There is some debate as to whether Marlon Brando wore a Schott Perfecto or a replica made by Durable in the 1953 seminal movie The Wild One.
[2] Punk rock pioneers The Ramones wore Perfecto jackets in the 1970s and fashion designers such as Jean Paul Gaultier created their variations in the 1980s.
These jackets have a snug, almost tailored fit, which is suited for motorcycle riding, but are short by today's standards.
Neck label is rectangular, black with Perfecto Genuine Horsehide Front Quarter - Style Quality printed in gold letters.
TALON main and cuff zippers and 'Miter' belt buckle (rectangular with mitered corners).
Its popularity and connection to The Wild One movie led to it being banned from sale in many districts of England and the USA[2] and becoming a symbol of rebellious youth.
The Neck label is black with Style Quality Perfecto Genuine Steerhide All Hand-Cut in creme and red letters on coat of arms/crest.
Small long white size tag with black letters directly below the neck label.
Neck label is square, black with Schott in white curly letters above orange and yellow coat of arms (Griffin and unicorn on the sides of it and an S in the middle).
Small white size tag with red letters directly to the right of neck label.
Underarm footballs, two piece underside sleeves, oval lower back panel, inside pocket and snaps on collar are introduced.
Motorcycle rider instead of bull appears on neck label, size is printed on the American flag tag.
Schott reintroduces the 613 One Star (in steerhide with mid 70's neck label) but without snaps for the fur collar and with inner pocket.
The side pockets on the 118 have supposedly been moved closer to the center of the jacket for easier access.
