Vintaged Cowhide Café Racer Leather Jacket

Simple meets supple in this modern, lightweight café racer jacket. Cut from buttery soft, broken-in cowhide leather, this 25” vintaged jacket keeps it minimal with a front zip closure and zippers at cuffs and side pockets. Inside you’ll find a silky polyester twill lining and a hidden pocket. The classic timelessness of this motorcycle jacket makes it an ideal pair to a basic tee or lightweight button-up shirt. Available in black or brown. Union made in the USA.

CLASSIC JACKET AND AMERICAN CRAFTSMANSHIP AND HERITAGE

Published: Fri, 5/19/2023 by Oggie Sokolovic

When I was deciding which size to purchase - I read every single review, to support Schott sizing recommendations. It helped a little, but ultimately I still had to return 2 jackets, to get the right one back. I am 6' 200 pounds with 41" chest. My upper body is balanced with legs, jeans size being 34 slim, with 31 inseam. Suit jacket: 42R slim cut. This jacket in XL fit perfectly even if it left a bit more room in the gut area, but not too much. Love the vintage look. Quality craftsmanship through and through. Love the heritage of this brand and it adds another dimension to owning this piece. Usually, when I find the jacket that fits me well - the sleeves are a bit longer than i'd like. Not on this one.

I liked it so much, that I went to purchase another model for 2-3 season wear, including summer. Review of this jacket will be posted under that particular model.

Warmly recommended - excellent value for the price

PERFECT JACKET

This my third Schott jacket which is 654VN 2XL in Dark Brown, it is a great fit and soft leather. The delivery is indeed very fast got it after 3 days only from US to HK.
I'm a 6'0" tall and 265 lbs, My first Schott jacket is model 618 & second Jackets is 519 all in size 2XL. They are all perfectly fit my body build.
Schott got the best quality made and best workmanship of jackets ever made, worth the price. They last for long years even your grandson would enjoy them for sure.

SOLID

Solid, well made, runs small as I am only 5'8" and 145lb and a large is just big enough. Takes a good bit of break in despite it being "vintaged". Simple and clean design is appealing. Not too much metal. Hefty feel so I would not call it lightweight.

This jacket is exactly what I was looking for. The leather is excellent. Beautiful finish and not shiny. It takes about six to ten hours of wear to full break in. It's a slimmer fit. I am 6' 2" and weigh 175 lbs (slim but not skinny). I usually wear a medium in just about everything, but the large fit perfectly. You might need to size up for the 654Vn. It's not too heavy. I live in a warmer climate (rarely gets below 40 degrees), and I will wear it for three seasons (not summer).

Plain and simple right? You are on this website cause you know it’s quality. You’re looking at this jacket cause you know, even though it’s s a lot of money. It’s going to probably be enjoyed by some one you pass it down to. It’s built that well. If you’re looking for a slim fit, size down a size. But keep in mind, it’s going to be a labor of love breaking it in

WONDERFUL JACKET

Published: Mon, 8/2/2021 by Eric

Got this jacket last week. It is my second Schott jacket. Very minimalistic and sleek. Have it in the brown color. Is a bit tighter than my other Schott despite same size, which is in keeping with reviews. But think the streamline fit looks good with this style. I am 6‘0“, 175 lbs with 40 inch chest. Is good with t-Shirt or a button up, but not able to wear sweater (but with this style wouldn’t want to anyway) Any tighter and would for sure go up to large. Definitely looking forward to some cooler weather to wear it. Have my eye on the 2B3 now for the winter.

GORGEOUS JACKET

Got it in brown, wonderful colors and feel of the leather. Not as stiff or as heavy as I was expecting. Nice lining too.

I've tried on multiple brands while looking for a leather jacket and could immediately tell the difference in quality when I tried on a Schott. It fits great, looks even better and now I cant wait to get another one!

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE QUALITY!

This jacket is exactly what I was looking for. The Schott quality is as good as it gets. Timeless style that looks way cooler when you put it on than the dorky model on the website wears it. This is the classic cafe racer jacket you want. I would recommend up-sizing one size bigger than they list on their size chart unless you have a really small frame or narrow shoulders. I'm 6'1" and needed to swap up to an XL after the website recommended Large. The waist length is fairly short compared to most normal jackets so it feels sort of weird at first but it's right for a leather. Overall you're going to be stoked if you get this jacket!

BEST JACKET!!

I’ve been on a search for an awesome leather jacket for quite a while. My search is finally over. This jacket is perfect for me on many aspects: Toughness, cut and look. It’s pricier than some but 100% worth it.
