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.
