118 as a close cousin to our popular Model 618 with just a few differences.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePerfecto® Model 118 leather jackets for men are made with U.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eS. sourced, chrome-tanned, drum dyed, heavyweight naked leather.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThis hide has a softer \"hand\" when compared to our steerhide and a matte finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIt is chrome tanned and processed to provide many years of use without the need for treatments or conditioners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight out of the box this jacket will feel like it was custom made for you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThis Perfecto® model 118 motorcycle jacket was designed and built for the long haul, the short ride, and everything in between.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot recommended for those who are looking to just blend in with the crowd.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchott NYC uses heavyweight naked cowhide to help your leather jacket become your \"second skin\".\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotorcycle jackets need to be as tough as the people wearing them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOur 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNickel plated brass hardware complete this timeless American made classic that is built to last a lifetime.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAs with all Perfecto® leather jackets, Schott only uses the best, highest quality leather available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIn the same tradition started in the late 1920’s, highly skilled workers hand-cut each panel for the 118.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIn keeping with their original custom style, Schott designed this jacket model with added versatility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAvailable in both regular and long sizes we often suggest this model for our taller customers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLong sizes add 2 inches to the body length and 1 inch to the sleeves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchott 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOf course this is just our best recommendation, as always we suggest you carefully check our sizing diagrams and measurements to determine best fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Schott Perfecto® Model #118 is still proudly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOur customers know that the quality and construction of our jackets are unparalleled.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFrom the heavyweight thread we use to the strong American hands that do the crafting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWe build our leather motorcycle jackets to the same indestructible standards as the old style leather medicine balls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne-hundred plus years of being the best is your assurance that Schott Brothers stands behind every jacket we make.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHistory:\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe three pocket design of the Schott Perfecto® Model 118 dates back to the late 1940's.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIn those days this leather motorcycle jacket was referred to as just “Perfecto®” or “Beck model 999” (manufactured by Schott).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe small coin flap pocket started out as a custom option offered in the early 50's.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBy 1955 this coin pocket became a standard feature of this biker-style jacket known as “the Perfecto® One Star\".\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConsidered 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”.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOriginally referred to as \"the One Star\", it was officially banned from schools across the US for an entire year in the mid 50’s.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSome believe this action served to make the Schott Perfecto® even more desirable to America’s young renegades with their “Wild One” tendencies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchool Boards wanted to burn it and youthful rebels saved every penny to buy one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAt 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!\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe customized asymmetrical leather motorcycle jacket worn by Brando became the must-have anti-establishment symbol for 1950’s youth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe orders skyrocketed for this leather jacket causing Irving Schott and his son Mel to increase their workforce and expand the Schott factory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBy the mid 1960’s the Perfecto® men’s jackets had also caught on with the emerging rock n roll movement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOnce again, due to increasing sales, Schott had grown out of their current factory on King Street in Perth Amboy, NJ.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThere 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAbout this leather: Our naked cowhide leather is a premium top grain cowhide that combines comfort and durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe leather boasts a naturally tight open pore structure that ensures a softer touch and superior comfort.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIts weight and warmth are on par with deluxe heavy steerhide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe full aniline, drum dyed process preserves the leather’s texture, enhancing its natural grain with a subtle, semi-matte finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIt is then vacuum dried (instead of toggle dried) that leads to a slightly stiffer result as the fibers are not stretched and softened.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe leather is designed to age gracefully and expand its characteristics over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStiffness: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 3-3.5oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Schott
