Why choose the Schott “257 S” bomber?

We choose this model for its historical authenticity and its unrivaled thermal capacity. Unlike synthetic linings, double-sided sheepskin naturally regulates heat while allowing the body to breathe. The rigorous finishes of the Schott house, in particular the leather strips applied to the seams, reinforce its structure to stand the test of time. It is the bomber jacket par excellence, which gains character as it develops a patina.

Laura’s opinion:

"The detail that makes the difference on this bomber is the textured contrast between the ecru wool and the aged brown leather. For a perfect balance, I recommend wearing it open over a fine knit beige turtleneck sweater and thick raw jeans. It's a character piece with assertive volume: be sure to choose your usual size so that the build remains clear without hindering your movements."

FAQ:

How thermally insulating is this jacket? This garment is designed for harsh winter temperatures. The shearling (or shearling) traps warm air inside while acting as a natural shield against the wind and frost outside.

How to maintain this sheepskin bomber? Shearling leather requires regular waterproofing before the first outings in light rain. If there is a stain, use a soft brush or a specific suede eraser. For complete cleaning, entrust it exclusively to a leather specialist.

Is the jacket rain-resistant? The bomber tolerates a passing shower, but it is not waterproof. If it gets wet, let it dry naturally on a wide hanger, away from any direct heat source (radiator, sun).

How does the Schott "257 S" fit? This model has a traditional straight cut in line with the brand's standards. The dense inner wool tends to adjust and pack slightly after the first few wears to conform to your body shape.

Are the tightening tabs at the collar and waist functional? Yes, the two collar belts allow the jacket to be fully closed up to the chin to block the wind, while the side buckles at the waist allow the base to be tightened to limit air entry cold.
