"The Bikeriders" Vandals Motorcycle Jacket

$1,320 USD

After contributing several jackets for the 2024 film The Bikeriders, we were tasked with recreating the vintage D-Pocket piece worn by Johnny (played by Tom Hardy). The 568 is a midweight cowhide asymmetrical jacket similar in feel to the 519, but with decorative details like the studded kidney back, and western style back yokes. With an open belt loop, you can thread your own, or opt for our BLTV style made specifically for this jacket. As a thinner midweight option for riders, this jacket performs great in warmer climates offering wind protection and moderate road-rash protection.

The 568 is proudly Made In The USA at our factory in Union, New Jersey.

Overview

the "Vandals" Perfecto jacket is a reinterpretation of the vintage jacket worn in the movie The Bikeriders.

The jacket has a back length of 24 inches, which is authentic to the period. We added an iridescent burgundy rainglow lining which is a nod to the red linings of the time. The D-pocket configuration is featured in our first Perfecto motorcycle jacket designed by Irving Schott in 1928.

    About this leather: Our medium weight top grain naked, pebbled cowhide is a testament to timeless elegance and rustic charm. Each open pore hide is drum dyed, culminating in a matte finish that speaks to those with an appreciation for understated luxury. The leather undergoes a special tumbling process, enhancing its texture to reveal a pebbled natural grain. This softens the leather without diluting the strength.

Great made in USA quality and workmanship. This garment is beautifully made, I love it. For me, the star of the show is the character of the leather, soft and supple and beautifully finished. I am fully satisfied. Many thanks to team Schott.

Piece of History

Have to admit I wasn't aware of this model until I watched "The Bikeriders" and saw photos in "Vandals: The Photography of The Bikeriders" I have an old 125 and a newer 118 so it took me a while to decide I needed to take a ride to NYC to check it out. The store is amazing! I'm 5'9" and 160 lbs. This 568 "Vandals" in large is a perfect fit. The pebbled cowhide is amazing. Being a different style and a different type of leather made it a must have. The early Black Friday sale price made it even better. I wore it all the way back to Philly and I don't want to take it off...

Leather reminiscent of the 519

This gorgeous Vandals jacket is very reminiscent of my first Schott jacket some years ago, the 519.

The waxy pebbled cowhide is so gorgeous and feels so wonderful to the touch.

It's a totally different experience from the steerhide 613 or even the naked cowhide 118 but very much worth it as its own vibe.

Regarding the recommended belt. I am about 6 ft tall about 175 lb 41 inch chest and 36 in waist. The recommended size 40 belt would have been way too big. I instinctively purchased the 38 and I am on the last hole or the second to last hole depending on what I've eaten that day.

This jacket is a piece of artwork that will take you way back to a different time and a whole different attitude. I love it.

Also I have to mention the awesomeness of Denise as she helped through the transaction including an exchange from a large to a medium seamlessly.

Glad to add this jacket to my stable of Schott NYC jackets!

The bikeriders movie brought me here

Didn’t know about this company until I saw and researched the movie. It’s true, you get what you pay for. Ordered online and was nervous cause it’s hit or miss when it comes to sizing with me. Well it fit true to size. First thing I noticed was how soft the leather is and how it almost immediately hugs your body for a snug but comfortable fit. Very happy it didn’t look bulky as well. Can’t wait to hop on a bike and get the full vibe of this beautiful jacket. I’ll be visiting the LA store soon for the belt(Bltv as suggested) to complete the jacket.

James Dean would approve !

This jacket Feels amazing right out of the box...buttery soft, and the fit is as though it was custom measured for me. The look of the jacket reminds me of Buco J-series horsehide jackets from the 50's...Adding the optional Horween belt only reinforces the bad-ass vibe of this jacket. If there was one thing I'd change It would be the leather itself...would love this jacket in a heavy stiff horsehide. If Schott does that, I will buy the first one !! Other than that minor kvetch, I think this is a great addition to the collection.

Perfect Jacket For Me

Weight makes it comfortable to wear and not a burden. Very nicely styled with D pocket which is handy for concealed carry and curved yoke on the back with extra rivets on lower back. Nice satin lining and zippers are conveniently located on top of the sleeves. Great pebbled texture and smell.

Comfortable Beautiful Jacket

My Vandals jacket has arrived and it's gorgeous, just the right weight and fits nicely. It's different from my Perfecto so it's adds to my wardrobe rather than duplicating something that I already have. Online customer service was helpful in making my decision to buy.

Another masterpiece

Another awesome jacket by Jason and his incredible team at Schott! My second jacket this year, and I'm again blown away by the quality, fit, shipping and communication from this team. I went with Large per the sizing calculator, and it's a great fit. I may have the sleeves shortened a little because i don't ride anymore, and simply do not need the extra length. If you are on the fence, go for it. You will not be disappointed.

I feel like a badass!

So i got hooked on the BikeRiders movie a few months ago. Watched it many times thinking, I need a jacket like those guys. After all, I’m a rider myself. So I watched some YouTube videos on best biker style jackets and found you guys. Never heard of Schott NYC before. After further research, I read your company supplied some of the jackets for the movie; great, now I really want one! I jump on your website and see the Vandal edition!! Whoa! I need this jacket! I didn’t even need to grab the wallet; PayPal it is! After some sizing issues and great customer service and extremely fast shipping, i finally get to rock this baby out in the public. The compliments were non stop! Smells great, feels great, fits awesome! I’m super happy! Hell, i may order a 2nd one just to have a perfect one 20 years later lol. Thanks Schott NYC for making this gem.

Five stars!

I have wanted a Schott leather jacket since the early 80's when I was going to Punk shows in So. Cal. I finally pulled the trigger and ordered the Vandal 568 jacket. I am 59 years old, 5 foot 7 inches tall, weight of 175 lbs, and a 43 inch chest. The Schott fit guide recommended a size Large for a "standard" fit preference and it fit me exactly how I wanted. The jacket is beautifully made and the pebbled cowhide is extremely soft and will require no break in. My main concern was the jacket front/back length because of my height I wanted the jacket to be shorter in length so when I'm riding my motorcycle I wouldn't get "bunching" (when the jacket is too long and it fits awkward because the jacket hangs too low below the waist when in the riding position). This jacket fits me perfectly for riding a motorcycle! My final thoughts are this Vandal jacket might just be the most awesome article of clothing I have ever owned and I am extremely happy I bought it!!!

Incredible look at fit

I travelled across the continent to visit the Schott NYC shop and to try this one one and it did not disappoint. The online sizing chart was accurate and the fit was an immediate yes after trying it on.

The Perfecto legend lives !….

In my opinion, this is the ultimate motorcycle jacket, A Perfecto masterpiece ! The quality of the leather, style and workmanship is TOP NOTCH, it does not get any better than this ! Absolutely Stunning, front and back ! Feels great, Fits great, looks great! But the best thing about this jacket is the older it gets, the better it gets ! Oookay, I do have one complaint, and that is there is no hand pocket on the left side ! my guess is due to the D pocket it just wasn’t possible to add a hand pocket in that area, just too much going on in that space ! that’s OK, it does add to the character and uniqueness of the jacket ! I guess I’ll just have to get used to it !.. So thanks to all the people at Schott nyc who were involved in making and creating this jacket, thank you for keeping the PERFECTO legend alive ! I will cherish this Jacket for the rest of my life !!!!……..

Soooo GOOD

I’m 5’4 120lbs 36 chest and I got the small. I could have gone xs but I don’t care I love it. The weight of the jacket when you put it on is amazing. The feel of the jacket is buttery, it’s already broken in and super soft. I’ve had a few Schott jackets in the past but this by far is my favorite. If you’re thinking about spending the money, DO IT. You won’t be disappointed. You’ll be disappointed you DIDNT.

Bike Riders Jacket

After receiving a promotional email for the new release of the Bike Riders Jacket, I could not resist adding it to my collection. I used the sizing guide which worked out perfect. I am 6'3", 210 lbs, and an XL is a great fit. The arms were plenty long enough, feels good through the chest and the jacket length is perfect, especially when sitting since it hits right at the waist. I also purchased the Horween belt in the recommended size 42, and again perfect. The quality and construction or the jacket are amazing and exactly what you would expect from Scott. It is a heavy jacket, very thick leather, but soft, which makes breaking it in really easy. Great jacket for my collection, many thanks!

The 568 - Truly Perfect!

Simply a Master Piece!! I own several Schott jackets, 613 One Star Perfecto, 141 Cafe Racer,626 VN Vintage, 603 Cafecto and the 673 Retro Moto. This new 568 is now my favorite. Vintage Style D-Pocket (nod to 1928 model) Burgundy lining. Belt-less, if you prefer to were it with no belt or you can add your own flair or order the BLTV from Schott, as I did. Interchangeable. This jacket exceeds all of my expectations. The leather is incredibly soft and luxurious, yet “durable”. The fit is spot on, slim enough to be flattering but enough room for comfort. The craftsmanship is impeccable with strong stitching and quality hardware. Versatile enough to dress up or down, making it the new stable in my motorcycle wardrobe. Worth every penny for it’s timeless style and durability.
