Leather Type, Fit and Construction:
Our classic café racer is a true four season riding jacket. Customer demand has kept this design in constant production for over forty years. We know you will agree that it is our most versatile leather jacket! The Model 141 leather jackets for men are made with U. S. sourced, chrome-tanned, drum dyed, heavyweight naked leather. This hide has a softer "hand" when compared to our steerhide and a matte finish. It is chrome tanned and processed to provide many years of use without the need for treatments or conditioners. Right out of the box this jacket will feel like it was custom made for you.
Schott NYC uses heavyweight naked cowhide to help your leather jacket become your "second skin". Motorcycle jackets need to be as tough as the people wearing them. For wind protection and added warmth the 141 features an inside wind flap under the main zipper, a zip out pile lining and zippered sleeve cuffs. Our bi-swing back panels and under arm footballs ensures that this jacket moves with you eliminating that restrictive feel often found with other leather motorcycle jackets. Nickel plated brass hardware complete this timeless American made classic that is built to last a lifetime.
As with all leather jackets, Schott only uses the best, highest quality leather available. In the same tradition started in the late 1920’s, highly skilled workers hand-cut each panel for the model 141. Available in both regular and long sizes we often suggest this model for our taller customers. Offered in sizes 32 to 54 in regular and 36 to 54 in long we are confident one of these regularly stocked sizes will fit. Schott sells this leather jacket model true to size, if you wear a 42 suit jacket simply order a size 42 and you will even have room for a sweatshirt underneath for those colder days. Of course this is just our best recommendation, as always we suggest you carefully check our sizing diagrams and measurements to determine best fit.
The Schott Model #141 is still proudly made in the U.S.A. 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 141 continues this cafe racer style from the 50's. Based on these early leather motorcycle jacket café racer designs the 141 has changed ever so slightly. We feel our updates have made a legendary design better and even more versatile. Schott continues production of the Café Racer motorcycle jacket style, as always, right here in the U.S.A, with a Schott family member hands on in the factory every single day.
About this leather: Our naked cowhide leather is a premium top grain cowhide that combines comfort and durability. The leather boasts a naturally tight open pore structure that ensures a softer touch and superior comfort. Its weight and warmth are on par with deluxe heavy steerhide. The full aniline, drum dyed process preserves the leather’s texture, enhancing its natural grain with a subtle, semi-matte finish. It is then vacuum dried (instead of toggle dried) that leads to a slightly stiffer result as the fibers are not stretched and softened. The leather is designed to age gracefully and expand its characteristics over time.
Stiffness: Medium
Weight: 3-3.5oz
Origin: US Domestic Raw Material, Tanned in Mexico

HEAVY DUTY
I just bought the 141 Café racer. This jacket is great definitely can be dressed up or down. It is very tough and heavy to understand. Whatever is thrown at it. I went into the store looking for a perfecto jacket but it just didn’t give me the feel the 141 did. You can buy any jacket you want from schott But this is a must have. I was going to buy a size 44, which fit very snug but after watching the video of how this jacket should fit I decide the size up and be more comfortable. I hope that overtime it does not stretch too much to where I regret not buying a 44.
INCREDIBLE JACKET!
I have one other Schott the unlined 582 and I like it a lot. I got it in brown a few years ago and it gets compliments all the time. After a while I was like I’d love a black leather jacket that has a classic look and Americana style but not as heavy motorcycle focus or big collars. This 141 fit the bill perfect. The fit was pretty spot on for me I went true to size as I prefer a standard or even slightly relaxed fit. The leather smells incredible and feels thicker but also not really heavy. I can’t wait to break this in a little more and start seeing the aging happening. It feels like owning a piece of history knowing it’s close to a style and pattern they’ve been making for 60+ years with only minor tweaks but still made in the US, still family run, still having and holding a high quality standard.
I want to wear it all the time but it’s too hot outside right now so I wear it inside when I can to break it in a little. I’m excited for cooler weather to take it out. I took out the liner so it should work great for at least a couple of the slightly warmer months and if it ever gets too cold it’s an easy addition.
MY NEW FAVOURITE JACKET
This jacket looks stunning and feels great. The leather is the best I've seen and not too stiff, super comfortable right out of the box. Overall outstanding quality. I'm 5'10 and 163 lbs and size 40 fits like it was made for me.
Delivery was prompt and with excellent tracking.
THE CLASSIC LEATHER JACKET
I'm not sure why I waited so long to buy Schott jackets, they are nearly perfect. I love my band collar leather jacket, the removable insulation insert makes it more versatile and doesn't make it too tight during the extreme cold.
GORGEOUS
I’m 5’10 190 athletic build. 44 is the perfect fit. Tried 42 and had to return as it was too snug and wouldn’t allow layering without feeling like I was hunching over. Finally satisfied after a series of online returns.
Most important thing is the right fit. Then you can enjoy your coat without hesitation. The leather is top notch as is the quality. Styling is subtle for a motorcycle coat which is what I was seeking. Looking forward to many years of living with this beautiful coat.
THE PERFECT MOTORCYCLE LEATHER
I am a motorcyclist for over 40 years and have always demanded the highest quality out of both my motorcycles and equipment. It’s been about 20 years since I purchased my last leather jacket and it was time for a new style. In doing much research, I narrowed down my search to a Belstaff and Schott. I chose the Schott 141 Cafe Racer for many reasons with the top one being the Outstanding quality of the jacket and the fit. I love the thick leather, the removable liner, which helps make this an all season jacket Most importantly was the comfortable fit where I found Schotts Sizing recommendations were spot on. I am 5‘10“ 200 pounds muscular build and a size 44 fit perfectly. As great as the 141 looks and feels it also felt great while on my cruiser and sport touring bike. The sleeves are a perfect length for reaching the bars too. What’s really cool about this jacket as you do not have to be a motorcyclist to enjoy it as the style looks really cool on or off a motorcycle Added BIG bonus was the fact that the company is still run by the Schott family , headquartered in New York City and made right here in the USA 🇺🇸. I highly recommend this jacket
TOP SHELF JACKET!
I’ve had my Schott racer for over 30 yrs!..Doesn’t get any better than these!
NICE!
Nicest jacket I ever owned hands down. 5' 10 190 Lbs. I purchased a size 42 and it fits snug but is starting to loosen up. I had first tried a 44 and it fit well but was a little boxy around the stomach so I called customer service and we decided on the 42, especially since I ride a motorcycle. Apparently you don't want a loose jacket during rides that could shift in a crash. Also, I just felt the 42 is more form fitting and looks better on me. Honestly though they both looked great.
Not sure how much layering I can do with this until it works itself in. Of course I've been wearing it 24/7 just to do that :-).
Quality product, good customer service and should last you a lifetime. Not saying anything anyone else has already said. Enjoy.
FITS LIKE A GLOVE
This is my first leather jacket ever and it feels great even if I’ve only had it for a few hours now. It’s hefty to pick up but when I’m wearing it, I don’t even notice it/it doesn’t weigh me down. Build quality feels amazing and like it’ll last forever.
SWEET
I’m 73 too Bad I didn’t buy this 50yrs ago, it would be broken in real nice by now lol. This is a real nice Leather jacket, I’ll wear it all winter long. I'm impressed by Quality of this Leather. Go Easy
