Schott NYC outerwear

Schott NYC is an iconic American brand founded in 1913 by brothers Irving and Jack Schott in Manhattan. The brand is legendary for being the first to put a zipper on a jacket and for inventing the 'Perfecto' motorcycle leather jacket, which became a symbol of rebellion and Americana. Today, the brand remains a hallmark of quality craftsmanship, particularly known for its heavy-duty leather garments and military-inspired apparel.

While Schott NYC produces a significant portion of its heritage leather collection in its own factory in New Jersey, USA, to maintain the 'Made in USA' standard, some of its lighter apparel and accessories are manufactured in other global locations. The company remains a family-owned legacy, preserving its historical roots in New York while serving a global market of fashion enthusiasts and motorists.
