    In 1928 Irving Schott designed the Motorbike leather jacket & called it the " Perfecto" after his favourite cigar.

    Despite the customer's mask we see that he has a big happy smile. Nice work!
    Very interesting anecdote also. As you thought, Irving Schott in 1928 invented the first leather motorcycle jacket with a zipper. The Rebel biker jacket. "The rough, tough garment designed for bikers crossed over into high fashion - and endured for decades."
    In another source, I read that "The Schott’s sold them through a Harley Davidson distributor over on Long Island. Each Perfecto Motorcycle Jacket sold for $5.50."

    You're like a carpenter I knew from back in the day. His hands shook and he always looked too rough/violent with his pieces until he assembled them into the final work, which always turned out perfect. Same with you.

    No sabía nada de este tipo de trabajos en piel o cuero, pero justo ahora estoy arreglando las mangas de una de esas cazadoras de motorista que mencionas en tu vídeo. Espero no hacer un mal trabajo, es la chaqueta de mi marido y le tiene mucho cariño al menos tenía que intentar salvarla de la basura🤷. Me ha gustado tu vídeo muy ilustrativo.Gracias por compartirlo 👍

      Hey I remember selling 2nd hand leather jackets at street fairs and flea markets many years ago. The best of those and by far the best selling one's were Schott Bros. brand. They last a lifetime if taken care of. Great to see them preserved.

    I _love_ my Schott jacket. Not cheap, but worth every penny... especially if you fall off a bike. The cut, fit, and dimensions (e.g., sleeve proportions) are perfect for riding. Those folks know how to make a jacket.

    Steve your craftsmanship ceases to amaze me again awesome work. I believe that when you say you’re “videotaping” what you mean is you’re “recording”. I detect some old-school technology terms, since your camera doesn’t have any tape inside of it. Lol. Thank you for your comical commentary and patience while you’re working!

      The jacket adopted by the police after the surplus of ww2 motor-bikes were received is the perfecto with a kidney belt added and the other protective features like double thick elbow's also a badge holder and on some had fur liners for winter . the old bikes would hurt you because of how rough they rode without suspension and the roads were terrible. Side-note most of the bikes were the harley 4 cylinder which is the most coveted bikes along the enthusiasts. Side cars were loved by some hated by others. The jacket and the bike are a true American icon. If you look online even forth or fifth generation Schott police motor-bike brigade jackets are thousands of dollars. Also I'm almost positive they are still made today and are the standard of quality. If I missed anything. Feel free to add information you know. Thank you.
      Side-note #2 fantastic job Steve I love your work. Even-tho you don't think so you are a shoe wizard.

    As a hobby sewer, I agree about the old threads. I’m so jealous of the way you wield that Stanley knife. I use a seam ripper and it takes me forever. I know if I used a Stanley knife I would be cut to ribbons within a week. I didn’t know you could reuse the top stop in a zip. Gonna play next time I get one that is U/S to see what I can do.
    Excellent tip with the glue. I’m going to try using a fabric glue for the same reason.

    • @enixon8268
      @enixon8268 4 роки тому

      I use a safety blade instead of a stitch ripper for things like that. You can buy them in a hardware store in the section where they sell box cutters. I find holding the blade in my fingers gives me more dexterity and control of the slices than when using a blade in a handle.

      You have got to get over the seam ripper, Sarah. Use the Stanley knife or a single-edged razor. Difference is that one takes minutes to do the job and the seam ripper takes about 5 hours!

    Hi Steve. I came across your channel a couple of weeks ago and been hooked ever since. I’m working my way through all your vids and never tire of them. I’m from New Zealand 🇳🇿 and worked in a shoe factory in Wellington for 17 years until imports made it unprofitable in 1996 and it closed down like most shoe and clothing factories here. We mainly made cheap school shoes of low quality in cement and veldt schoen construction. Actually weren’t that cheap at between 50 and 100 bucks NZD back then. There were many shoe repair shops around back in those days because shoes were expensive so it was cheaper to repair shoes that were decent quality. Welted shoes were a thing of the past in our factory back then but there still one or two factories in NZ that were making them.

We offer many different jacket lengths in most of our styles to help everyone find the perfect fit. I'm sure that many of our vintage collector friends and those who have inherited their grandfather's jacket would love to see ways they can make them their own! Thanks for sharing with everyone what's going on behind the seams!

      Her BF will trade it for dope in the east village. And lie to everyone and say he got mugged. I'm not making hateful statements. My GF back 20 years ago did that to me with the 500$ jacket I got for 18th only In a different state but scumbags are everywhere. Just a cautionary tale. Stay elert stay alive.

    I have six A2 schott jacket and they r superb, all of them vintage. Used by Ramones, Marlon Brando in the famous movie etc. Anyway nothing at all to say, about the amazing job, but to alterate the jacket with pockets, is wrong, because the proportions will became different, I mean if we cut the jacket from the bottom, automatically the pockets should be in higher position, but that it' s impossible, so for that reason the customer had to think better before to ask to alterate his jacket. Maybe if the customer has the possibilty to spend more money, it might be better to make a tailored jacket directly in the schott factory. They do with a plus cost. Anyway great job, as always!!!

      I think Brando wore a brand called Durable. Not schott. BUT I think schott bought durable at some point. So, that's how they justify saying he wore a perfecto.

    Good job with the alteration. For me the sleeves often ten to be in the longer side. The j100 style jacket is a 50's design that is very practical. Honestly, if the individual person wants to adapt his garment for his personal use is great. However, the owner is a taller individual that can rock that jacket without alterations. I have several Schotts. They are good jacket. However, their products are marketed more towards the fashion industry and have gone away from military contracts and serious motorcycle collectors.

    Steve, its a bit weird ... as when the bottom is shortened, the pockets will also be lowered. And if the customer doesn't put things in the pockets ( just for style ) its OK or things will be easily fall out from the pockets. Besides, the look is somewhat .... Well, its the way your customer wanted. Your craftsmanship is always remarkable and you've done a great job !

    This guy sounds just like Jimmy Diresta... For 2 weeks, since I discovered the channel, I've been trying to figure out where I'd heard that voice before. 🤣
