Each Schott NYC jacket comes with a story that has been written over the course of 100 years by four generations of Schotts. The brand is a true-blue American story: a spirit of pioneers, boldness, innovation, quality, and creativity mark and outline all its achievements.
A success story that starts out in 1913 when the two brothers, Irving and Jack, the sons of a Russian immigrant, went after their piece of the American Dream. The Schott story is paved with many numerous milestones: 1928 design and marketing of the first motorcycle leather jacket, the Perfecto named after Irving’s favorite Cuban cigar, 1941 helping the U.S quartermaster to conceive the A2 bomber jackets for the U.S. Air Corps as well as the naval pea coats for the U.S. Navy, 1955 working with State and City police coast to coast to make the best leather police jackets, 1960 working on a new generation of the N2b and N3b extreme cold weather snorkel parkas for the U.S. Air Force, 1971 one of the first makers of goose down parkas using Prime Northern Goose Down, 1975 the famous A2 bomber jackets is revisited and refitted, 1980 the Perfecto line expands with new styles and skins in more than 10 colors, 1990 the Bomber jacket line widens with new styles in leather and cloth… Schott, an American legend.
