The stuff of leather jacket dreams turned into a reality. Wake up and smell the nubuck people, ’cause that’s what Schott NYC is offering us with their Mechanic’s Jacket in a Nubuck Cowhide leather.

Designed like a denim or duck canvas work jacket but done up in a Semi Nubuck situation, this thing is as gorgeous as it is classic all while possessing a ‘never been done before’ energy. Fitted with curvey and roomy side entry hand warmer pockets, metal donut shank buttons, and a zip chest pocket with ball-and-chain pull, you won’t know whether to go to the garage for a tune-up or fix your car in the driveway with your bare hands having no prior experience. That is the power of an influential jacket. All made in the USA and closed out with a contrast Goat Leather collar, cotton chambray lining, and a timeless paneled design, we just want to let you know the Lee 191-lb called and all it said before hanging up was”Respect“.

Available for $960 from Franklin & Poe.
