The Perfecto is a brand of double motorcycle jacket created by Schott Bros clothiers of New York. The first one was produced in 1928 and was the first double style motorcycle jacket to be produced. It went through several generations of design revisions over the years, the first being in the late 1940’s with the model 613. This design soon became know as the “one star” because of the single star which adorned the apaulette of each shoulder. This was followed a few years later by the model 618, which was basically the model 613 without the stars - this is also the jacket worn by Marlon Brando in the movie “The Wild One” in 1953.
Very few actual design changes have been made to the Perfecto in the past 50 years (other than slight changes in labeling, pocket angling, and snaps). It did however set the standard, in styling and design, for the Classic Motorcycle Jacket that we all are familiar with today. One noticable diference is that most modern motorcycle jackets are a bit longer than the original Perfecto design.
