The Schott NYC model 519 Perfecto motorcycle leather jacket is made of aniline cowhide and has a form-fitting cut. The leather jacket impresses with its top quality and great wearing comfort. If the Schott leather jackets have always been too wide cut for you, you finally have an alternative with a more body-hugging cut and narrower sleeves than the "Perfecto 613" model from Schott NYC, for example. The aniline cowhide leather is very soft to the touch and requires no special care, even after years of use. Handmade and manufactured in the USA - Made in U.S.A.
Additional information
Original text from the manufacturer:
Our 519 was designed as a retro version of the popular 613. The is one of our slimmest leather motorcycle jackets which is more suited for fashion than riding. Perfecto Model 519 leather jackets for men are made with chrome-tanned, drum dyed, plump cowhide leather. You will find this jacket to be very comfortable to wear the moment you first try it on! This leather is made with an oil and aniline finish that gives a rustic old look and a soft "hand". As with all of Schott's high quality leathers, this mid-weight cowhide is tanned and processed to provide many years of use without the need for treatments or conditioners.
Incorporating more of a fashion fit, the 519 is cut tighter in the arms. We also removed the underarm footballs for a more streamlined fit. The open sleeve cuff design and rounded shoulder epaulets were born in the late 1920's on our first zippered leather motorcycle jacket, the model 1928. Another change that was made from our original 613 design is the added snap near the belt buckle. This was done to keep the heavy buckle in place even when the belt is open. This Perfecto model 519 motorcycle jacket was designed and built for the long haul, the short ride, and everything in between!
As with all Perfecto leather jackets, Schott only uses the best, highest quality leather available. In the same tradition used in the 50's, highly skilled workers hand-cut each panel for the 519. In keeping with their original custom style, Schott designed this jacket to fit tighter than most for that classic bold and streamlined look. Offered in sizes XS to 3XL, we suggest you carefully check our sizing diagrams and measurements to determine best fit. The Schott Perfecto Model #519 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.
