In 1928 Irving Schott designed the Motorbike leather jacket & called it the " Perfecto" after his favourite cigar.
Despite the customer's mask we see that he has a big happy smile. Nice work!
Very interesting anecdote also. As you thought, Irving Schott in 1928 invented the first leather motorcycle jacket with a zipper. The Rebel biker jacket. "The rough, tough garment designed for bikers crossed over into high fashion - and endured for decades."
In another source, I read that "The Schott’s sold them through a Harley Davidson distributor over on Long Island. Each Perfecto Motorcycle Jacket sold for $5.50."
Let's continue...
You're like a carpenter I knew from back in the day. His hands shook and he always looked too rough/violent with his pieces until he assembled them into the final work, which always turned out perfect. Same with you.
Excellent, I bought a Schott blazer back in early 80's. Almost 40 yes old, still wear it. Thanks Steve
Awesome! We make them built to last!
RUclips algorithm brought me here! Now I'm hooked...might be sending my Schott for alterations too!
Anytime you’re ready
@@BedosLeatherworksLLC just emailed
Another quality job by Bedo's Leatherworks. Another satisfied Bedo's customer.
just when i think i'm done with youtube for today; Steve uploads something n i gotta watch that before i can go anywhere lmao. let's continue!
Same here! I just mirror shined my shoes for tomorrow and wanted to prepare to go to bed, but here we go again!
Thank God i live in California 4:22 pm of work no 2nd job today "hammmmmmer Time"
Hey I remember selling 2nd hand leather jackets at street fairs and flea markets many years ago. The best of those and by far the best selling one's were Schott Bros. brand. They last a lifetime if taken care of. Great to see them preserved.
I _love_ my Schott jacket. Not cheap, but worth every penny... especially if you fall off a bike. The cut, fit, and dimensions (e.g., sleeve proportions) are perfect for riding. Those folks know how to make a jacket.
I believe they are made in Union, NJ. They did invent the biker jacket and also the police motorcycle jacket. You cam take a factory tour.
Spike .Strat13 Thank you for that information. A tour too, that’s pretty cool.
The jacket adopted by the police after the surplus of ww2 motor-bikes were received is the perfecto with a kidney belt added and the other protective features like double thick elbow's also a badge holder and on some had fur liners for winter . the old bikes would hurt you because of how rough they rode without suspension and the roads were terrible. Side-note most of the bikes were the harley 4 cylinder which is the most coveted bikes along the enthusiasts. Side cars were loved by some hated by others. The jacket and the bike are a true American icon. If you look online even forth or fifth generation Schott police motor-bike brigade jackets are thousands of dollars. Also I'm almost positive they are still made today and are the standard of quality. If I missed anything. Feel free to add information you know. Thank you.
Side-note #2 fantastic job Steve I love your work. Even-tho you don't think so you are a shoe wizard.
Schott still family owned. Made in Perth Amboy NJ . Woo hoo!
The phone thing keeps it exciting! I’ve been sewing all my life. I know your machine can fly. I had one similar.......piece of furniture and definitely not portable table top. Nippers are a handy tool. Great job.
This kind of job....did it in a neatly form like today; is not so unusualy searched for some people. I need it that kind of job years ago with a good leather jacket in that style and could not found anyone willing to do it. Nice job and nice to see you again in the tube.
Steve your craftsmanship ceases to amaze me again awesome work. I believe that when you say you’re “videotaping” what you mean is you’re “recording”. I detect some old-school technology terms, since your camera doesn’t have any tape inside of it. Lol. Thank you for your comical commentary and patience while you’re working!
Best regards!
You forgot the “never!” (“... your craftsmanship NEVER ceases to amaze me...”)🤣
As a hobby sewer, I agree about the old threads. I’m so jealous of the way you wield that Stanley knife. I use a seam ripper and it takes me forever. I know if I used a Stanley knife I would be cut to ribbons within a week. I didn’t know you could reuse the top stop in a zip. Gonna play next time I get one that is U/S to see what I can do.
Excellent tip with the glue. I’m going to try using a fabric glue for the same reason.
Think I'm as envious of his sewing skills as his cobbler skills. The man just has talent.
I also have a tired old leather that needs a new lining. After seeing this episode I feel confident enough to tackle it sometime.
I use a safety blade instead of a stitch ripper for things like that. You can buy them in a hardware store in the section where they sell box cutters. I find holding the blade in my fingers gives me more dexterity and control of the slices than when using a blade in a handle.
Same.
You have got to get over the seam ripper, Sarah. Use the Stanley knife or a single-edged razor. Difference is that one takes minutes to do the job and the seam ripper takes about 5 hours!
Glad you made a video of this, never considered getting a leather jacket altered!
Schott is the best. Just last Friday, it was my daughter's 18th birthday... we took her to the NYC store and said... "Pick one" ... glad she didn't pick the $800 Perfecto ;) P.S. Not just the first leather motorcycle jacket with a zipper... the first zipper in ANY jacket/coat period!
Thank you! Hope she has it forever!
Her BF will trade it for dope in the east village. And lie to everyone and say he got mugged. I'm not making hateful statements. My GF back 20 years ago did that to me with the 500$ jacket I got for 18th only In a different state but scumbags are everywhere. Just a cautionary tale. Stay elert stay alive.
Also Schott is in SoHo at 263 Elizabeth Street. Great store. They also make great Peacoats
Thanks!
No sabía nada de este tipo de trabajos en piel o cuero, pero justo ahora estoy arreglando las mangas de una de esas cazadoras de motorista que mencionas en tu vídeo. Espero no hacer un mal trabajo, es la chaqueta de mi marido y le tiene mucho cariño al menos tenía que intentar salvarla de la basura🤷. Me ha gustado tu vídeo muy ilustrativo.Gracias por compartirlo 👍
I have six A2 schott jacket and they r superb, all of them vintage. Used by Ramones, Marlon Brando in the famous movie etc. Anyway nothing at all to say, about the amazing job, but to alterate the jacket with pockets, is wrong, because the proportions will became different, I mean if we cut the jacket from the bottom, automatically the pockets should be in higher position, but that it' s impossible, so for that reason the customer had to think better before to ask to alterate his jacket. Maybe if the customer has the possibilty to spend more money, it might be better to make a tailored jacket directly in the schott factory. They do with a plus cost. Anyway great job, as always!!!
Beautifully done alteration. It was great to see on it's owner too. Really glad you took the time you didn't have to show us. ; )
Even though thought you didn’t think it was a good idea, I’m so glad you made this video. I searched all of the RUclips and only came across maybe 3 videos of shortening a jacket with a zipper. THANK YOU!!!
I am a huge Schott (and Bedos) fan and love the Perfecto jacket aka Marlon Brando jacket...perfect job as always Steve !
Another great alteration, you make it look so easy but I know it has taken years and years to get the quality of craftsmanship you deliver now!!! TYFS
Hi Steve. I came across your channel a couple of weeks ago and been hooked ever since. I’m working my way through all your vids and never tire of them. I’m from New Zealand 🇳🇿 and worked in a shoe factory in Wellington for 17 years until imports made it unprofitable in 1996 and it closed down like most shoe and clothing factories here. We mainly made cheap school shoes of low quality in cement and veldt schoen construction. Actually weren’t that cheap at between 50 and 100 bucks NZD back then. There were many shoe repair shops around back in those days because shoes were expensive so it was cheaper to repair shoes that were decent quality. Welted shoes were a thing of the past in our factory back then but there still one or two factories in NZ that were making them.
Nice looking jacket. Looks like just enough leather that was cut off to make a belt. Anywhoooo This was not only informative but entertaining. I laughed several times. Thank you for sharing.
lol.....I loved those times when the camera wanted to get a close up of something...without being asked to.
I bought a SHott jacket colour brown in Wales for 25 pounds a few years ago. . I love it.
Well that made a nice end to my day😉. Now I can go and look up Schott Jackets.
Great video, Steve! We really enjoyed watching your craftsmanship and how you helped your client so he can wear our jacket for many years to come. We offer many different jacket lengths in most of our styles to help everyone find the perfect fit. I'm sure that many of our vintage collector friends and those who have inherited their grandfather's jacket would love to see ways they can make them their own! Thanks for sharing with everyone what's going on behind the seams!
Schott Perfecto is what you are thinking of. Famous for Marlon Brando wearing it amongst loads of celebrities in films.
I think Brando wore a brand called Durable. Not schott. BUT I think schott bought durable at some point. So, that's how they justify saying he wore a perfecto.
Give Steve 100 k guys!! Come on!!!! He deserves it!!!!!!!
Glad that business is booming with many phone calls, Keep up the good work Good Sir.
Hi Steve 🙋🏿♀️. THAT Job was Simply BEAUTIFUL ‼️ you are the man with the Master Plan‼️ I totally love what you do ‼️😃. Have a great evening ‼️🙋 👍👏 👏👏 👏👏 👏👏 👏💯 💯♥️✝️♥️🙋 👏.
I love to see clients reactions! It's nice to see happy people :)
Interesting that you did not also have to shorten the sleeves. Most people that alter jackets for length need both. Very nice work. I love your zipper trick for alignment. I am going to remember that one for my next jacket project. You da man!!
Great job Steve!!
The customer seemed very happy!
I love the method to your genius madness! Beautiful work as usual.
You had severe OOPSIES today.......🤣🤣
Great as always, Steve!!
We love the video as always. We are hoping that you are well. Your voice sounded a little tired. Can’t wait for the next video. Let’s continue...
😂🤣😂 when the camera fainted after you wondered out loud if we could “see things right here?” 😂 even your camera has a sense of humour!
You're the Bob Ross of leatherwork.
Thanks for another great video Steve!
Love the tattoo, it has personal meaning, plus it looks great on you!
Well done!
That jacket is under surgery! An immaculate job by a perfectionist! Great stuff Steve!
Love a schott jacket.
Oh damn, I didnt know you could use crepe to remove the old stitchings. I always used a tip of a knife and removed them laboriously... That's a pro tip, Thanks!
Had a really bad holiday my dog hurt his neck it's been so stressful I 100% needed this to wach thanks dude ☺
STEVE YOU ARE THE BEST.
He should use this video for his online dating profile, 'cause he looks good in that jacket.
يعطيك.اصحة....انتا.مشكور..لزاف
Hey presto it’s done. Love watching you Steve and your mastercraft. Almost 100k subs!
Love watching all your videos long or short
Steve, its a bit weird ... as when the bottom is shortened, the pockets will also be lowered. And if the customer doesn't put things in the pockets ( just for style ) its OK or things will be easily fall out from the pockets. Besides, the look is somewhat .... Well, its the way your customer wanted. Your craftsmanship is always remarkable and you've done a great job !
You don’t cut the pockets my friend, that stays the same
I know ... Thanks for your reply ! BTW, I sent you email about changing the toe style of my John Fluevog Chelsea boot couple days ago ... did you got it ??@@BedosLeatherworksLLC
Nice looking jacket!
I love your sense of humor 😂 your work is superb❤️
Nice/tidy alteration there Steve.
Hey Sam, looks good on you! Another nice job Steve. Let's continue!
Brilliant tip to get front and back lined up, just replaced a zipper and ended up doing it by hand.
Is there anything u can't do? I am so impressed. Love the video, good job Mr. Gorgeous
Very nice job Steve, the fit looked perfect 👌
I had a Schott coat a long time ago, it was very warm, don't know where it is now!
Let's continue 👍🏼 and stay safe.
Love your videos loads of character- always picking up new tricks from you - crepe rubber to remove old stitching knew those old Clarks of mine had a purpose 👌
Your video is so helpful! I'm shortening my own jacket and I would not have known about the zipper stuff. Thanks very much! :)
Thank you Steve! I would love to see more jacket videos like this!
Man, it is such a pleasure to watch your videos - you are very comfortable in front of the camera, now :-) Great job!
Hey Barney, your camera fell. Hahaha.
You made that task look too easy!
Oh yeah, thanks for the sewing tip regarding the seams between the zipper. I'm putting that one in the vault.
Great vid thank you ...nice trophies...you a winner
Your vids are the best on all of RUclips....
That was a really cool change of pace !👍❤
Let's continue! 🤟
Nice alteration Steve ... Beautiful jacket ...
Thank you for making a video! I love seeing leather jacket work.
glad your open, thank you for the upload.
Another one!!! Great job Steve!!! Such attention to detail.
Excellent video, liked the customer cameo!
Kind of binging these vids. My Schott is now my son's. I could not wear it as life makes you expand. LOL
Love to see a private business respect what their customers choices are.
Love the jacket! Beautiful work as always!
Steve give us a shop tour one day if that’s ok. I’m assuming those are some awards in the background intro
Schott is amazing quality..♥️ from the UK
I appreciate your sharing your knowledge with all. Thanks for the upload.
That was awesome getting to see the customers satisfaction. Of course he was satisfied, you’re the best!
Good job with the alteration. For me the sleeves often ten to be in the longer side. The j100 style jacket is a 50's design that is very practical. Honestly, if the individual person wants to adapt his garment for his personal use is great. However, the owner is a taller individual that can rock that jacket without alterations. I have several Schotts. They are good jacket. However, their products are marketed more towards the fashion industry and have gone away from military contracts and serious motorcycle collectors.
Steve,what’s up with the wire hanger (lol)? Wood is the way to go. Let’s continue. Another great job!👍
Gran trabajo!!!
No entiendo por que en estos días fabrican las chaquetas de cuero y denim tan largas? Será por que todos usan los pantalones a la altura de las medias nalgas?, en sus orígenes las chaquetas llegaban a la cintura REAL y daban al varón un aspecto realmente favorecedor, masculino y joven.
I've got to now I've watched the video
You need a new tripod 😂😜
That’s an $850 jacket but eBay has some for $250
Another great job. Thanks Steve.
Nice work Steve. The jacket was Schott before you started though...
HAhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, Gosh darn phone. I love the baby hammer time!!!!!!.......Great looking jacket. Looks like the bottom is a great match to his waist or hips. Great job Steve. Artisan at work, love your craft.
My friend Jo has an essential tremor similar but slightly worse than yours & it drives her scatty when people tell her to cut out caffeine. They say not to let her make a cup of coffee cos there won't be any in the cup by the time she gets to you....almost true that carrying a cup sets it off worse
You do good work brother
This guy sounds just like Jimmy Diresta... For 2 weeks, since I discovered the channel, I've been trying to figure out where I'd heard that voice before. 🤣
I noticed you were shaking a bit more than normal...I think you could have threaded your sewing machine with it running at full speed...
Some shaking can be attributed to taking Lithium I have read. He proved that it is not from caffeine in. his case so we have to look elsewhere for the reason. Could be that he takes Lithium for bipolar condition.
I love you Steve, you crack me up.
Now I want one of these jackets. Awesome job.
Awesome 👌🏾
LESS-THAN-THREE it Steve ‼️
You the man ✔️ 💯
🔝Marks
i have a lambskin jacket like that and also to long i like that update to it now nice work man
Steve I noticed you have a few watches. Maybe you could make a video about them, please? :-)
sure glad we could even see the final length on him at the end of the video cause the most important part of the shot wasn’t completely obstructed at all
Yes I also read or watched a you tube video on there Very hollywood film famous Biker dude Side zip Big studs Leather jacket. Not me though I'm more sporty type Tutu Leather ( Dainese ) type of person.
Great work Steve.
I assure you, tripods fall over too... 😂😂😂
Good job, little hammer time. It was a short video, but its okay. See you in the next one.
