The leather perfecto (chiodo) for men and women

The Perfecto remains the most beloved leather garment for women and men and it is definitely one of the most worn clothing items in the world.

The term "chiodo" essentially is a purely Italian appellation in fact the chiodo is a leather jacket for motorcyclists that was made in 1913 in new york. But why does it have the appellation leather chiodo in Italy ?

A few decades ago it became a symbol of the so-called "metalhead" movement. The jacket was adorned at will and everyone embellished it with studs and patches. The more there were, the more the metal culture was highlighted. In Italy it came to be called a studded jacket and hence the nickname "chiodo." But why all this success for the perfecto?

Giving worldwide consecration to the leather perfecto will be Hollywood. In 1953 Marlon Brando stars in the film "The Savage." His character wears a Perfecto with the famous crest with the skull and crossed pistons painted on the back and his name (Johnny) embroidered on the Chest.

In the early 1970s the Perfecto was seen as a male garment. But then always Hollywood, with the movie Grease in which Olivia Newton John appears in this jacket, it is also used by the female audience as a must. In those years it was worn by women paired with a miniskirt.

Today this leather jacket has found its place in most men's and women's styles. Throughout the various decades, from bikers to hipster to fashion and sporty and of course it is worn by VIPs and celebrities all over the world.
