Details
The Perfecto (named after a favorite cigar) was the first motorcycle jacket with an asymmetrical zip, later made iconic by Marlon Brando, the Ramones, and others. Schott uses heavyweight steerhide/cowhide and sturdy stitching — jackets that last for decades and develop beautiful color over time. Care: condition the cowhide regularly, never use shoe polish, and store in a ventilated spot to prevent mold. Specific dates and historical details should be double-checked by the team before publishing.
