Style Pick of the Week: Schott NYC Lambskin Leather Jacket – An All-Time Classic

I’ve said it before on this blog and I’ll say it again: The classics are the classics for a reason, especially if they’re made by a retailer with a steadfast commitment to timeless style, quality craftsmanship and investment-worthy appeal.

Those are three very high benchmarks to clear when it comes to menswear essentials, but in my experience, Schott NYC consistently clears those benchmarks, and then some.

And you can be sure that if a company has made waves for its emphasis on tradition, style and quality, then its wares are likely sold by Huckberry. Consider ourselves two-for-two as we dive into the first weekly Style Pick of 2025, since the Schott Leather Delivery Jacket is a surefire winner for supremely cool, durable style this season (and beyond, of course).

In short, you can always count on Huckberry, and you can always count on Schott — that holds true for its famously durable moto jackets as much as less-heralded (yet no less stylish) pieces like the Schott Leather Delivery Jacket. Thick, rich lambskin leather and USA-made craftsmanship bolsters this road-ready leather jacket, which is accented by a bi-swing back to give you ease of movement on and off the highway (or reaching for a cold beer at your favorite dive bar).

The black leather of the Schott Leather Delivery Jacket is timeless and tasteful, with a cut that hits above the hip and a collar that can be flipped up to block the wind. In my experience, Schott hardware is also ultra-durable, and that should hold true with this antique-style hardware in particular. As Huckberry calls it, this handsome piece represents the “original delivery man’s jacket reimagined for everyday wear.”

And if you ask me, this piece offers a sense of effortless cool and the knowledge that — yes, for close to $1K — you’re getting a jacket made for life, the kind of piece you should be proud to hang in your closet (and wear as often as possible).

The Thursday Buy: This Schott Plaid Flannel Shirt is an All-Time Classic for the Holidays (and Beyond)

Here at your favorite Brooklyn style blog, we talk often about brands you can trust, brands you can rely on to craft some of the best men’s style essentials in virtually any situation. And at a time when the chaos of the holiday season reaches a fever pitch, shouldn’t it be dressing simply and stylishly that helps you cut through the clutter?

It might seem like a tall task, but for affairs both casually stylish and rugged, one of the best flannel shirts for men — one sold by Huckberry, no less — seems to fit the bill quite nicely.

And back to brands you can trust and rely on: Today’s featured pick comes from legendary outerwear purveyors Schott NYC, a company that continues to blend rugged moto heritage with a classic outlook, resulting in tasteful selections like the Schott Cotton Plaid Flannel Shirt.

Just your average flannel shirt, this is decidedly not — as with all things Schott, like one of the best leather moto jackets on the market (a personal favorite and an icon in its own right, at least in my experience).

Best flannel shirts for men.

It’s part of a selection of gifts from Huckberry that run the gamut, especially when it comes to buying gifts for guys who are impossible to shop for (I myself feel this way about my own taste!).

And yet, the Schott Cotton Plaid Flannel Shirt veers just slightly from the norm in terms of the best men’s flannel shirts, with details like an eye-catching plaid color scheme in a distinct combo, plus more classic flannel shirt touches, like front button chest pockets.

The Schott Cotton Plaid Flannel Shirt is modeled after iconic flannel shirts from decades past, with the sort of wear-with-anything adaptability that should pair nicely with everything from a Schott moto jacket to a more casual winter wool blazer in a solid color.

Style Pick of the Week: Bespoke Post x Schott NYC Leather Rancher Jacket – Back & Better than Ever

Bespoke Post x Schott NYC Leather Jacket.

Some menswear collaborations, even some of the best menswear partnerships, are so rare that they tend to flash in the pan and never return, arriving for one season and then being whisked away on the wind.

That might seem like hyperbole when it comes to the best menswear essentials, especially ones sold by Bespoke Post, but sometimes, it just so happens to be true — and yet, that’s not the case with the return of the Bespoke Post x Schott NYC Roughout Leather Rancher Jacket. It takes inspiration from 1930s service jackets, and only gets better from there.

As you might recall, Schott and Bespoke Post teamed up last year on the perfect jacket for fall, and a new edition of one of the best leather jackets for men returns just in time for “shoulder season.” The Bespoke Post x Schott NYC Roughout Leather Rancher Jacket hits the mark perfectly in terms of an heirloom leather jacket for men, to say the very least.

And as you might expect, it was made specifically for the acclaimed retailer (also a purveyor of some of the best subscription boxes for men, as you know if you read this Brooklyn style blog).

The Bespoke Post x Schott NYC Roughout Leather Rancher Jacket is American-made from rich roughout leather, the kind with standout texture and durability — a hallmark for decades with Schott, which routinely makes some of the best moto jackets on the market. Antique copper hardware adorns this handsome jacket, which also boasts a chest zipper pocket and handy side hip pockets to store everyday carry essentials aplenty.

The rugged Bespoke Post x Schott NYC Roughout Leather Rancher Jacket, at least in this year’s new release, boasts a durable contrasting leather collar and a rich, hard-wearing construction, the kind that should feel relatively supple out of the box while breaking in wonderfully over time.

Shop men’s jackets and more at Bespoke Post

And at the splurge-worthy price of $825, it’s a safe bet that you’ll want to get plenty of wear out of your new favorite leather jacket — particularly atop fall style classics like a rugged henley and expertly faded blue jeans.

It’s hard to find one iteration of an iconic leather jacket in a special collaborative build, much less a second edition, but the Bespoke Post x Schott NYC Roughout Leather Rancher Jacket lives up to its billing and then some — find your size while it’s still around, and then proceed to wear it in casually rugged fashion as often as yo ucan.

Bespoke Post x Schott NYC leather jacket.

If you’ve been feeling like menswear these days isn’t quite as well-made as in years past, you might want to pay close attention to what Bespoke Post and Schott NYC have been dreaming up, because it just might knock your socks off. In short, it’s a revamped take on an old-school classic, and yes, it’s one of the best leather jackets for fall.

I know that’s a bold proclamation, but you can certainly trust what Bespoke Post is working on and standing by proudly as one of the best online menswear brands out there. Still with me? Let’s dive on into one of the best jackets for fall, period.

The Schott NYC x Bespoke Post Roughout Leather Rancher Jacket distills the famed Schott brand’s heritage expertly into one truly standout fall and winter jacket. It might seem too good to be true (and sadly, it’s only up for pre-order right now!), but the specs and handsome, rugged design are indeed more than up to par.

Bespoke Post x Schott NYC leather jacket

It’s almost hard to keep track of all of the standout specs that make up the Schott NYC x Bespoke Post Roughout Leather Rancher Jacket, but it starts with soft yet hard-wearing roughout leather that molds to your body with each wear (according to Bespoke Post and Schott, that is). They’ve topped off this rugged jacket with handsome Tobacco leather on the collar for an eye-catching finishing touch, and a zip chest pocket adds some utility (as do hip handwarmer pockets).

Best of all is the fact that the frankly incredible Schott NYC x Bespoke Post Roughout Leather Rancher Jacket is inspired by classic 1930s Schott service jackets, which is the kind of history most brands can’t quite lean on, to say the least.

The Schott NYC x Bespoke Post Roughout Leather Rancher Jacket, although an investment at a pre-order price of $749 right now, is made to handle business, get better with wear and deliver expert fall style — and it’ll ship out to you early next month. That’s a jacket worth securing, at least in my book. Go forth in style, my friends!

Style Pick of the Week: Schott NYC Wool-Blend Cardigan

Schott NYC Wool-Blend Cardigan

One of the best men’s cardigans you can layer up with all winter long.

As chilly weather really starts to roll through in earnest, one thing is pretty clear (at least to this Brooklyn style writer) — you need the right layers for winter weather, and to be more specific, you need one of the best men’s cardigans for the ultimate in warmth and quality layering. Luckily, I’ve got just the ticket in today’s Style Pick of the Week, and that would be the Schott NYC Wool-Blend Cardigan as shown above, a classic and rugged cardigan from the makers of some of the best leather jackets on the planet. It’s a fitting addition to your wardrobe and to the Schott line of utterly classic, reliable menswear, and it could even be a standout gift for the style enthusiast in your life this year, too. This is the kind of rugged cardigan you can wear on the daily, but especially on chilly winter mornings as you stoke the fire and brew another pot of coffee. It’s got the sort of old-school appeal that looks great with darn near anything, too (more on that in a second). And because it’s sold by Huckberry, you can be sure it’s one of the best sweaters for men this season, seeing as only the best of the best passes muster at Huckberry.

Milled in Scotland for a lifetime of wear.

Schott NYC Wool-Blend Cardigan

High-quality fabric and durable details that make a difference this season.

Needless to say, the Schott NYC Wool-Blend Cardigan has plenty going for it, including a wool-nylon fabric blend for durability and ease of layering atop a rugged chambray shirt or a flannel shirt. I’d say you can call that “not missing a beat” when it comes to incorporating this shawl collar cardigan into your sweater rotation. Plus, the shawl collar design itself provides added protection from the elements and makes this a nice choice to layer underneath, say, a waxed field jacket. On its own back at home, it’ll wear equally well with tailored joggers and your favorite henley for cozy winter weekend style, and yet, the Schott NYC Wool-Blend Cardigan is going to be at its best when worn with classic dark blue denim and rugged brown leather work boots. Suffice to say, I’d wager you’ve just found your new favorite winter sweater, and it’s more than ideal that it’s available for well under $200 at Huckberry. If you do end up picking this one up, be sure to let me know on Twitter. Cheers to winter layers, and thanks for reading!

#OOTD: How to Wear a Leather Jacket for Fall — Anywhere

It’s here: Your finest hour, the best season of the year in menswear, and as great a time as any to dive into how to wear your leather jacket this season. The jacket in question, as you’ll see, is as recognizable a menswear classic as any: The Schott NYC Cafe Racer Jacket, which should prove incredibly easy to wear just about, well, anywhere this fall season. Heck, when you invest in one of the best leather jackets for men, you’ve got no excuse when it comes to making it work for you in plenty of style situations, as different as the world out there might still be. I’m thinking you can wear this rugged Schott leather jacket on a socially distanced road trip, on a day getaway to a  quiet lakefront, coastal or country town, or just zipping around back home stocking up on coffee, beer and the best whiskey for fall — in style, naturally.

When it comes to rugged-yet-classic style, you’ll find an  ever-versatile supporting cast, from one of the best denim shirts for men to one of the coolest men’s T-shirts, all helped along by some tough adventure boots and naturally, useful accessories like stylish Bluetooth headphones. Now, if that doesn’t get you in the spirit of fall style and fall layering, I’m not sure what will. To see how I’m dressing this fall, be sure to give me a follow on Instagram. 

How to wear a leather jacket

A classic black leather jacket, paired up with the coolest style essentials around.

See, didn’t I tell you this look was going to be great — and perfectly suited for fall? Kicking off an #OOTD with something as iconic as the Schott NYC Cafe Racer Jacket is a bold move that’ll actually pay dividends (especially when you can wear this cool black leather jacket to events in the future, like a real, live rock concert when the time comes). I’m certainly all for layering up this Schott leather jacket with the kind of useful picks that’ll bring you a lot of mileage this season, from your favorite denim shirt to a retro graphic tee and a pair of slim black denim for versatility in fall style and adventures aplenty.

Speaking of adventures, your Blundstone boots are a reliable and dependable style move this season, and they work in expert fashion alongside underrated accessories — take a  rugged field watch and one of the best leather belts for men, for starters. If you ask me, the most stylish way to stay warm in the fall chill is with a new Huckberry Beanie, and for road trips and park strolls aplenty, you should snag some of the best Bluetooth headphones for listening to your favorite music in style. What’s the ultimate pièce de résistance, though? Why, none other than Woodford Reserve Bourbon for rich fall cocktails and pleasingly refined fall sipping, folks (A reminder that Drizly can deliver it right to your door). A perfect fall #OOTD should work in harmony at each and every level, and that’s what this look does — all thanks to the Schott NYC Cafe Racer Jacket. Let me know in the comments below or on Twitter if you end up picking up this look.

#OOTD: Here’s How to Wear a Leather Jacket This Fall

Quick, what’s the most classic piece of outerwear you can think of? If it doesn’t come to mind right away, perhaps a Schott NYC leather jacket isn’t very far down your list — and it’s the rugged jacket that’ll serve as the centerpiece of today’s #OOTD, to boot. The right leather jacket can serve as more than a thin outer layer — it can add some serious durability, toughness and sleek style to any fall-centric look or occasion (especially if that occasion involves a rock concert or a weekend whiskey bar outing). So, we’ll kick things off with one of the best leather jackets you can possibly buy, and we’ll layer it up with all the right fall style essentials you can possibly shake a stick at. As you’ll see, a rugged flannel shirt adds a bit of grunge-inspired style (sorry, had to go there!), while an organic cotton henley adds even more warmth and fall-ready durability. Naturally, if you’re going for edgy and rock-inspired style, you could do worse than stepping out in some black Chelsea boots. The key thing to keep in mind is that you’re going to get a ton of use out of this investment-worthy leather jacket, and that makes it a reliable option even on a work day aside from this #OOTD (yes, paired with a white Oxford shirt and slim back chinos). With all of that being said, I’ll leave you to check out the rest of this fall-ready ensemble.

A sleek and classic leather jacket, matched up with the right fall style essentials.

  • The Leather Jacket: Schott NYC Lightweight Motorcycle Jacket, $750 — Fall is a  surprisingly great time to wear one of the best leather jackets on the planet — go figure! This Schott NYC leather jacket is an investment-worthy icon.
  • The Flannel Shirt: Knowledge Cotton Checked Flannel Shirt, $145 — Pairing up a rugged flannel shirt with a classic leather jacket is a timeless style move for fall — get this perfect flannel shirt to get started.
  • The Henley: Flint and Tinder Organic Slub Henley, $62 — Keep things simple, subtly stylish and rugged with this organic cotton henley from Flint and Tinder — ideal for a fall night out.
  • The Denim: Flint and Tinder Defender Denim (Slim Fit), $138 — Slim dark blue jeans are a highly effective, classic pairing with one of the best leather jackets for early fall — no questions asked. And this pair of raw denim only gets better with age.
  • The Watch: Lum-Tec M82 Automatic Watch, $875 — A tough leather watch is the only way to go with the rest of this outfit’s gear picks. Lum-Tec comes through in the clutch, no doubt about it.
  • The Boots: Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chelsea Boots, $240 — Is it a no-brainer to wear tough black Chelsea boots from Red Wing Heritage with a rugged flannel shirt and a classic leather jacket? Yes, perhaps. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it.
  • The Socks: Burlix Moving Mid-Calf Socks, $15 — Your search for the best men’s socks might just be over. I’ve had the pleasure of testing Burlix socks over these past few weeks, and they provide plenty of comfort & shock absorption with rugged boots.
  • The Grooming Essentials: Living KOA Full Grooming Set, $79 — If you’re investing in the best when it comes to your classic leather jacket and slim denim, you might as well invest in your skincare on all fronts. The Full Grooming Set shown here makes it very easy to do that.

As one would expect, the difference here is in the details — and namely, the difference comes right at the start of this rugged fall ensemble, led off by one of the best leather jackets in the world. Yes, the world! It’s the perfect foil to perhaps the perfect flannel shirt, blending edgy and classic style seamlessly. From the brewery to a rock concert to the dive bar, this look has you covered. Heck, when you pair things up with an organic cotton henley from Flint and Tinder, you’ve got prime fall style on lock — and we haven’t even talked about the inky blue, raw denim you’re going to be wearing to complement this look. And to that end, you’d do well to step out in equally fitting black Chelsea boots from Red Wing Heritage— together, this combination has roots in the past and yet, remains perfectly modern at the same time. All of this is to say, you’ve unlocked unbeatable weekend style now. And while you might not think of a tough leather watch as being essential to this outfit, rest assured that it is (the difference lies in the details, after all). And on that front, Lum-Tec has you covered. Of course, a great fall #OOTD is nothing without grooming essentials to keep your skin sharp — and the best men’s socks on the market offer plenty of comfort when worn with tough Red Wing Heritage boots. It all comes together quite nicely, wouldn’t you say? No doubt about it. Good luck out there, folks — cheers!

Style Pick of the Week: Schott NYC Vintage Fitted Motorcycle Jacket

An iconic jacket you need to add to your cart — or your wish list.

Ladies and gentleman, today’s Style Pick of the Week is instantly covetable, highly classic and vying for the top spot on your list of your favorite menswear for any time of year, all at once. It’s the Schott NYC Vintage Fitted Motorcycle Jacket (also known as the Schott Perfecto), and it’s the best leather jacket your money can buy. The even better news? It’s now being sold by your favorite online retailer, Huckberry (they are your favorite, right?). But more on all that in a moment. The Schott Perfecto is a timeless style staple with a reputation that precedes itself, one that dates back decades. You’ve seen this jacket immortalized onscreen by Marlon Brandon and James Dean, and you’ve perhaps seen the classic Schott Perfecto in more recent years on The Killers’ Brandon Flowers (where I first spotted it years ago). In short, it’s an unimpeachable jacket you’ll be very glad you bought heading into fall. And if you’ve been thinking about dipping your toes into the waters of the coveted, badass leather moto jacket, there’s no better purchase to pick up right now (for a price, mind you) than this Schott Vintage Motorcycle Jacket. What sets this iconic jacket apart from the pack? The list is long and varied, my friends.

SHOP: The Schott Perfecto Jacket

The difference comes down to the details — and the details of the Schott Perfecto are simply legendary.

For one, the iconic Schott Perfecto is so named because of the rich, tough-as-nails cowhide Perfecto leather, the kind of leather that’ll adhere to your movements and wearing patterns over time — exactly as the legends who wore this jacket knew so well. It’s all done up in a truly badass and road-ready biker jacket silhouette, with the sort of pedigree and construction that allows one to actually wear it when riding a motorcycle. And if that’s not your thing, the Schott Perfecto adds some seriously cool style to your ensemble, no matter where you take it.  At a rock concert with a classic chambray shirt and slim black denim? This leather moto jacket is your best friend. Heading out for a fall Old Fashioned on a chilly night? Wear this thing over a thermal henley for easygoing-yet-cool style — the 100 percent cotton flannel lining (in a fitting red plaid) adds some warmth for the season. The nickel-plated brass hardware and custom “SCHOTT” snaps are all one-of-a-kind, too. This jacket is built to last for years to come, so it’s absolutely worth the investment. Fear not, because if there’s one thing I can guarantee, it’s that you’re going to wear the heck of out the Schott NYC Vintage Fitted Motorcycle Jacket — year after year after year.
