The Sebago Wool Cruiser Coat is just about the perfect gentleman’s sporting jacket, it’s made from heavy Mackinaw Wool combined with soft Sebago leather and has 4 front pockets to hold your spare 12 gauge shells, cigars and hip flask.
The Matrix Kevlar Jacket by Alpinestars is still our hands-down favourite from the current AS catalogue, it’s one of those rare motorcycle jackets you can wear on or off your bike and not look a whisker out of place.
The Chapter Jacket by Icon 1000 is sitting at the top of our totally imaginary list of the best looking, armoured motorcycle attire.
This is the Maven, it’s the first women’s motorcycle jacket by the team over at Roland Sands Design and it looks so good I kind of wish they made a men’s version.
The Superdry Time Trial Jacket is the kind of coat you can wear on or off your BSA and not look a whisker out of place. It has classic diamond-pattern quilting, tough brass zippers and a belt to stop it flapping around when you’re blasting up the M1.
Roland Sands Design is an American custom motorcycle company and clothing label that produces some of the best looking, alternative gear on the market. This is their Rocker Motorcycle Jacket, it’s made from lightly distressed 1.1mm genuine cowhide, it has pre-curved sleeves for comfort and has structural rivets placed at stress points to increase strength.
The Schott Naval Pea Coat is one of the more handsome coats available for the winter season, it’s made of Melton Wool and has leather detailing with a red satin lining.
The Bomber Jacket is one of those classic designs that’s overdue for a comeback, the designers at Alpinestars decided to get ahead of the curve and have created the handsome, understated Matrix Kevlar Jacket you see pictured above.
This jacket, dubbed the “Chapter Jacket” is part of the new Icon 1000 line, it’s made from 100% Brazilian cowhide, has reinforced seams and zippers as well as a full set of CE approved impact protectors in the shoulder, elbow and back areas.
I love finding little boutique clothing manufactures that still produce garments the same way they did when Blower Bentleys roared around Brooklands. GRP is a little Italian knitwear maker based in Carmignano, this is their Vintage Flight Vest and I like it a great deal.
This is the G. Air-Frame Jacket by Dainese. It’s a modern motorcycle jacket with full front and rear tight knit mesh venting, a removable zip-in liner for cooler weather, CE Level 2 body armour in the elbows, forearms, shoulders and back, it also has stud-tabs along the arms and around the waist to allows you to tighten the jacket and ensure a snug fit.
