Information: "In 1954, the now cult classic "The Wild One" featured the hot young actor, Marlon Brando, perched on his motorcycle wearing his Schott Perfecto.
The subsequent spike in popularity of the Perfecto surprisingly resulted in decreased sales. The jackets were actually banned by school systems around the country because they symbolized a burgeoning teen demographic, the 'hood'."
