About the original
The Schott NYC 544 Cowhide Hip Length Car Coat is a leather coat cut like a blazer, in lightweight full-aniline cowhide that pulls up to lighter tones at the creases. It runs 27 inches to the hip, with a notched collar and lapel, a four-button front, two lower diagonal single-welt pockets, and a striped rayon-poly lining. Schott NYC was founded in 1913 by brothers Irving and Jack Schott and has made leather outerwear in the United States for over a century; the 544 is cut and sewn at the company's factory in Union, New Jersey, alongside the rest of Schott's leather line. Supreme released the collab at $898 across two seasons.
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.
