Schott NYC product data

Founded in 1913 in New York City by brothers Irving and Jack Schott, sons of Russian immigrants who started by selling raincoats door-to-door, Schott NYC is a cornerstone of American outerwear. The brand is synonymous with rugged, functional design, most notably the iconic Perfecto leather motorcycle jacket, which introduced the asymmetrical zipper to block wind. Its core product lines include heavy-duty leather biker jackets, military-inspired bomber jackets, and dense wool peacoats. Renowned for its American manufacturing, Schott NYC emphasizes durability, hand-cut leather, and robust hardware designed to wear in over time rather than wear out.
