This is luxury
I just received my Perfecto 618 jacket. I can't believe how fast it was shipped. I only ordered it on Ocotber 30 (Saturday), and it was delivered on November 3 (Wednesday) here in the UK.
It is such a terrific feeling when you open the box and see that iconic jacket for the first time. Make no mistake, this is a premium jacket. The craftsmanship is impeccable, and the jacket is so comfortable, and is built to last. It looks outstandingly cool, and keeps you warm.
I am definitely a fan of Schott NYC, and would be purchasing more of their products when I get a chance. This is a premium product, made of the finest materials, and is definitely very hard-wearing. I would recommend this jacket to anyone. I know mine has made me a very happy chap!!
I hope Schott NYC continue with the good work, and it is so good to finally buy a US jacket actually made in the US. I would give this ten stars if they were allowed.

The Original
I bought my 618 about 3 years ago through a local retailer who sold Schott jackets, with the help of Gail i was able to get the right size and i thank you for that. This is truly a work of quality American craftsmanship and even a work of art thats hit pop culture in so many different ways, just take a look at all the knock offs and youll see what i mean. I love knowing that the classic jacket on my back is the first of its kind, Schotts are are like the way Levis are to jeans, they are the creators of a truly famous and original style. If your looking into getting a nice jacket, dont fret about spending your hard earned dollars on these, you REALLY WILL be satisfied, ive always told people (after they compliment my jacket!) don't let the numbers scare ya, with Schott you really do get what you pay for! Support great people making great products!

Look like Brando or look away
I finally bought a 40" Schott Perfecto 618 from Silvermans in London - a UK military store. I'd tried one on in Nice, France earlier in the year. I'd looked at the Legendary Black Stallion and the Aero Leathers "Elvis Harley", both copies of the Buco original, as worn by Julian Casablancas, singer in The Strokes. Well, the Aero Leathers jacket costs £635, or about $900, so bollocks to that. It also weighs about 5 kilos or 12lbs, which is ludicrous. Plus it would take 5 years to break in. I put on the Steerhide Perfecto, and it was er, perfect. Instant Brando Wild One. I have worn the Wild One look (white t-shirt, Engineer Boots, narrow jeans with turn-ups (cuffs) since 1979, and I can honestly say I was not doing it justice until last night. But be warned, you cannot get away with wearing this style if you are remotely overweight.

Worth every penny.
After 20 years of owning knock offs, I finally caved and got the original 618. I don't know why I waited so long. Out of the box it was stiff of course, but I know in no time at all I'll break it in.
You can't get any better than the original 618. It just screams "Gabba Gabba Hey!" Not sure if even want to puncture the hide with all my punk buttons or keep it raw a la Joey Ramone ca. 1976...
I'm even more thrilled that after all this time, it's still made in the 'ol USA. HEY HO, LET'S GO!!!
