About the original
The Schott NYC 246 Soft Touch Lambskin Delivery Jacket is a zip-front leather jacket in soft, chrome-tanned lambskin, modeled on the jackets Schott once made for delivery drivers and dock workers. It has a split collar, one zippered chest pocket and two open hand pockets, a bi-swing back for reach, a cotton houndstooth lining, and a 26-inch back length. Schott NYC was founded in 1913 by brothers Irving and Jack Schott and has made leather outerwear in the United States ever since; the 246 is cut and sewn at the company's factory in Union, New Jersey. The lambskin is lighter and more supple than the cowhide Schott uses on its motorcycle jackets. Supreme ran the 246 at $698 across several 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.
