The 530 is a classic cool, no-frills leather jacket that looks perfect on the road or off the beaten path. Similar to the popular Model 141 but designed with a slimmer fit, this café racer motorcycle jacket is cut by hand from cowhide that was drum dyed, creating a natural, pebbled appearance. As with all leather jackets, Schott uses only the best, highest quality leather for the 530. Durable yet supple with a soft, luxurious feel, your new jacket will feel like a second skin right out of the box, no break-in period required.
Schott believes in details. That’s why we’ve added a leather-trimmed inside breast pocket and unique, custom embossed "Schott" snap faces. The stand-up, mandarin-style collar with a snap closure protects your neck while the 100% cotton plaid lining feels smooth against your skin. You’ll find the three exterior zippered pockets with chain pulls useful for storing small but necessary items on the go. As always, the classic café racer motorcycle jacket style is still produced right here in the USA.

Fit and Construction:
Model 530 leather jackets for men are made with chrome-tanned, drum dyed, plump & spongy hides. You will find this jacket to be very comfortable to wear the moment you first try it on!
Motorcycle jackets need to be as tough as the people wearing them. You will enjoy the benefits of both stain resistance and added protection while riding on your classic motorbike or kicking back with friends at the local pub. Nickel plated brass hardware complete this timeless American made classic that is built to last.
As with all our leather jackets, Schott only uses the best, highest quality leather available. In the same tradition used in the 50's, highly skilled workers hand-cut each panel for the Model 530. In keeping with their original custom style, Schott designed this jacket to fit tighter than most for that classic bold and streamlined look. Offered in sizes XS to 4XL we suggest you check our sizing guide and measurements to determine best fit.
The Schott Model 530 is proudly made in the USA. Our customers know that the quality and construction of our jackets are unparalleled. From the heavyweight thread we use to the strong American hands that do the crafting. We build our leather motorcycle jackets to the same indestructible standards as the old style leather medicine balls. One-hundred plus years of being the best is your assurance that Schott Brothers stands behind every jacket we make.
History:
The Cafe Racer leather jacket design that became mainstream in the 1960's was developed in England. As soldiers were returning home after WWII they caught the bug of souping up older, prewar motorbikes. These motorcycles were raced between local pubs and cafes which created the need for a streamlined, minimalist leather racing jacket. Traveling at times in excess of 100 MPH was a fairly dangerous proposition on the roads that were more like trails at the time. Heavy horsehide and of course a strong main zipper added a certain level of protection for these speed happy daredevils. One would imagine there were wagers made and records set during these early cafe racing days.
Schott Brothers has produced a café racer leather motorcycle jacket since we produced model 666 RS for Beck in 1956. It was called a "Leather Racing Shirt" and cost $28.95 at the time. Schott also marketed our own racing jacket as the model 641XX. In the early days these leather jackets had symmetrical zippered pockets on the chest, an adjustable snap collar strap and zippered sleeve cuffs. As they were worn and abused many examples found today are missing any signs of the original inside linings.
Rooted in tradition, the Schott Model 530 continues this cafe racer style from the 50's. Based on early racer designs the 530 has changed a bit but the overall concept remains the same. Design a tight fitting, no frills mens leather jacket with a cool, refined look. We feel our Café Racer’s accomplished this and make a profound statement. Schott continues production of the classic Café Racer motorcycle jacket style, as always, right here in the U.S.A.
About this leather:
Our medium weight top grain naked, pebbled cowhide is a testament to timeless elegance and rustic charm. Each open pore hide is drum dyed, culminating in a matte finish that speaks to those with an appreciation for understated luxury. The leather undergoes a special tumbling process, enhancing its texture to reveal a pebbled natural grain. This softens the leather without diluting the strength.
Stiffness: Soft
Weight: 2.75-3.25oz
Origin: Argentine Raw Material, Tanned in Argentina, Finished in USA

I SEARCHED LONG AND HARD FOR THIS ONE
I search high and low for the perfect leather jacket, and I finally found it. This jacket looks as good as it feels. It has a slimmer fit, and that was exactly what I was looking for. So many jackets look boxy, and this one has a sleeker shape. The price point is higher than a lot of other options, but this jacket is a proper investment. It will never go out of style. It will just get better with age, and I will no doubt enjoy it for the rest of my life.
LOVE THE JACKET!
I ordered the Cafe Racer Leather Jacket in black. The quality is incredible. In terms of sizing:
My specs: 5'11, 205 lbs, 34 waist (athletic build)
I ordered the XL. It was too big. I ended up going for the large which fits perfectly. The exchange process was really easy.
This is definitely an investment piece and I'm hoping to wear it for the next several years.
THIS IS THE ONE YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
Ordered yesterday. Delivered today. Perfect fit.
Measurements: 5' 09", 170 lb, 34-36" waist, 42" chest, slightly longish arms. Bought the recommended Large, regular fit. Not too loose with just a t-shirt. Definitely room for a shirt, hoodie or thin sweater over the t-shirt. The leather is top quality. Embodies all the badass attitude you expect from a leather motorcycle jacket.
GO BIG OR GO HOME
6’ / 235 / 49” Chest
Luckily I found a 2X at a nearby Nordstroms before ordering, tried it, and it was way tight. Immediately ordered a 3X online. I’m a 2X normally and own a Schott Pea coat and a Schott drivers coat in wool. but this jacket runs small. If you’re anywhere near my size go big. When it arrived it fit perfectly and the quality is well worth the cash. The 3X cost more but at this point it’s fine. If you’re on the fence …push the buy button you will not regret it. Go big or go home!
EXACT AMERICAN PERFECTION
This product is exactly what I was looking for. I had a faux leather jacket that wore out after wearing it every day for years, and finally got to replace that with a real piece of American heritage. This leather feels of absolute quality and I really enjoy the feel. It is a leaner fit for those looking to adjust. I am 6’3 and 195lbs but this fits well for me as a L.
FABULOUS LEATHER JACKET
This is a beautiful leather jacket. I spent months researching a leather jacket to buy and I kept coming back to this one. I finally ordered it and it's everything I had expected. I am 5'9", about 165lbs and 32" waist. Medium is a perfect fit. I can wear a T shirt or sweatshirt if its cold outside. The jacket is a great fit for me. The smell and quality of the leather is great. This jacket will last me for years to come and I couldn't be happier with it. Great jacket Schott!
SCHOTT 530 BROWN
This jacket is just what I wanted. Nice soft heavy weight that doesn’t feel heavy when you have it on. The natural color and grain of the brown jacket is perfect. The zippers feel nice and smooth. I was worried I would have to go up a size after reading some reviews but, I usually wear a large and the large fit me with enough room for a light sweater or thin sweatshirt. 5’8” 170 lbs waist 34 chest 42.
FOLLOW WEBSITE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SIZING
I’m 5’ 10” considered a thin build and arms are a little longer than normal as I am a 35-36 in dress sleeve. I can certainly wear a medium in most things like t-shirts…but based on the size chart it said to order a large and I’m glad I did. And just to let more know I let my 38 year old son who has a slim build at 6’ 4” weighing 208lbs. There’s no way a large would fit him, he would need an extra large. Bottom line if you are on the cusp…go up a size…so basically a large is a great fitting medium with the classic longer motorcycle sleeves so while you are in the riding position the sleeves are long enough to cover your wrists.
And BTW….this is the lifetime leather jacket you’ve been looking for.
QUALITY JACKET
Great fit on day 1, Really nice texture to the leather. Fit is definitely slimmer but still reasonable movement without restriction.
PERFECTION PERSONIFIED
The second you remove the plastic you are greeted with the most delightful smell and your fingers touch soft premium leather - woah. It’s an experience. When you slip this jacket on you know it was handmade and crafted, seemingly just for you - that’s how good the fit is. This has been mentioned constantly by other buyers, but it bears repeating.
I would rate this between medium and heavy weight, so as much as I’d like to, can’t wear it above 75 degrees. It’s got range, too - hoody, collared shirt, and tee - doesn’t matter.
Said simply, it’s perfection personified. Many thanks, Schott.
