About the original
The Supreme x Schott Leather Tanker Jacket is a collab-exclusive cowhide bomber built in Schott's Union-made USA factory. Schott NYC was founded by Irving Schott on the Lower East Side in 1913 and sold the first zippered leather jacket in 1928. The jacket borrows from Schott's A-2 flight-jacket lineage (the 184SM has been in their catalog since 1977) with snap-flap hand pockets, a sleeve utility pocket, an interior snap pocket, ribbed cuffs, and an elastic hem. Satin lining, full-zip closure, and a debossed Supreme logo on the left pocket. Released SS19 at $698 in black, light blue, and brown. There's no off-the-shelf equivalent at Schott — the tanker cut with ribbed hem was built for this collaboration.
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.
