Supreme x Schott NYC Canvas Down Trucker Jacket
Supreme vs. Original
Supreme version
Original — Schott NYC
Union Canvas Down Filled Jacket 8340D
About the original
The Schott Union Canvas Down Filled Jacket (style 8340D) is a heavy-weight cotton canvas work jacket filled with 80/20 duck down and feather, with a 7-wale corduroy collar, orange ripstop nylon lining, and adjustable snap tabs at the cuffs and waist. Schott NYC has been making outerwear in New York since 1913 and is best known for the Perfecto motorcycle jacket; the Union is their workwear counterpart. Supreme's Fall/Winter 2022 version keeps the down-filled construction and collar but recuts the body in a shorter trucker silhouette with snap flap chest pockets.
About Schott NYC
Schott NYC is an American outerwear manufacturer founded in 1913 by brothers Irving and Jack Schott on Manhattan's Lower East Side, originally making fur-lined raincoats sold door-to-door. In 1928 Irving Schott designed the Perfecto, the first leather jacket built with a zipper, selling the original at a Long Island Harley-Davidson distributor for $5.50. The off-center asymmetric zip became the template for the genre, worn by Marlon Brando in The Wild One and later by the Ramones and the Sex Pistols. The Schott family still operates the company from a factory in Union, New Jersey. Supreme has collaborated with Schott NYC on Perfecto jackets, varsity jackets, and N-3B parkas.
