Traditional Leather Motorcycle Jackets

A jacket is the second most important item of clothing to wear when riding a motorcycle. Like a helmet, it should fit snugly without being constricting. You should also tailor your jacket to the conditions you will be riding in. As a general rule, buy the thickest material available to you, as this will provide the best abrasion protection. Traditional leather motorcycle jackets (Think Marlon Brando in "The Wild Ones" ) are a major component of motorcycle protective apparel, and are usually black, with an overlapping front zipper close, usually with epaulets and a belt. We have brown leather jackets in the traditional style here, too.
