Schott NYC (Schott Bros) is an American clothing manufacturing company which was founded in 1913 by brothers Irving and Jack Schott - the sons of a Russian immigrant. They opened their store on East Broadway, on the lower East side of New York City. Schott NYC was the first company to put a zipper on a jacket[1][2][3] and they created the classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, which was made popular by films such as The Wild One (1953). The company made clothing for the United States Armed Forces during World War II and later also for American law enforcement. Schott NYC is still owned by the Schott family and still manufacture much of their clothing in the United States.

The Perfecto motorcycle jacket

Main article: Perfecto motorcycle jacket
A Schott 613 Perfecto motorcycle jacket

Schott NYC is perhaps most well known for their Perfecto motorcycle jackets. In 1928 Irving Schott designed and produced the first ever leather motorcycle jacket, he named it the "Perfecto" after his favorite cigar. The jackets were made out of horsehide, had a belted front, D-pocket, flap change pocket, zippered sleeve cuffs and shoulder epaulettes. This classic motorcycle jacket was a double-breasted design which meant that the left front panel ( with the left side of the main zipper on the front edge ) overlaps the right front panel ( which has the other side of the zipper located a couple of inches in ). This creates a windproof seal while riding, when zipped up.

In the late 1940s a new design was introduced - the 613. It was nicknamed "the One Star" because it had metal 'nailhead' star studs on each shoulder epaulette. In the early 1950s another version of the jacket was introduced - the 618. The 618 had no stars on the shoulder epaulettes. Stores that carried the jackets often had problems with people stealing the stars of the 613 so the 618 became more commercially viable. Marlon Brando wore a 618 in the movie The Wild One (1953), the stars on his jacket were not original but added to the jacket. There has been no word on where this jacket is today. Because of the film, which was the first outlaw biker movie, the black motorcycle jacket became synonymous with bad attitude and was banned from many American schools during the 1950s.

U.S. seminal punk rock band The Ramones wore Schott Perfecto leather jackets as part of their distinctive uniform look. Japanese rock band Guitar Wolf have their own 613 Perfecto design called 613GW.

Other classic jacket designs

During World War II Schott NYC (being one of several contractors) manufactured the wool naval pea coat for the US Navy.[4] These classic designs are still manufactured by Schott NYC today. Another classic jacket design manufactured by the company is the Café racer leather motorcycle jacket. Café racer jackets are single rider jackets that have a stand ( Mandarin ) collar. Peter Fonda wore a Café racer style jacket in the movie Easy Rider (1969).
