Motorcycle Jackets for Men

The 1950s gave birth to rock and roll, fast cars and teen rebellion. This era also produced the popularity of the traditional black leather motorcycle jacket, a favorite with the local bad boys and motorcycle gangs.

The Schott Perfecto® motorcycle jacket was the jacket that made it happen. This jacket was worn by Marlon Brando in 1954 in the cult film "The wild Ones" and the young short lived film star James Dean would not be seen on a motorcycle without one. In the 1970s and 1980s rock stars like The Ramones, Blondie, Joan Jett and The Sex Pistols could often be seen wearing a Schott Perfecto® motorcycle jacket. Traditional and still popular today with motorcycle riders everywhere.
