This is not just a leather jacket—it’s the 613SH BLACK from Schott NYC, the direct descendant of the Perfecto worn by Marlon Brando in *The Wild One*. Every stitch, snap, and star on this jacket carries the weight of motorcycle culture, Hollywood cool, and over 80 years of American quality manufacturing. Made in the USA from heavyweight horsehide (3-3.5 oz), it’s built to withstand wind, rain, and decades of wear while developing a patina that tells your story. The slim, rider-inspired cut—25 inches long—hugs the body without restricting movement, thanks to bi-swing back panels and zippered cuffs. The asymmetrical zipper isn’t just for style; it’s a functional detail that blocks the wind, while the quilted nylon lining (5.5 oz) adds warmth without bulk. This is a jacket that demands attention, not because it shouts, but because it’s earned its place in history.
Schott didn’t just make a jacket—they created an icon. The One Star Perfecto (named for the single star on each shoulder, a nod to Brando’s original) is packed with details that separate it from imitators. The snap-down lapels, the nickel-plated hardware, the coin pocket with its pressure snap—these aren’t decorative flourishes; they’re functional elements born from the needs of riders. The horsehide, sourced from the U.S. and drum-tanned for durability, starts stiff but moulds to your body over time, becoming as personal as a fingerprint. And while it’s undeniably rock ‘n’ roll, it’s also versatile: layer it over a hoodie for a casual look or throw it on over a shirt and tie for a touch of edge. Whether you’re on a bike or on the pavement, this jacket is designed to move with you, not against you.
Schott NYC isn’t just a brand—it’s the birthplace of the Perfecto. Founded in 1913 by brothers Irving and Jack Schott, the company invented the first motorcycle jacket in 1928, a design so revolutionary it became a symbol of rebellion when Marlon Brando wore it in *The Wild One* (1953). Since then, Schott has remained a family-owned business, crafting its jackets in the USA with an obsessive focus on quality. The 613SH BLACK is a testament to that legacy: no shortcuts, no compromises, just leather, hardware, and history.
CaractéristiquesFrequently Asked Questions
This jacket is made from heavyweight horsehide leather, known for its durability and resistance. Over time, it develops a rich patina, softening slightly while maintaining its structure and character.
The slim fit is designed to be close to the body. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, consider sizing up. The US sizing runs smaller than European sizes—add 10 to your usual French size (e.g., US XS = FR 36/46).
The leather is drum-tanned and treated to resist water, but it is not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to rain, and always dry it naturally if it gets wet.
The bi-swing back panels provide extra ease of movement, especially when riding or sitting. They allow the jacket to expand slightly without restricting mobility.
The lining should be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or dry cleaning, as it may damage the insulation or stitching.
The 'One Star' refers to the single star on each shoulder epaulette, a nod to the iconic design worn by Marlon Brando in *The Wild One*. It distinguishes this model from the classic two-star Perfecto.
While the heavyweight leather and quilted lining provide warmth, the jacket can be worn in milder weather if layered over lighter clothing. The zippered cuffs and adjustable waist help regulate airflow.
