'50s Cowhide Leather Moto Jacket

You're just not cool and/or confident enough to pull it off.

This jacket is absolute perfecto! It's not mentioned on Nordstrom's website, but worth pointing out: This jacket is Schott's style #519 (see schottnyc.com). Sizing is true. I wear medium for most brands and clothing (dress shirts, tshirts, jackets, et al) and the medium in this style fits perfectly. There is room for layering a t shirt and a hoodie without feeling constricted. Pull the trigger - you will not be disappointed!

This jacket takes me back to Sun Valley Jr. High, 1989. I was so lucky enough to get a Schott jacket for my 15th birthday! I was the only one in my school to wear one and all the girls wanted me to let them wear it. I was forever known by my peers as “Booker” from the TV show with Richard Grieco. I have since parted with that jacket and have been dying to get my hands on a new one again. I’m currently 5’8” and weigh about 175lbs. I’ve been eyeing this jacket as the 519 on the Schott NYC website for years. This year I took advantage of Nordstrom’s sale with $200 off and I totally went for it. These jackets very rarely go for less anywhere new. I originally went for an XL because of my 44inch chest measurements, but wasn’t satisfied with the big bulky feel. I maintain a V shape figure so I went for a Large and couldn’t be any happier. There is still room for a sweater and can still use the zipper. I live in Los Angeles and don’t think I’d wear more than a T-shirt underneath. Leather treatment feels amazing! Buttery feel on steer hide! You can’t go wrong. You get durability and luxury softness in one. I would highly recommend this classic leather jacket to everyone with a “Rebel” spirit for sure! This screams Americana for all the ages. Thank you Nordstrom for making this possible for me!

Ordered 2 of these. They both had the same issue underneath the left arm, in the armpit area there’s a piece of material that sticks out and rubs against your armpit area, it’s hurts your arm and it’s annoying to wear. This is an issue that every cheap denim jacket has so I did not expect to find the same issue on this VERY expensive jacket!!!!. If you do order this jacket or ANY jacket remember to check the left arm and swing your arm many times over to see if the issue is there. Most of denim and leather jackets do. Even if it’s barley noticeable over time it will become more noticeable until it hurts your arm. Also the leather on this jacket is not as shiny, doesn’t look the same or feel the same as a older 519 I have tried . I think schott quality has gone down very much

I like this jacket so much I bought a second one in black. It is well made and reminds of the one I had when I was a kid. This was on my bucket list. The quality is beyond my expectations well made in every way. I love it.

This jacket is everything, very stylish. Nice thick leather, worth every penny.

I purchased this jacket in black and I love it. So I also ordered in brown and I couldn’t be happier. Great quality and if feels that I have been wearing it for years.

This leather Moto jacket is a genuine classic look you can never go wrong with. The leather Schott uses is made of the highest quality. I have tried on many faux leather and purchased other Brands leather jackets and this Schott jacket is by far the best. This is the reason Schott jackets are timeless. For decades celebrity’s and Rock Stars wear these jackets. As far as sizing I purchased an XL and was worried that it might be too big & loose, I was wrong the fit is snug and perfect. I plan on wearing this jacket to all the Heavy Metal concerts I will be attending in 2019. This jacket will keep warm at all the concerts in open air venues such as the Rose Bowl (Rolling Stones) , Hollywood Bowl (Ozzy) , Banc of California Stadium (Iron Maiden) and Five Points Amphitheater (Judas Priest). While keeping me cool at the indoor venues (The Forum) Up The Irons

I wanted to purchase this jacket but was unsure about sizing. I wrote Shott on their website and told them my measurements. Even though some reviewers say go small, I went with my normal XL size after receiving Shott's recommendation. It came today and it fits perfectly! This is the ultimate motorcycle jacket for fashion wear and on the bike. Do not order from anyone else! This is class personified!

I've purchased quite a few leather jackets in my day, but this is superior by far. First this jacket is made in the USA. Let's be honest, u don't see that label everyday on clothing. Schott is the originator of leather jackets. There are a plethora of imitators making this Moto Jacket. Many are high-end fashion houses, with a much higher price tag. But trust me, the fabrics are subpar to Schott. The feel of the leather is like butter, pure fineness! From the adjustable waist belt with Nickel-plated brass hardware, to the fully lined diamond-quilted body, you can tell this company really cares about the details. The jacket is mostly handmade. And is truly a unique piece of craftsmanship. Can't wait to purchase my next Schott.

Very nice jacket. Nice leather. Nice design. Except for the belt. It ruins the jacket. It’s not practical nor flattering.

It’s a beautiful jacket no doubt but the belt around the waistline that wasn’t removable was super annoying. In about a month, the parts of the belt that was attached to the jacket started to wear off. The buckles on the belt also made a noise similar to a cow bell every time you walked around. Such a small design feature with a huge flaw - I returned the jacket.
