- Leather Type, Fit and Construction:
- We consider the Model 118 as a close cousin to our popular Model 618 with just a few differences.
- Perfecto® Model 118 leather jackets for men are made with U.
- S. sourced, chrome-tanned, drum dyed, heavyweight naked leather.
- This hide has a softer "hand" when compared to our steerhide and a matte finish.
- It is chrome tanned and processed to provide many years of use without the need for treatments or conditioners.
- Right out of the box this jacket will feel like it was custom made for you.
- This Perfecto® model 118 motorcycle jacket was designed and built for the long haul, the short ride, and everything in between.
- Not recommended for those who are looking to just blend in with the crowd.
- Schott NYC uses heavyweight naked cowhide to help your leather jacket become your "second skin".
- Motorcycle jackets need to be as tough as the people wearing them.
- For wind protection and added warmth the 118 features an attached belt, zippered sleeve cuffs and a durable insulated nylon quilted lining sewn into the body of the jacket.
- Our bi-swing back panels and under arm footballs ensures that this jacket moves with you eliminating that restrictive feel often found with other leather motorcycle jackets.
- Nickel plated brass hardware complete this timeless American made classic that is built to last a lifetime.
- As with all Perfecto® leather jackets, Schott only uses the best, highest quality leather available.
- In the same tradition started in the late 1920’s, highly skilled workers hand-cut each panel for the 118.
- In keeping with their original custom style, Schott designed this jacket model with added versatility.
- Available in both regular and long sizes we often suggest this model for our taller customers.
- Long sizes add 2 inches to the body length and 1 inch to the sleeves.
- Schott sells this leather jacket model true to size, if you wear a 42 suit jacket simply order a size 42 and you will even have room for a sweatshirt underneath for those colder days.
- With that said it has occurred a few times that some of those young whippersnappers are able to downsize to achieve that tight, t-shirt only, bad boy look.
- Of course this is just our best recommendation, as always we suggest you carefully check our sizing diagrams and measurements to determine best fit.
- The Schott Perfecto® Model #118 is still proudly
- Our customers know that the quality and construction of our jackets are unparalleled.
- From the heavyweight thread we use to the strong American hands that do the crafting.
- We build our leather motorcycle jackets to the same indestructible standards as the old style leather medicine balls.
- One-hundred plus years of being the best is your assurance that Schott Brothers stands behind every jacket we make.
- History:
- The three pocket design of the Schott Perfecto® Model 118 dates back to the late 1940's.
- In those days this leather motorcycle jacket was referred to as just “Perfecto®” or “Beck model 999” (manufactured by Schott).
- The small coin flap pocket started out as a custom option offered in the early 50's.
- By 1955 this coin pocket became a standard feature of this biker-style jacket known as “the Perfecto® One Star".
- Considered to be the best motorcycle jacket it caught the mainstream public's attention after Marlon Brando epitomized the coolest of cool, wearing his Perfecto® in that iconic classic film “The Wild One”.
- Originally referred to as "the One Star", it was officially banned from schools across the US for an entire year in the mid 50’s.
- Some believe this action served to make the Schott Perfecto® even more desirable to America’s young renegades with their “Wild One” tendencies.
- School Boards wanted to burn it and youthful rebels saved every penny to buy one.
- At the time, this jacket retailed for close to $50 which amounted to roughly 100 hours of work if you were a gas station attendant making fifty cents an hour!
- The customized asymmetrical leather motorcycle jacket worn by Brando became the must-have anti-establishment symbol for 1950’s youth.
- The orders skyrocketed for this leather jacket causing Irving Schott and his son Mel to increase their workforce and expand the Schott factory.
- By the mid 1960’s the Perfecto® men’s jackets had also caught on with the emerging rock n roll movement.
- Once again, due to increasing sales, Schott had grown out of their current factory on King Street in Perth Amboy, NJ.
- A few new factories later and still in New Jersey, Schott proudly continues this iconic American classic motorcycle jacket for the wild side in all of us.
- There is still a Schott family member in the factory every day to make sure Irving would still be proud to put his name in these jackets.
- About this leather: Our naked cowhide leather is a premium top grain cowhide that combines comfort and durability.
- The leather boasts a naturally tight open pore structure that ensures a softer touch and superior comfort.
- Its weight and warmth are on par with deluxe heavy steerhide.
- The full aniline, drum dyed process preserves the leather’s texture, enhancing its natural grain with a subtle, semi-matte finish.
- It is then vacuum dried (instead of toggle dried) that leads to a slightly stiffer result as the fibers are not stretched and softened.
- The leather is designed to age gracefully and expand its characteristics over time.
- Stiffness: Medium
- Weight: 3-3.5oz
