  • Leather Type, Fit and Construction:
  • We consider the Model 618 as a close cousin to our popular Model 613 with just a few subtle differences, namely the 618 has Schott logo snaps and no stars on the epaulets.
  • Perfecto® Model 618 leather jackets for men are made with U.
  • S. sourced, chrome-tanned, drum dyed, heavyweight steerhide leather.
  • This hide has a medium to firm “hand” 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 have a stiffer feel and fit.
  • We always tell our customers that to make this leather jacket their own requires a profound commitment.
  • Wear it often, explore the open road and watch how it conforms to your body over time.
  • This Perfecto® model 618 leather motorcycle jacket was designed and built for the long haul, the short ride, whatever you decide to throw at it!
  • Schott NYC uses steerhide to help your leather jacket or “second skin” resist the elements.
  • Motorcycle jackets need to be as tough as the people wearing them.
  • You will enjoy the benefits of stain resistance, sturdy protection and water resistant leather whether you are riding on your classic motorbike or venturing out in the chill of a winter storm.
  • For wind protection and added warmth the 618 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 tight fitting 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 used in the 50's, highly skilled workers hand-cut each panel for the 618 from patterns that date back to the early Perfecto® leather jackets.
  • In keeping with their original custom style, Schott designed this jacket to fit tighter than most for that classic bold and streamlined look.
  • Offered in sizes 32 to 54, we suggest you carefully check our sizing diagrams and measurements to determine best fit.
  • Many of our customers prefer to “size up” in this style due to its classic, close-fitting cut.
  • Ordering based on your chest size will give you that snug, t-shirt only, bad boy look pioneered in the 1950’s.
  • The Schott Perfecto® Model #618 is still proudly
  • Our customers know that the quality and construction of our jackets are unparalleled.
  • From the heavyweight nylon 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® One Star 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® mens 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 as the Model 618 for the wild side in all of us.
  • About this leather: Steerhide is a robust finished top grain cowhide leather that is as luxurious as it looks.
  • It is plump, full bodied and rich to the touch, with a similar weight and warmth of naked cowhide.
  • Its sealed finish offers an extra layer of protection against water, making it a practical choice for everyday wear (it’s best to keep any leather away from wetness for a prolonged period).
  • It is then vacuum dried (instead of toggle dried) that leads to a slightly stiffer result as the fibers are not stretched and softened.
  • Initially the leather may feel a bit stiff but given some time it will break in beautifully,m becoming butter-soft and conforming perfectly to your unique shape.
  • Stiffness: Very Stiff
  • Weight: 3-3.5oz
