The world of vintage motorcycle jackets is as deep in lore and anecdotal history as any garment that gets obsessed over. The classics of early American motorcycling and their distinctly unique British counterparts of the same period. Our Brent jacket is a twist on that, based on an Australian jacket of the 1950s, its idiosyncracies make it familiar but unexpected at the same time.
Made in Kanagawa, just outside of Tokyo, using a veg-tanned black over brown horsehide, as the jacket ages it will uncover brown highlights. With solid brass zippers from Talon Japan and our original print rayon lining, the short blouson-type jacket is meant to be thrown over a tee and jeans, a light layering piece that needs a cafe racer and an empty road.
