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.
Features:
26" length Café Racer leather jacket
Full Aniline, drum dyed, hand cut, drummed cowhide leather
Durable nickel plated brass hardware
Cafe Racer style "mandarin" collar with snap closure
Custom embossed "Schott" snap faces
Vintage style open zippered sleeve cuffs with wind flaps

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.

JUST BUY THE DAMN THING!
not much to say other than it makes you feel like a million bucks when you wear it. The weight of the jacket makes you feel secured by the jacket and craftsmanship is unmatched. no doubt in my mind this is a BIFL item. it fits snug and hugs the shoulders beautifully.
Height: 5’ 11”
Weight: 180 athletic build
Size: M
WHAT A JACKET!
I cannot say enough about my first Schott experience, especially with Jerri and Denise. As with most, getting the sizing right was my number one priority and they were so responsive and helpful every step of the way. I am 5’9” and weigh 160-165 lbs. 40” chest and 30-31” waist. I originally purchased a small, wanting a very slim fit, but it was just too small across the shoulders and in the chest area causing the bi-folds to stay extended after lowering my arms and it looked sloppy on me. Moving up to a medium was pretty close to perfect. The jacket still has a very slim appearance and the bi-folds retract into place the way they should. The sleeves are a perfect length and hug my arms from the shoulders down. The return of the small could bot have been any easier and they refunded my money quickly. This is a beautiful jacket, CLEARLY, well made from the moment I removed it from the box. The weight, the feel, and the smell are amazing and everything you would expect from a jacket in this price range!

ROCK SOLID JACKET
The jacket is extremely well made like all other Schott jackets, it is rock solid yet very supple, right out of the box, no break in period at all. The sizing was tight on point, I am 5’8 175 lbs 41 inch chest and the size large fit me like a glove. This jacket will last a lifetime I am very certain, I ordered it in black and waiting for the brown in large to come back into stock so I can order that one too.
HANDSOME
I bought this coat fror my husband’s birthday, it looks wonderful on him. The material is very nice, and I would recommend that to anybody. It’s worth the money!
SOFT AS BUTTER
I owned a Schott motorcycle jacket over 20 years ago so I’m familiar with the company, their history and unequaled quality. I decided I wanted another nice leather jacket but a more casual style. I first ordered a 665 Asset style that was the most beautiful and nicest jacket I’ve ever seen but ended up exchanging it for this 530 model because it was very heavy and stiff and would take a long time to break in. To my delight, this 530 is every bit as nice, soft as butter and the perfect weight - heavy enough but comfortable. For size comparison, I’m 5’ 11” 215 lbs with a 49 inch chest measurement and normally wear a size XL. The measurement chart recommended a 2X so that’s what I ordered and it fits like it was tailor made. I have fairly long arms and normally need a tall size in long sleeve shirts. My only fear in ordering was that the arms might be too short. I was pleasantly surprised that the arms are the perfect length for me. So if your arms are on the shorter side, you may find them a little long. A Schott jacket is not cheap, but it’s a quality investment that will last a lifetime.
COOLEST JACKET EVER
Like many of us, I have been waiting to get this jacket for a while - and got it during Thanksgiving. The quality of the jacket is impeccable. Fit wise, I'd say the recommended size (on the website) worked for me - although I did note that the jacket loosened up a bit after a few wear. Overall very happy with the buy and can tell that it will last for a long time.
MY FAVORITE JACKET
A well-made and well-fitting leather jacket can make you feel like a different person when you wear it. It's a similar effect as putting on a nice suit or a flight suit; you don't just feel different, people treat you differently.
I did a lot of research before I purchased this jacket and I'm glad I did. Every part of this jacket is very high quality from the zippers, to the buckles, to the snaps on the collar. The leather is very supple with no imperfections and feels as good as the day I first put it on (two years ago).
This is also a very tough jacket. I wear this jacket A LOT and in all different weather. I've worn it riding my motorcycle, while shoveling snow, running a forklift for twelve hours a day, and everything in between. With proper maintenance, I have no doubt this jacket will still be in good working order when I give it to my son in 17 years.
FANTASTIC
Bought this beautiful leather jacket for my husband for Christmas in XL. It fit perfect. The leather is absolutely gorgeous and worth every penny to be made in the USA was very important and worth the extra cost. So happy thanks
GREAT PRODUCT!
Excellent quality coat. Loved it, but the fit and style weren't quite right for me. I ended up returning it. I ended up ordering three different coats before I found the one that was perfect for me, and it was exactly what I wanted. Could not be happier. The return process was super easy. No hassle at all even though I did it more than once. No questions asked. Schott got me the exchange super fast on both returns.
