Schott NYC (Schott Bros) is an American clothing manufacturing company located in NYC. The company was founded by brothers Irving and Jack Schott in 1913. Schott NYC was the first company to put a zipper on a jacket and they created the Perfecto motorcycle jacket, made popular in movies like The Wild One (1953). The company made clothing for the US Military during World War II and later also for American law enforcement.
