The Spidi Originals LE Jacket is a classically styled motorcycle jacket that captures the aesthetic of the formative days of the world-renowned motorcycle gear manufacturer.

The collar is corduroy and it has shoulder expansion gussets, inside you’ll find a flannel plaid lining with satin sleeves and Warrior armor (CE Level 1) in the shoulders and elbows. The waist is adjustable, the jacket has snap closure slash cuffs, and four front pockets.
