For just over 100 years the Schott company has been making coats. In the early days The Schott brothers were making raincoats in the basement of their lower east side tenement, but by WWII they were making bomber jackets for the US Air Force. Later the military style spread to all branches of the military and law enforcement. So by the time Marlon Brando need a jacket for The Wild One in 1953 there was no other choice but the Perfecto. To this day, Schott NYC is still owned and run by the 3rd and 4th generation of the Schott family. And the manufacturing hasn't gone far either - now being made in Union, New Jersey, just across the river from Schott's main business office in New York City. We went there to learn how a Schott Motorcycle Jacket is made!

How a Schott Perfecto is made - the ultimate motorcycle jacket.
The label for bad boys everywhere is black leather motorcycle jacket. The legend started when Marlon Brando wore the Schott Perfecto motorcycle jacket in the movie “The Wild One”. After the movies release the Perfecto, the first jacket designed with the rider in mind, was banned from schools and became the marker for every teen rebel. Since then the jacket has been adopted by heroes like Joey Ramone, Bruce Springsteen and Jay Z proving it is still the jacket of choice for cool.
For just over 100 years the Schott company has been making coats. It wasn't all cool and leather. In the early days The Schott brothers were making raincoats in the basement of their lower east side tenement.

I have a Schott Perfecto 613 from the early 60's, and even after all those years, it still feels and looks incredible.

[@allstateitsinyourhands9765]

your so cool.....

[@ryantimony6692]

I got one from the late 60s!

[@SickBoyOC]

My father handed down his leather jacket to me. He bought it back in the 80s. It's an Open Road jacket. Nothing beats it. It's as classic as it gets and it has stood the test of time. Still looks almost brand new

[@zen8418]

Ur lucky

[@MrAlkanet-nt9ic]

the worn out look is even better for black leather, as long there is no rust on buttons, but that can be changed or polished

[@wickedcrypto6004]

Hate us or love us this is one good piece of Americana history. Thank you Schott Perfecto

[@NateNakao]

I own a Schott Perfecto 118, and it's my favorite jacket. I've had it for just under a year now, after buying it brand new, and it's still a bit stiff, but it's definitely softened up quite a bit since I first bought it. I love it and will wear it for decades before passing it on to my future son, if I ever have one.

[@BrandmadeTv]

+Nate Nakao We LOVE this story!

[@dutchvanderlinde3256]

[@ncooty]

I bought my Schott jacket (tab collar, not the Perfecto) when I bought my first motorcycle over 20 years ago. I love that all of its form follows function, not fashion... and the leather is thick. It's a great jacket; totally worth the price.

[@CandyCandy-pt8rn]

I'm designing and sewing a custom "chilly weather/back to school" wardrobe for my son, and this year I'm definitely including a leather jacket. :D He's five, and I'm enjoying the custom tailoring him cute rocker clothes as much as I can because he will eventually grow up and rebel by demanding souless big brand clothes instead of my hand-stitched threads full of metalhead mommy love, lol.

Since buying my 618 from Japan I realize it's the best thing since sliced bread.......greatest jacket ever.

[@swicheroo1]

I found a Schott Motorcycle Jacket in my parents' garage. It fit me to a T. But it was just too cool to the point of costume-y. It was from the late 50's. Then, my parents told me that I could have a garage sale and all the money I got would be mine...if I could just do the work. I hung the Schott on a stop sign and somebody bought the jacket for 50 bucks. I was stoked!

[@Dany-id6kt]

I wish I was that person!

[@bradboustead1682]

Could have sold it for $400.

[@chris101gray3]

I just bought my first Schott (a used 118 from 1990) after wearing cheaply made copy type jackets. I am finally stoked to have the real deal, though I could never afford to buy a new one, this one I got is in close to new condition!

[@stephanvenner2939]

Why didn't they show some Punkrock Bands like the Clash or the Ramones instead of Jay Z who even don't wear a Perfecto?

[@billysinge8977]

Stephan Venner they could have shown Elvis, James Dean, or as you said Punk bands, why show Jay Z the rich cry-baby?

Why do you care so much? It’s a jacket

[@stephanvenner2939]

@@meaninglessacount8550 It is more than only a "jacket". It is a symbol of youth and rebellion. A sign that you don't conform with the status quo. Think for yourself is not a fashion item it's part of your character. That's something those Hipsters never get. They steal a part of a cultural important time period and think it's cool to look like one of them without a clue what it means.

The quality of material and workmanship.

[@MrAlkanet-nt9ic]

not easy to make, but once bought one can wear (and tear) it for life... i remember many a night when i was teen it save my life sleeping off drunkenness and rolling over god knows what from gravel to glass, also you can sit anywhere, just put your jacket down and you have a comfy cushion... and it can be worn all year around, even in summer nights... ah those were the days...

[@gabor222]

The only design flaw is the belt bucket on the front. I saw many removed to avoid scratching the motorcycle tank.

[@bradboustead1682]

Some models hold the buckle more secure with a hidden snap. Schott will put that snap on any model at your request.

[@gabor222]

The problem is not that it is not held secure. The problem is that it is on the front so even if it is fastened you can accidentaly scratch the tank when you lean forward. I wear mine with the belt unfastened and tucked to the sides :D
