As Seen In

As Featured in the Sunday Styles Section of the New York Times:

Created in New York more than 80 years ago by Irving Schott and named after his favorite Cuban cigar, the Perfecto motorcycle jacket is an American classic, sported by every stylish rebel since Marlon Brando and duplicated by just as many designers.  Now, finally, comes the women's Perfecto - a streamlined lambskin version made, by hand, on the same turn-of-the-century machines as the men's, and worn rather superbly by Blake Lively on the cover of the February Esquire.  No surprise, the jacket has generated considerable excitement among the fashion masses - of not for it's authenticity, then for it's affordability: at $386, it is a steal compared with, say, Balenciaga's much coveted $2,600 biker jacket.  

But then, as Jason Schott, the C.O.O. and Irving's great-grandson put it, "Not everything made in the U.S.A. has to carry a luxury price tag." 

Esquire magazine says, "The most significant consequence of Gossip Girl may be the rise of its lead blond, who's about to become a serious movie star".  The blond star in question, Blake Lively, was kind enough to wear a lambskin leather Perfecto motorcycle jacket from Schott NYC on the cover of the February 2010 Esquire magazine.  Now available for preorder here. 

The wool bomber jacket style JF760 is featured on Kevin Cossom in January's Source Magazine.
