After all, what menswear article is more classically cool than the one made famous by the likes of Marlon Brando, Bruce Springsteen, and Lou Reed. • 01:14 Early History of the Schott Perfecto • At present, the Schott Perfecto is more associated with its reputation as a unique and emblematic fashion garment than as a practical article for protection. And you’re just as likely to see it worn by pop stars, musicians, celebrities, and people who have never ridden a motorcycle in their lives as you are to see it worn by actual motorcyclists. • 03:47 History: From Brando to Today • 06:38 Perfecto Jacket Styles (Overview) • Schott lists over a dozen motorcycle jackets branded as Perfecto and some differ greatly from the style and design of the classic Perfecto. Prices and terms of sale will vary for third-party retailers and Schott products can cost more outside of the United States. • → Style 613 • → Style 613H • → Style 613S • → Style 613SH • → Stye P613S • → Style 519 • → Style 618 • → Style 618HH • → Style 619 • → Style 625 • → Style PER70 • → Style P213 • → Style PER22 • → 08:29 Style 118 (Focus of today’s video) • Note that Style 118 doesn’t come with stars. So like Marlon Brando, you’ll have to add them yourself if you want them. • 09:32 Materials • Schott NYC constantly touts the quality of the leather used in their jackets emphasizing that it is drum-dyed, often with pure aniline dye. Meaning, that the leather has been fully immersed and tumbled in a dying vat that is intended to produce a consistent, even color and employ both vegetable and chrome-tanned hides, depending on the jacket. • 10:30 Manufacturing • Most of the Perfecto line is still made in the US in Schott’s New Jersey factory. And a majority of the company’s total jacket production is from the United States. • On their website, Schott offers a surprisingly in-depth pictorial explanation of their manufacturing process. • 11:41 Special Features • After first pioneering the use of the zipper, Schott has added some other innovative features to the Perfecto. Not every variety of the Perfecto will have all of these features so be sure to double-check the Overview section for any jacket you’re considering. • 13:18 Our Test on Model 118 in Black Naked Cowhide • We assess the Perfecto jacket we purchased from Schott NYC. Please note that we’ll only be considering it as a menswear article and not as a motorcycle-riding accessory. • 16:20 Is It Worth It? • It depends on if it’s the right jacket for you. The overall quality of the Perfecto regarding materials, construction, and features is good, but not exceptional. • The Schott Perfecto is definitely worth It if: • → you love the Classic style of an American motorcycle jacket • → will have many opportunities to wear it • 18:28 Outfit Rundown
