Nothing beats a Schott Perfecto. Got my first Perfecto after working the Summer of '82. With that came a new pair of Levi's and West German made Adidas sneakers. Going back to school that year never felt better. We had style.

do the jackets still look good once they fade to gray after decades? (Talking about the black dyed ones)

[@ericwhitlow7364]

In a once in a lifetime type thing I found a Schott one star at an auction. It looked new. I got it for $45. Schott confirmed it was from the 1950s. It didn’t fit me so I sold it. The spare stars were still in the pocket.

It doesn'st look cheap at all it looks of high quality. Really nice. Love the weight of it too. I've come to the conclusion that for the rest of my life, when i'm in a room with other people, 9/10 i'll prolly have the best jacket in the room. Not that that's why i bought it or anything but i've realized that now because i realize how high quality this jacket is after seeing it in person and wearing it.

@@CarlMurawski I love it. The leather is super soft and supple. Really like the black on black design, not too showy. It fits really nice ( I went with the website's suggested size), hopefully I don't outgrow it too soon, especially after dropping a grand for it. I was looking at the schott website to find specific care products for veg leather, they're not specified. Everything about it is really well made, no fraying or lose ends. What are some storage suggestion? Would it be best to store on a hanger with a cover, place on a microfiber bag to keep dust out, or something else. I'm pretty open to suggestions, this is the first time I've ever owned a leather jacket. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I have the raven myself and it is extremely comfortable 👍

[@metallicmarshmellow5397]

Cris FS hey! I know I might be a little late, but in my personal experience, when you’re not wearing it, just keep it uncovered on the hanger in your closet. This lets the leather breathe a bit, keeping it nice for longer. Hope you’re enjoying it so far!!

I bought a Perfecto few years ago, it's a 618 size 40 and honestly, compared to my biker's jacket, (Ixon Vortex with shoulder pads and aero bubble and dorsal protection, forearms shells, etc) it's the same weight! The leather is super heavy and high quality, the zippers, virtually unbreakable and as long as the leather is taken care of, it stays like brand new for years. paid 600€ for it, but I don't regret my choice! Long Live Perfecto!

[@javierdiazsantana]

A nice jacket. I would advice it for functional wear, if you're riding in the rain get a horsehide, if you fall off from the bike a lot get a thick steerhide like a P613S, if you want it for casual wear and just want the bad boy look, any thin leather like lambskin and stuff will be great, like the Raven for example. I think the Schott Perfecto is a must have piece if you do have a collection of leather pieces, i would advice going to the punk / heavy metal look instead of the Marlon Brando one since that looks extremely old to me, but it is a nice piece. I would take the risk of saying it is the most edgy and aggressive looking piece of clothing there is in the market along some heavy combat boots, and in my experience, women like to hug guys wearing one of these in a heavy black pebbled leather.

Luckily I live in the NYC area. Schott holds annual factory sale in NJ. The sale consists of everything new at a discount but the real discounts are the extra overhead they cannot get rid of, one off prototypes, & some slight cosmetic issues. I bought my classic black 141 & an antique brown 585. My sister hit paydirt with an aviator Top Gun style leather jacket for her son my nephew. It was an old jacket that never sold. Apparently there was a nick on the front (jacket is distressed so I couldn’t find the nick for the life of me). Anyway a typical Schott runs around $600-$700. My sis paid $80!!!! It’s an amazing jacket. It’s the same leather as my 585 which is distressed. This was aviator style as opposed to my 585 which is classic moto meets army style. It’s a cash only final sale event every first Saturday in December. It’s always my highlight around Christmas time. There is also a $50 & under room. Picked up some awesome peacoats & vests too. No I do not work for Schott I just love their merchandise.

Underarm gussets are great. I only wish Schott jackets came with that inside side entry snap pocket that G1 jackets have. You know what I mean?

[@CarlMurawski]

I do, and it really seems like the interior of these jackets are overlooked. even a vertical zipper pocket on the chest interior would be welcome!

Really awesome video Carl! I would love to get the perfecto without the belt and the softer hand. I have to rewatch and see which model that would lead me towards. I don’t ride but really want to! Maybe you’ll hook me up with some lessons and a free jacket? 😉

Any time man! I have two bikes and you’re welcome to be the Dennis Hopper to my Peter Fonda. 😆
