Retailer: Billy Martin's

America, founded 1913

This Perfecto jacket has the same construction as the original 1928 horsehide design, first created by the Schott Brothers for manufacture by Harley-Davidson. Its black leather, chrome hardware, asymmetrically zipped front, and belted waist have been so successful that Schott still produces the Perfecto design today.
