During the late 1990s and early 2000s, Schott continued to evolve its legacy of motorcycle design — blending traditional American toughness with contemporary detailing. The LC BL71 stands out as one of the brand’s most distinctive café racer models, combining full-grain cowhide with striking two-tone contrast panels that elevate the silhouette beyond pure utility.
The leather has a naturally pebbled grain, dense and tactile yet supple to the touch. Finished in deep black with tan detailing across the shoulders, trims, and quilted elbow patches, it reflects both strength and refinement. The hide has aged gracefully, its surface carrying a soft natural sheen and light patina from genuine wear — testament to Schott’s enduring quality rather than fashion distressing.
All the hallmarks of the classic café racer design are here: a clean, minimal front zip, stand collar with twin Schott press studs, and strong, sculpted lines through the body and sleeves. The proportions are balanced — substantial yet sleek — giving the jacket its unmistakable presence both on and off the bike. Inside, the quilted nylon lining offers warmth and structure while maintaining comfort and durability.
Condition is excellent vintage, showing light signs of natural wear with no damage or structural flaws. The lining is intact and clean, all zips and hardware operate smoothly, and the leather remains supple and full of life.
