As with all Perfecto® leather jackets, Schott only uses the best, highest quality leather available. We hand-cut the leather panels from the same soft, chrome tanned, drum-dyed and practically indestructible cowhide leather as our other Perfecto® jackets, but the hide is slightly lighter in weight (2.5 to 3 ounces). This leather breathes well and breaks in quick and easy, and our time-honored tradition of tanning and processing ensures it will last many years without needing treatments or conditioners.
Schott designed the 626 without underarm footballs, allowing a tighter fit for that classic bold and streamlined look that looks good anywhere. For wind protection and added warmth the 626 features an asymmetrical main zipper, attached belt, zippered sleeve cuffs and a durable 100% cotton flannel lining sewn into the body of the jacket. The collar and shoulder epaulets are designed in the traditional 1940s style but the twist is that these epaulets have no stars. If you look closely at the snap down lapels, you will find that the snaps are custom embossed, another detail that shows how far we’ll go to construct jackets of unparalleled quality. Nickel plated brass hardware completes this timeless American-made classic that is built to last a lifetime.
Leather Type, Fit and Construction:
Schott NYC uses this semi aniline cowhide 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 both stain resistance and added protection while riding on your classic motorbike or out on the town. For wind protection and added warmth the 626 features an attached belt, zippered sleeve cuffs and a durable 100% cotton flannel lining sewn into the body of the jacket. Nickel plated brass hardware complete this timeless American made classic that is built to last a lifetime.
In the same tradition used in the 50's, highly skilled workers hand-cut each panel for the 626. In keeping with their original custom style, Schott designed this jacket to fit tighter than most for that classic bold and streamlined look. We suggest you carefully check our sizing diagrams and measurements to determine best fit. The Schott Perfecto® Model #626VN is proudly made in the U.S.A. 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® 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 for the wild side in all of us.

AMAZING JACKET!
it cost almost all my paycheck, but it was worth every penny.. because you're not just buying a simple leather jacket... you're buying a legendary jacket of the highest quality. This is almost a second skin for me, I use it for all events!
BADASS JACKET!
Since I started shopping around for a leather jacket to update my wardrobe, I thought it would be worth it to save up the money and go for the real deal. I did some research and I came across the brand Schott NYC and figured I'd give them a try. I went to a men's fashion store to see if they had any Schott Perfectos in stock which they didn't at the time (this was in October of 2021). I asked the manager to order me a model 618. He measured my chest size which is 44 inches and he recommended a size 46. I opted against the size 46 because I wanted a more tailored look. As soon as the jacket arrived and I tried it on the first time, it was a little stiff, but the jacket fits like a glove! Now that I have worn the 618 throughout fall, frequently in winter when it wasn't too cold and throughout the majority of spring, the jacket has broken in beautifully and was perfect. It's now starting to build some character. I then decided to get another leather jacket that was meant for warmer weather and already had that aged look. I stumbled across the 626VN and ordered the size Schott NYC recommended for me (XL). When I received the jacket and tried it on, the jacket fits like a glove in all of the right spots and it just looked absolutely killer! The only downside to this jacket I have to say for me is the sleeves are just slightly too long for my arms. I would say if the sleeves were maybe just a little shorter by at least an inch or two for my arm length, it would be perfect. Other than that, this is a solid piece in my wardrobe! I won't buy a leather jacket from any other brand except Schott NYC. They do not skip out or cut corners when it comes to quality control! Schott NYC, I think you make the best, most killer, most badass leather jackets out there, period!
CLASSIC PERFECTION
Thought about it for years, finally pulled the trigger and couldn't be happier. Their quality products put the bad in badass. Arrived in only a couple days and the jacket is perfect. The pockets all around are even better and bigger than I expected. Fit is perfect and as it breaks in, gets more and more comfortable and form fitting. Get one now -
PHENOMENAL.
I’m really not sure how to articulate the magic of this jacket. I had high expectations, and it greatly exceeded them. It’s heavy, well made, and beautifully detailed. Schott’s legacy speaks for itself. And this jacket is truly a work of art befitting that legacy. Not to mention, excellent customer service. Which is rare these days. The prospect of what the jacket costs was a bit overwhelming at first, but having received it i simply couldn't be happier. You get what you pay for. Do yourself a serious favor.
SPICOLLI BODHISATVA
perfect in every way. Fit was spot on. Customer service was exceptional. So stoked to finally have a Perfecto. The Gold standard.
if your thinking about this jacket. just pull the trigger and pull in to sickest jacket your hard earned money can buy. Cheap knock-offs be damned!
MY 626VN EXPERIENCE
Hey y'all,
I just wanted to give you a heads up on my experience with the 626VN.
If you're here and considering buying a Schott jacket, you already know their reputation how well they're made.
You wanna know the fit, right?
I'm in my mid-fifties, 5'10", about 190 pounds (with a bit of a gut), and I usually wear a size "large." After reading the other reviews, I decided to size up to an "Extra Large" and I couldn't be happier. The jacket fit me perfectly, with enough room if I gain a few or lose a few pounds.
I know these are expensive jackets, but they are worth it. It'll last forever.
I selected the free shipping option and the jacket arrived 3 days early in Seattle.
BOMB
this jacket is the bomb. i am. a fairly skinny guy, 5'10, 125lb, lean but with muscle, kinda like bruce lee, also i do martial arts.
man this jacket got me feeling some kind of way, it makes me feel good. it fits like a glove, everything is perfect with a t-shirt underneath.
the quality is good, i got another jacket from farfetch made by some european brands, les hommes, cost over 2000 euro, and this jacket blow that one out of water on everything.
man these guys know what they are doing when it comes to leather jackets.
BEST LEATHER JACKET OF ALL TIME
I grew up in the Northern US, and used to own a standard weight leather jacket, but now I live in the Southeast, so I wanted something a little lighter and the 626 is perfect. The construction is spectacular, and I’ll be able to wear this jacket 3 out of 4 seasons. The zippers are heavy duty, and the sleeve length fits me just right. I highly recommend this if you want something that feels great, looks great, and isn’t too heavy. (It’s still heavy. Just not too heavy.)
A PURE CLASSIC
I love all the attention I get from this jacket. Random people will stop me to compliment it!
I’m 45 yrs old, weightlifter, 5’9”, 205lbs, 46” chest, 32” waist I went with the XL. It’s a bit tight in my upper back, however, I was worried about going XXL because of the longer sleeves. I feel like in just one night out the XL has stretched slightly to form to my size.
Even though it’s billed as lighter version I believe it’s tough enough to be used for riding.
Schott, you have a customer for life!
I LOVE THIS JACKET
I look for any excuse to wear this thing.
Just a tip, it fits a half size small - try on in store or go off the sizing estimator.
