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 dye-drummed, 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.

U.S.A.
Leather Type, 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! This leather is made with an oil and aniline finish that gives a rustic old look and a soft "hand". As with all of Schott’s high quality leathers, this medium weight cowhide is tanned and processed to provide many years of use without the need for treatments or conditioners.
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 carefully check our sizing diagrams and measurements to determine best fit. Also please note that the absence of underarm footballs combined with Schott’s tighter cut arms make this a slim fitting jacket.
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.

FOR THINNER GUYS.
I'm 5'7" -110 thus finding a jacket small enough to fit me while still being long enough is rather tough. The form fitting cut of this jackets works great for us skinny motorcycle guys that want a jacket that fits and still offers protection.
BEAUTIFUL BUT WEIRD FIT
Smells fantastic, leather feels and looks great. Love the style but the fit is like no other jacket I've ever owned. For starters, I have another cafe racer style street leather jacket that actually is smaller without a bi-swing back at 38 vs this 40 that fits better. I also have a motorcycling specific cafe racer leather jacket with armor made in Europe where they design with a trimmer fit than here and that fits better with a better range of movement also without a bi-swing back. That fits great at the same size medium 40" chest. I am 5'7" 152lbs. with shorter legs, longer torso and arms. I have a fit build for 62 with 39.5" chest and 30-31" waist jeans and no gut. The shoulders on this 530 are small and really restrict movement, the chest is ok but could be bigger, the body below is big and longer than I am used to in this style of jacket. The arms however were seriously long! All the way down creeping past my knuckles. Don't tell me they are cut that way for guys riding with apes 'cause even Schott will tell you this is not a motorcycling jacket. Besides, neither of my 2 motorcycle specific jackets suffer from overly long sleeves and in the riding position there is enough room in the shoulders that the sleeves don't ride up past my wrists and I can move around comfortably without restriction or bi-swing backs. So with this medium 530 cut I can't go bigger without the waist area getting too long and voluminous with the arms even longer and I can't go smaller to make the length and volume of waist, or the length of arms fit better. I opted to have the arms shortened by 1 5/8" for $100 and hope that the shoulders, chest, back area stretches out to fit me better. If this fit the way my motorcycling cafe racer jacket fit I'd have given 5*.
IN LOVE WITH MY JACKET!
Perfect fit and look.
AMAZING!!
Bought the jacket online on 3/25/22 and rcvd it 3/29! Been wanting this jacket since I was kid. Found Schott sized myself online. Perfect fit and the quality is top notch!!
SUPERLATIVE FASHION STATEMENT!
Schott craftsmanship- A rare & unique example of fine work, great care and attention to the details in creating a very standout jacket. Perfect fit, beautiful finish, very comfortable to wear - you don’t want to take it off. Standing in line for brunch, looking at the leather coat in front of me, I wanted to say - “too bad about your coat - you should have bought a Schott!”
FEELS LIKE TAILOR-MADE!
Extra small was a bit too tight around the torso for me (30" waist), so I decided to do a trouble-free exchange for a regular small, and now my new jacket fits as if it was tailor-made. Thanks for everything, Schott...you guys are the best!
SCHOTT 530
This Jacket is Awesome. Quality is USA!
Fit guide is excellent! I ordered a medium and fits like a glove. I’m 5-8 164#. It’s really Neat!
It’s pricey but worth every penny. Looks good with anything……….feels even better!
If I had all the money back from cheap jackets, I could have bought this twice. You get what you pay for.
BEST LEATHER JACKET THAT I HAVE EVER OWNED.
I ordered this after I purchased and received the WAXY LAMBSKIN DELIVERY JACKET. The leather is just as soft and more durable. I am 5’11”, 190 lbs with an athletic build, and the jacket fits perfectly. I was traveling to Chicago last week for a long weekend of fun and delayed my trip by 6 hours waiting for delivery. It was worth the wait, Chicago was cold and windy, and the jacket keep me warm while a walked around the Mag mile shopping. Not to mention, receiving several unsolicited compliments of how nice and what brand jacket. Another winner from Schott NYC.
WOULD BUY AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT!
I was looking for a really nice jacket since my old one was a pretty entry level jacket and wasn't worth maintaining anymore. I found so many options and people online kept raving about Schott so I took a chance and let me tell you, it blew my expectations out of the water. The quality is top tier, the dimensions were spot on (I am 5'10, 190 and it fits like a glove, not too tight but not loose, just enough room). Everything was meticulously cared for. This jacket will likely outlive me. I will be having more business with Schott in the future. The only thing I would change about the jacket is having an inner pocket on both sides. It's only on 1 side. Not a deal breaker, just preference. 10/10
WHAT CAN YOU SAY? IT'S THE BEST.
I'm 5'7, 150lbs, 48yo. Originally bought the 654VN in Medium, but the vintaging process shrinks it down quite a bit and it was just too tight. Exchanged (painlessly) for the 530, also in Medium. The fit is much better, though the sleeves were a bit a long (I know, I know, motorcycle jacket yeah yeah) so I took the bold step of soaking the sleeves in hot water for a minute and then I threw the whole jacket in the dryer with a few dry towels on low heat. And now? It's perfect. Shrunk the sleeves down a bit, left the rest fine, and took some of the waxy 'new' look off of the leather. What you you say? These jackets are expensive, because they're just the best. Thick, perfectly made, just gorgeous. It cost a lot... but I feel like a million bucks every time I pull it on. Just go for it.
