Schott NYC
Schott NYC has made leather outerwear in the United States since 1913, when brothers Irving and Jack Schott began selling raincoats door to door on Manhattan's Lower East Side. The company introduced the Perfecto motorcycle jacket in 1928 and supplied 10-button peacoats to the US Navy during World War II. Still family-run and sewing much of its leather line at its Union, New Jersey factory, it also makes B-3 shearlings, waxed cotton and varsity jackets, plus sweatshirts, and collaborates with labels including Supreme and Junya Watanabe.
