Schott, an original and handmade American brand.

Schott is a US-based clothing production company, based in New York and founded in 1913 by Jack and Irving Schott, who started sewing and producing raincoats in a basement-factory on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.

In 1928, Irving Schott designed and built the first leather motorcycle jacket; the Perfecto. This was retailed for $ 5.50 at a Harley Davidson distributor, Perfecto was durable, robust, and immediately entered the national fashion scene. In the forties, during the war, on commission of the US Air Force a bomber to protect soldiers and officers from intense cold to high altitudes, stuffing it with real sheepskin and adding aesthetic details such as cuffs, waistband and lapels on chest on display. This is how the Schott B-3 is born; robust and warm, this leather and wool jacket would have been produced by Schott for the US Army for the next sixty years. At the end of the world war the brand has dressed many actors in their most important appearances, such as James Dean and Marlon Brando.

In the seventies and eighties Schott was associated with the punk movement. The wave of rebellion arrived in the streets of central New York through the underground CBGB music venue. The Schott Perfecto was the real uniform of rock stars like the Ramones, Blondie, Joan Jett and the Sex Pistols.

In 2013, the company celebrated 100 years from its foundation, consolidating the work of the third and fourth generation of the Schott family carried forward by the current managers.
