    • Footwear: Schott for Converse – Chuck Taylor All Star Leather Jacket

    Schott For Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Leather Jacket

    These shoes are pretty incredible. One of the reasons why I love what I do is because I get to touch, feel and smell the product that I talk about. These suede leather jacket chucks feel so good to the touch. The suede wrapped outsole, rear zipper and buttoned tongue are such a great details. I missed out on the last Leather Jackets so I feel really great about these. If you get a chance to get your hands on these I don’t think you will be disappointed. They also look pretty rugged, nothing wimpy about these Chucks. Very Fresh.

    It’s great to see 2 iconic brands come together to make a classic piece.

    Thanks to my friends at Converse.

    With deep roots in American style and culture, the Schott NYC jacket and the Chuck Taylor All Star shoe have led somewhat parallel lives. Converse began in 1908 and Schott in 1913 and as the part of the 20th Century unfolded, Chuck Taylor All Star shoes were unveiled and quickly became nearly ubiquitous in American life. Not long before Chuck Taylor added his name to the already then famous All Star shoe, in 1928, Schott unveiled the first motorcycle jacket ever. Named the “Perfecto”, by the 1950s, the jacket had become a symbol of the new rebellion that was taking hold with the burgeoning teen culture that arose after the War.

    Referenced in classic film and television— the uniform of the rock and roller, the hoodlum and the rebel often wore a pair of Converse Chuck Taylor All Star shoes and a black Schott Perfecto leather jacket. Likewise, as the punk rock movement swept the streets of downtown New York City and beyond, a Schott leather jacket and a pair of Chucks became synonymous with the scene. Today, both Schott and Converse connect with the American spirit and represent the individualism that both brands have embodied throughout the decades.
