Hamilton Khaki Pilot Schott NYC
Schott is an American clothing brand hailing from New York. They’re over 100 years old, having been established in 1913. The company was founded by two brothers, Jack and Irving Schott, in New York City. They are pioneers in the clothing industry for many things. To name a few, Schott NYC was the first to put a zipper on a jacket. However, they’re probably most famous for being the originator of the classic motorcycle jacket, under the brand name Perfecto. It’s a sub-brand of Schott NYC and the creator of the double-breasted leather jacket that is now an iconic piece of clothing. Perfecto introduced its first motorcycle leather jacket in 1928. During the Second World War, they supplied naval peacoats to the US Navy. More importantly, many of the jackets air force pilots wore also came from Schott NYC. And this is how we arrive at Hamilton.
