Original — Schott NYC
495 Lightweight Cowhide Trench Coat
About the original
The Supreme x Schott Leather Trench Coat is a long, double-breasted lambskin leather coat with a removable belted front, button flap hand pockets, an interior chest pocket, a back vent with button closure, and satin lining. Schott NYC was founded by Irving and Jack Schott in 1913 on Manhattan's Lower East Side and is best known for supplying leather flight jackets to the U.S. Army Air Corps during the Second World War and for originating the Perfecto motorcycle jacket in 1928. Schott's own men's leather trench is the Style 495 Lightweight Cowhide Trench Coat, a 40-inch notched-lapel trench made in the USA. The FW22 Supreme version uses softer lambskin rather than cowhide and was produced exclusively for the 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.
