The Legacy of Schott N.Y.C.

Founded in 1913 by the visionary Irving and Jack Schott in the heart of Manhattan's Lower East Side, Schott NYC is the epitome of timeless American craftsmanship. This is the brand that introduced the world to the iconic "Perfecto" leather motorcycle jacket in the late 1920s, forever etching its name in the annals of fashion history. Remember Marlon Brando in "The Wild One"? Yep, that was Schott NYC.
