Perfecto is a leather jacket for motorcyclists made in 1928 by Irving Schott of Schott NYC. It was named after its creator Irving, who was inspired by his favourite brand of cigars. The jackets in those years were made of horsehide. In 1977 some aspects of the jacket were changed and it differs because it is made of cowhide. The zips are made by Talon. The side pockets are at 55° and the chest pocket at 60°.
