Original — Schott NYC
Suede A-2 Jacket (Supreme exclusive)
About the original
Schott NYC was founded in 1913 by Irving and Jack Schott on Manhattan's Lower East Side and manufactured leather flight jackets for the U.S. Army Air Corps starting in 1928; the civilian 184SM A-2 joined the Schott catalog in 1977 and is still made in the USA. The jacket uses the A-2 flight pattern — pointed collar, full zip with snap-down wind flap, two flap patch pockets, interior chest pocket, knit cuffs and waistband — cut from leopard-print suede in place of Schott's standard cowhide. A Schott leather label sits inside the collar and a small Supreme tab is stitched at the right hip pocket. Released for Spring/Summer 2018; the suede fabrication and leopard print are exclusive to this collaboration.
