be the thing i give my grandson when he’s looking through my closet for new clothes after high school.
I love the Easy Rider replica!
Got to go with the classic Perfecto 188. The Wild One.
Certainly the Washed Lambskin Jean Jacket JF202. It has a rugged, manly, vintage look to it that would make anyone feel like The Man.
I like the A-2 Flight jacket (A2SM) in “Antique” and Large. What a great piece of history.
The G-1 Top Gun Leather Bomber Jacket G1TG has me drooling. As a soon-to-be U.S. Marine I would love to be seen in this manly bomber coat. It is priced at $575, but I would have no problem paying the difference.
Classic Racer Jacket 141
I lost my Navy Pea Coat shortly after leaving the Navy and I have my eye on a black Leather Naval Pea Coat 140. Mine was wool, but why not upgrade while your shopping at Schott’s!
Clean, simple, and timeless. The A-2 reminds me of my dad’s old flight jacket.
Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585
This brown jacket would be amazing, would be extremely happy to win and front the rest of the cost.
Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585 (Large)
This brown jacket would be amazing, would be extremely happy to win and front the rest of the cost.
I’m a fan of the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket (135). Nice, clean lines – nothing too flashy.
Wool Car Coat DU738 in oxford grey would look very nice on me — I drive an old car that takes a while to warm up. This would do quite nicely in these topsy turvy mid-atlantic winters.
The wool car coat is pretty sweet.
Wait, does it still count if the jacket I pick isn’t leather? Curses!
I would absolutely love the Wool Car Coat DU738. Leather is definitely a classic look, but the Wool Coat style oozes a tough ability to look after things, and shows the character that the wearer understands that sometimes function outweighs fashion.
Washed Lambskin Jean Jacket JF202 is my pick.
The Classic Melton Wool Naval Pea Coat 740 looks very elegant indeed. That would certainly be my choice.
I’m a big fan of the Men’s Slim Fitting Wool Peacoat since I am a slender smaller guy and I need a more mature upgrade. Navy and size Small
I’d have to go with the classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket (#118).
I don’t actually need a jacket ATM (goodwilled a decent looking wool trenchcoat, which is a great coat for what I’ve to spend on the things right now), but were I to win one I’d probably go with the 184SM A-2 Naked Cowhide Leather Flight Jacket.
Gotta dig me some Multizip Racer Jacket JF221
So many incredible jackets on the Schott website! What an amazing selection. If I had to select just one, I think it would have to be the #585 Vintage Motorcycle Jacket. Stylish, yet practical for day-to-day wear.
And owning the jacket might even inspire me to finally look seriously at getting a Royal Enfield.
I’ve actually been eying the Classic 32 oz. Melton Wool Naval Peacoat 740 for quite a while. What a wonderful surprise it would be to to win it!
Classic Pebbled Weekend Jacked #135 would do me very well.
Classic indeed!
135 Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket looks awesome! size 36
I’d love to have the Cowhide Casual Racer (654).
I think the 585. Classic.
I’d have to go with the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585–although it’s a tough choice.
I would choose the Double Breasted Military Leather Jacket 650. It screams classic Military Jacket, yet looks modern enough.
Like the others said, there are so many great choices, but I’d have to say I like the simple look of the casual weekend jacket (number 135).
hard to pick… so many that look great (585? 650?? wow!), but I think I’d go with understated & that’d be the …
“Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135″
I would choose the classic 32oz Melton Woo Naval Pea Coat 740. I have always wanted one.
I’d go for the Leather Naval Pea Coat 140 in black.
What a great website. I have a new son in law who can use lots of the advice shared on these pages. I get a chance to bond with him while making him (and me) more manly.
I would have to go with the wool car coat in gray!
They’re all fantastic looking coats Forced to choose, I’d go with 140L, the
leather pea coat in long sizes. I’d gladly pay the difference.
Marty
Definitely would go with the classic Naval Pea Coat in Charcoal (740).
Definitely would have to go with the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket, maybe not the best but you could wear it anywhere and it looks incredibly good.
hard choice… but the Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket – Long Sizes, is about perfect.
I love a man in Leather. This one would go to my baby:
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/easy-rider-striped-leather-motorcycle.htm
I would happily pay the difference over $500 for a double breasted military jacket.
I’d love the Leather Naval Pea Coat
I love my old leather jacket, but I’ve…ummm…outgrown it. Need one in a larger size!
They are all great but I think the only one that I could wear most would be the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135.
Man, there’s a lot of great jackets to choose from. I think I’d like understated and classic 135 casual weekend jacket. It seems pretty versatile.
The Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585 is calling my name.
Motorcycle Jacket 618. I have yet to find a good riding leather jacket new; I’ve been using my father’s leather jacket from the 1960s for years now.
My favorite is the washed lambskin jean jacket.
A-2 Naked Cowhide Leather Flight Jacket 184SM undoubtedly.
Does llama make good leather? There is a bunch of new llama farms here in Virginia. Can they be sheared like sheep, is their skin high-quality, or are they just being kept as pets? This whole llama craze confuses me.
I have to say, I’m liking these coats but my pick is a modest one. I would love to have a slim-fitting wool peacoat.
I love all of these coats. The wool ones are perfect, but I am in need of a nice leather jacket. I think the Pebbled Weekend Cowskin 135 would be the best fit for me.
Thanks for the tips on wearing in leather jackets too!
I’m digging the Easy Rider Striped Leather Motorcycle Jacket 671.
Owned the 118 in 1972. Was given to me by a neighbor. Miss that jacket.
Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 118
Awesome jackets. I’d go with the classic racer, model 141 (maybe the 141L, as I’m 6′3″ and 200lbs), in black.
You can’t go wrong with a cafe racer.
I would love to get the 141 as a surprise for my husband!
I’m entering to win a Shcott’s NYC jacket. I have my eye on the 140 Leather Naval Pea Coat, black, size 40. I think it’s great that there’s still a company with fine products still being made in the USA. P.S. I love the website and email information. Have a merry Christmas!
entering shcott nyc giveaway. 740c classic wool naval pea coat w/leather trim
Great stuff – Men’s Classic Horsehide Racer Motorcycle Jacket with Spread Collar – 689H. Thanks for bringing Schott’s to attention.
I must say, being a motorcycle rider, and loving the classics….
The “Men’s Classic Horsehide Racer Motorcycle Jacket with Spread Collar 689H” would definitely be my jacket of choice. The traditional cafe racer jacket is LEGENDARY.
Thanks for the article AoM!
Military Style Antique Lambskin Leather Bomber Jacket 233 would be my particular choice, seeing as I’m already well-equipped with a more traditional leather jacket. Schott’s makes some fine looking coats!
That casual weekend jacket (135) does look pretty good, doesn’t it?
#135, the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket. Simple and versatile, which is just what I want in a jacket.
I’m going with the Jeans Style Leather Jacket!
I would choose the A-2 Naked Cowhide Leather Flight Jacket because it looks great.
I own like 5 different Schott leather jackets. The perfecto is my favorite one. I would order the 618 if I could also customize it (ie. no belt, no epaulet) so it’s somehow different to my own. Otherwise I think I would go with the double breasted 650. The casual 135 is probably a great choice also…
Schott keep up your perfect craftmanship and style!
Man, great looking jackets. I’d have to say the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141 looks the best to me and man do I need some leather right now. Still riding daily here in Oklahoma but layering up my mesh jacket isn’t cutting it under 40 degree weather
I love the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141
Great look, seems top quality!
Personally, I think the brown Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585 looks the best and would look the best when broken in, and if Schott wants to hold up their end, I would be more than happy to pay 28+tax for one of those.
I think the Melton Wool Clasp Jacket JF704 is for me, but the Classic 32 Oz. Melton Wool Naval Pea Coat 740 is giving it a tight race.
I would select the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket in brown as gift for my husband. He loves leather but doesn’t have a leather coat!
The Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135, looks amazing!
Classic Perfecto leather. It’s beautiful.
I would choose the Leather Naval Pea Coat 140. And that is one excellent choice.
Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 118. I’ve been looking for a great looking bike jacket!
After looking at all the great jackets, I kept going back to the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141. It’s such a sweet jacket!
So many amazing jackets but need to have the Multi-Pocket Lambskin Bomber 9H801 for my strolls in NYC!!!
I’d have to pick the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585. Looks great!
I’d have to pick the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585. Looks great!
Very James Dean. I like it.
I would greatly enjoy the A-2 Flight Jacket in Men’s Long Sizes 184SML in a 44.
With the winters here in Montana, I’m going to have to go with the Classic B-# Sheepskin Leather Bomber Jacket #257S. Toasty warm!
Military Style Antique Lambskin Leather Bomber Jacket
An A-2 Flight Jacket in Long – 184SML – would be amazing. I’ve always wanted a leather flight jacket!
Nice article! Although I”m not sure I could take steel wool to a sweet new leather jacket… but I’d give it a Schott. I’ve got my eye on the Schott 585 Vintage Motorcycle Jacket. Would be an awesome match to my new Triumph.
I tell ya, I wouldn’t mind having that Jeans Style Leather Jacket 100, that’s really sharp.
I love the Leather Naval Pea Coat #140, in black, size 50. It would be perfect for me to wear to work!
Men’s Slim Fitting Wool Peacoat please, in black. Or dark grey.
Thanks so much Schott N.Y.C. I know I’ll win this time!
I think a Classic Wool Naval Pea Coat with Leather Trim 740C would be outstanding! In a size 40, please.
I would get the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket if I won.
I like the look of that A-2 Naked Cowhide Leather Flight Jacket 184SM. It would be my first leather jacket so I really hope to win it!
Don’t think I entered in this. I’d like the Perfecto Steerhide Leather Jacket #618.
I really like the Satin Lined Duffle Coat DU748. In black.
I would get the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide leather jacket if I won.
So many beautiful jackets and hard to pick just one! I would be so happy to win the Classic Perfecto Leather. Thanks Schott.
I’m thinking the Double Breasted Military Leather Jacket 650 is the one for me.
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135
Being retired Military, I really like the timeless look of Schott’s A-2 Flight Jacket A2SM.
The Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135 is a fine looking garment.
A man’s jacket! I will be getting this one if I win: A-2 Naked Cowhide Leather Flight Jacket 184SM
I used to own one much like this one. A good old friend handed it down to me. He was a WWII Vet. He told me there is nothing that makes you feel manlier than wearing this jacket!
I have been eyeing the 141 in Brown for months now…. I am really close to pulling the trigger on this thing, but free would be the best price
some things you see once and they stay lodged in your mind. the vintage motorcycle jacket would be perfect for me, i loved the military jackets but im a Marine not a Flyboy
Leather Navy Pea coat for my daughter who is headed to the Navy in March then on to the Defense Language Institue in Monterey.
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135
I think it’s a very clean look.
I think the JF 207 Leather Feild Jacket is really sharp. It may be time now to get a leather jacket regardless. Thanks for the tips on breaking them in.
I think the best way to weather a jacket is to just wear it. Just have patience and it’ll end up looking better than anything you try to do so artificially.
I’d absolutely love a Schott’s A-2 Flight Jacket A2SM, myself.
Classic 32 Oz. Melton Wool Naval Pea Coat 740
Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 118 size 32
Definitely the Classic 32 Oz.Melton Wool Naval Pea Coat 740 in Navy.
The Wool Car Coat DU 738 for me!
Wow…I’d really like one of those flight jackets…I need something more substantial for the colder months.
My choice would be the Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket. Looks like a new version of the one I have now–more than well broken in after 10 years of wear. But as they say, “it’s not the years, it’s the mileage” and I am looking for a new jacket to put some serious miles on.
G-1 Lambskin Flight Jacket is the one.
I love the Classic Schott Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket in Horsehide 641HH. Can’t mess with horse hide!
If i win i’m going to have to go with the Men’s Multi-Zip Wool Field Jacket 7H803 in a 2XL. It truly is a beautiful and manly coat worthy of a Utah Winter.
Multizip Racer Jacket JF221
One of these are going on my list of “to purchase” as soon as I get back from Iraq.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-racer-leather-motorcycle-jacket.htm
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/men/carcoat/wool-car-coat.htm
I’d be happy with either the JF207 Leather Field Jacket or the Multi-Pocket Lambskin Bomber. Both are classy, functional, and manly jackets that would make a great addition to any man’s wardrobe.
I would have to go with the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585.
I too would have to go with the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585.
I have had my eye on the Classic Racer Jacket for quite some time.

I love the Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585 and I wear an L
If chosen, I would like the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141 in brown in size 42.
I’d love either the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket in black. What a beautiful jacket.
I’m going with the classic look, the Jeans Style Leather Jacket 100: http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/street/jeans-style-leather-jacket.htm Respect your elders, I always say
Casual Weekend Pebbled Cowhide Leather Jacket 135 in black 42 is my favorite.
I would choose the Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket 118, unless my wife wants a leather jacket… and then I’d get her whatever she likes.
-Josh
If I could get the A-2 Flight Jacket A2SM in a Small it would make my YEAR
How much is a Perfecto?
The Military Style Antique Lambskin Leather Bomber Jacket 233 in size 40 is just what I love.
I like this one: http://www.schottnyc.com/products/women/women/womens-washed-lambskin-fitted-cafe.htm
Torn between the classic Perfecto, the B3 Bomber or the G1 Navy. Probably the Perfecto.
Merry Christmas to me, size large or 42, http://www.schottnyc.com/products/men/peacoat/double-breasted-military-leather-jacket.htm.
Wool Car Coat DU738 in grey. Very nice coat.
Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585 for me. Thanks!
I’d totally go for the Split Cowhide Leather Rancher Coat 359. Reminds me quite a bit of the coat that the local sheriff wore in the film “Misery”… although things didn’t turn out so great for him, he had a cool coat.
The Classic Racer Jacket 141L would look fantastic on my husband. He totally deserves it!
I would most definitely have to go with the Classic Wool Naval Pea Coat with leather trim, 740 C. Simply for its timelessness.
I absolutely adore the Classic B-3 Sheepskin Leather Bomber Jacket!
Wool Car Coat DU738
It would be great to wear while I’m walking around campus.
Sweet Jackets! So many to choose from and if I won, then I would narrow down the choices (Casual Weekend is at the top for now). Thanks for holding the giveaway.
Definitely the wool car coat (DU738)
Military Style Antique Lambskin Leather Bomber Jacket
That vintage motorcycle 585 is me, either that or the classic horsehide racer.
Classic 32 Oz. Melton Wool Naval Pea Coat 740. Black.

See for yourself: http://www.schottnyc.com/products/men/peacoat/classic-32-oz-melton-wool.htm

Jeans Style Leather Jacket 100 looks great!

Cheers
The Classic Schott Racer is beautiful.
Schott style 135!
Melton Wool Clasp Jacket
I’ve been working on revamping my personal style from my college-era denim jackets and hoodies, and the Classic Wool Naval Pea Coat with Leather Trim (740C) would do wonders in that department.
The Cafe Racer in Horsehide has been the object of my desire for quite some time now.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-schott-racer-leather-motorcycle.htm
But then again, a classic pea coat might be warmer, or a perfecto might be cooler… Nah- cafe racer is the way to go. Made in America. Wow.
Kevin
Easy Rider Striped Motorcycle Jacket, size 44.
The Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket (141) or Vintage Motorcylce Jacket (585) would sure be nice now that I will have my 1985 Suzuki Madura soon.
Great selections but I got to have this one:
DU748
Satin Lined Duffle Coat
Hey! I just posted another link via twitter! Hope to win the Women’s Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141W for Christmas:D
Classic Perfecto for my manly man!
Classic B-3 Sheepskin Leather Bomber Jacket for me. Grandpa used to wear one, be pretty neat if I could too.
Definitely the double breasted military jacket (650)
Arrg! The Classic Racer 141 vs. the Western Fringe 395?
Depends upon which personality that manifests itself when/if I win.
the 135 is a winner! maybe i will be too…
Dying for the Women’s Washed Lambskin Fitted Cafe Racer JF202W in small
Had a Schott 141 way back in the day. Never should have given it up. I think today I’d go for the brown 585. Looks pretty sweet!
I’ll take the Vintaged Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket. Paying the difference is still a deal.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/military/military-style-antique-lambskin-leather.htm
yes size 48 this thing is nice
Those jackets and coats look beautiful.
I’d love to have a Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket (#118)
Yes, I’ll pay the difference that my girth adds to the price
Easily a Classic Racer 143 in size 36
I am a simple guy. A-2 Flight Jacket in XXL for me.
I really dig the Classic Perfecto Steerhide Leather Motorcycle Jacket 618. The peacoats are great, but I have several peacoats already. I have yet to find a leather jacket that suits me, but I feel a jacket from a company such as Schott would be pretty reliable.
#118 – Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket! I could paint “The Horror” across the front instead of ‘Johnny’. Crossing my fingers!
Classic Perfecto Leather Motorcycle Jacket – enough said.
i really like the Lambskin Bomber Jacket JF224 in black. There are so many good jackets for sale on their site, but the average starting size is a XL/XXL! please restock some M!!
I like the police jacket, but they dont have my size
Double breasted military jacket 650 Quite possibly the best looking jacket ever. Although the Mens multi zip wool field jacket looks great as well.
I would have to go with the Double Breasted Military Leather Jacket 650.
My choice would be the Easy Rider Jacket, #671. Can’t go wrong with Captain America! Although the Classic Perfecto is looking pretty good, too….
Multizip Racer Jacket JF221, it’s a sick jaket. Small btw.
I also can’t spell jacket..
A-2 Flight Jacket A2SM Nothing beats a classic jacket like that.
Cowhide Casual Racer 654
Although it’s a tough choice between that and A-2 Flight Jacket A2SM. No way to know without trying it on first.
http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/classic-perfecto-leather-motorcycle-jacket.htm
i’m a 48, thanks for the jacket (i know its early but im hopeful)
Under the wire! The Double Breasted Military Leather Jacket 650 is a fine piece of America, probably in XL (I’m a tall 42/43).
Really like the Classic Racer Leather Motorcycle Jacket 141 in black (size M/40).
Men’s Slim Fitting Wool Peacoat DU704I in a brown large.
I’ll put my name in for the 118 Classic Perfecto!
Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585, I love the vintage style.
The Classic Perfecto looks pretty sweet. I’d be pretty stoked to win one as I’m sure it would add man points to my appearance.
Classic Perfecto Steerhide Leather Motorcycle Jacket 618
thank you folks!
The A-2 Flight Jacket looks good to me….
Got to have a classic Perfecto!
