About the original
The Schott NYC 266S is the company's B-6, the lighter-weight sibling of the World War II B-3 sheepskin bomber: a waist-length real-sheepskin jacket with a fold-down shearling collar, cowhide trim, patch map pockets, and an antique brass front zipper, built in the USA and sold for $1,250. Schott NYC was founded in 1913 by brothers Irving and Jack Schott on New York's Lower East Side and put the first zipper on a leather jacket in 1928. Supreme's Fall/Winter 2016 version follows the B-6 pattern in black and green sheepskin, trading the map pockets for a zip chest pocket and welt handwarmers. The sheepskin, the collar, and the cut are the reasons to own either one.
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.
