Founded in 1913 by the Schott brothers - Irving and Jack - in New York, Schott NYC is world renowned for being the first to produce a zippered jacket when creating the iconic Perfecto motorcycle Schott jacket. Famous for being made out of horsehide whilst also including a belted front as well as a D-pocket, flap change pocket, zippered sleeve cuffs and shoulder epaulettes, this classic motorcycle jacket was a double rider’s jacket design which meant that one part of the front zipper was located a couple of inches in. When zipped up this created a seal where no air would pass through when riding a motorcycle.
