Since 1913, Schott NYC has defined American outerwear, creating the first motorcycle jacket and outfitting military personnel during WWII. Their Perfecto jacket achieved cultural icon status when worn by Marlon Brando in “The Wild One” and later by countless rock stars from The Ramones to Joan Jett.

Limited to just 150 pieces worldwide, this exclusive jacket is built to develop a rich patina and improve with age. It celebrates the rich heritage of Made in USA manufacturing and incorporates Ball and Buck’s commitment to field-tested, quality-proven design. The result is a jacket that honors tradition while embracing modern craftsmanship.
