FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for all weather conditions?
This leather jacket is best suited for transitional weather (spring and autumn) or as a stylish layer. It offers protection from wind but is not waterproof and may not provide sufficient warmth for extreme cold without additional layers.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to standard sizing charts for adult apparel and consider the measurements provided on the product page. Leather jackets often have a slightly tailored fit, so consider if you prefer to wear thick layers underneath when selecting your size.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
No, this jacket is made of genuine leather and should never be machine washed or dry-cleaned by standard cleaners. Always follow the specific leather care instructions.
What does LWG certification mean for the leather?
LWG (Leather Working Group) certification indicates that the tannery where the leather was processed meets recognized standards for environmental performance, including energy and water consumption, waste water treatment, and air emissions.
How long will the jacket last?
With proper care and maintenance, a genuine leather jacket like this from Schott NYC can last for many years, often decades, becoming a durable wardrobe staple.
Does the color or texture of the leather vary?
Yes, natural variations in color and texture are characteristic of genuine leather. These variations contribute to the unique appeal of each jacket and do not indicate a defect.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff or dry
Apply a quality leather conditioner according to the product's instructions. This will help restore moisture and flexibility.
Minor scuffs or scratches on the leather
For light scuffs, try gently rubbing the area with a clean, soft cloth. A small amount of leather conditioner or a matching leather balm might also help blend minor marks.
Jacket smells musty
Ensure the jacket is completely dry. Air it out in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. You can place a sachet of baking soda or activated charcoal inside the jacket overnight to absorb odors.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstruction. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant can help improve its movement.
