FAQs
What type of leather is this jacket made from?
The jacket is crafted from 100% genuine cowhide leather.
How should I clean this leather jacket?
It is best to avoid machine washing. For cleaning, consult the care label on the product. Generally, spot cleaning with a slightly damp cloth and using specialized leather cleaners or conditioners is recommended. Professional cleaning is advised for significant stains.
Is the lining made of real leather?
No, the lining is made of 100% nylon for a smooth and comfortable feel.
What does 'Environmentally-certified tanneries' mean?
It means the leather comes from tanneries that have been certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG), indicating they meet standards for environmental performance in areas like energy use, water consumption, and emissions.
How can I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the specific sizing guide for Schott NYC products. Measure your chest, waist, and sleeve length accurately and compare them to the provided chart.
Can this jacket be worn in the rain?
While cowhide leather offers some natural water resistance, this jacket is not waterproof. It can withstand light rain, but prolonged exposure or heavy rain is not recommended. Ensure the leather is properly conditioned to maintain its protective qualities.
What is the benefit of the ribbed cuffs and hem?
The ribbed cuffs and hem provide a snug fit that helps to keep the jacket in place, improve warmth by sealing out drafts, and contribute to a cleaner, more tailored aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff
New leather can be stiff. Wear the jacket regularly to help it break in and mold to your body. You can also use a leather conditioner specifically designed for cowhide, following product instructions carefully.
Minor scuffs or marks on the leather
For light scuffs, try gently rubbing the area with a clean, dry cloth. For more noticeable marks, use a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Jacket does not fit well
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Schott NYC for accurate measurements. If the fit is not ideal, consider exchanging for a different size if available. The product page lists available sizes.
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth can help smooth its operation.
