Schott Prefecto Biker Jacket

Offered here is a fabulous example of this classic icon, the Schott Perfecto 618 Bought new from Rokit in Camden High St in 1985, the jacket has only been worn out for posh! I’ve acquired way too many jackets (and boots) since that time, and now it’s really time for a bit of thinning out. The condition is near mint, everything works, shines, gleams… Two outer zippered side pockets, one front coin pocket, and one inside slip pocket. Zips, snaps and belt are A1. This 618 version is made from the more robust steerhide, which although is comfortable and easy to wear, offers a firmer support than cowhide. The quilted inner lining is mint! I am a 42” chest, 5’ 9” and it fits very comfortably (see pics) The original and ultimate of all biker jackets, the iconic Perfecto style dates back to the 1940’s but gained its notoriety in the 50’s with Brando in ‘The Wild One’, and the advent of the Rock n Roll era, so much so that the jacket was banned in 1950’s American High Schools! If you want the ultimate in biker originality, the Perfecto is unrivalled. Beware of imitations! In today’s market, new Perfecto’s range from £1050-2000, so this fabulous vintage example is a great bargain.
