LEWIS LEATHERS
, Lewis Leathers were established in 1892, making them Britain’s oldest motorcycle clothing company. Each of their jackets are handmade and upon ordering they’ll be constructed to your exact measurements.

REISS, , This minimal, racer-style jacket is a great alternative if you don’t quite want to go for the statement biker. With minimal detailing, and a sleek, structured finish, this will work perfectly with dark jeans and Chelsea boots, for a suitable stylish evening look.

BELSTAFF, , Belstaff are masters of rugged outerwear, and this jacket is no exception. This is undoubtedly a lifetime piece, and it’s perfect for winter with its shearling lining and thick nubuck construction. Warning: will require seriously breaking in.

BURBERRY, , Your leather jacket investment piece doesn’t have to be black. A dark navy piece such as this is a stylish alternative, and is arguably more versatile thanks to its softer contrast.
