History of motorcycle jackets
Biker jackets are older than we think, and this cool, wild biker jacket is more than 100 years old.
Late 1920s
The motorcycle jacket is undoubtedly a classic American style item, and the creation of the motorcycle jacket is attributed to Schott NYC, which was founded in 1913 by brothers Owen and Jack Short. The Schott brothers were recognized as innovators in the apparel industry, the first company in the industry to sew zippers on jackets, revolutionizing American-made outerwear. ▼
In 1928, Owen designed the world’s first motorcycle jacket, which he sold for $5.50 at his Harley-Davidson dealership in New York. It was also the first biker jacket with a functional zipper at the time, allowing the wearer to easily put on and take off. Its predecessor was fixed with buttons, but the addition of a zipper closure ensured maneuverability. ▼

Owen Short “Irving Schott” affectionately named his new biker jacket Perfecto after his favorite cigar shape, The Perfecto.

1950s
This biker jacket became famous in 1953 thanks to Hollywood heartthrob star Marlon Brando, who played a gang leader in the hit movie Wild One, then wearing Schott NYC’s Perfecto trench coat. As a result, the motorcycle jacket instantly became a cool symbol of a whole generation of young people. ▼

1960s-1980s
In the 1960s-1980s, the motorcycle jacket became a symbol of carefree youth and were worn by everyone from budding musicians to the Beatles, and everyone saw it as a symbol of counterculture. In the 1970s, rock became the dominant genre of the time, and rock bands often adopted biker jackets as their uniforms. Ramones used it as the cover of the albums Rocket to Russia, Leave Home, and Road to Ruin, pushing the mainstream of motorcycle jackets and giving them another sense of coolness. ▼

Punk followed rock ‘n’ roll in the 1980s, and the subculture gave the biker jacket its most infamous transformation. Led by designers such as Vivienne Westwood and bands such as Sex Pistols, the motorcycle jacket became a symbol of the anti-government, anti-establishment movement of the 1980s. During this period, jackets were usually worn oversized and decorated with metal spikes and rivets. ▼
