Description
After from the military and sportswear, one of menswear’s biggest influences is the automotive world – motorbike jackets and racer leather jackets. Bring the two together and wrap them in leather and what you have is the racer jacket.
On returning home from World War II, many soldiers caught the bug for souping-up pre-war motorbikes to be raced them between local pubs and cafes, creating the need for a streamlined, minimalist leather racing jacket. Heavy horsehide and a strong main zipper was deemed to provide enough protection for the boy racers, and by the 1960s the style otherwise known as the Cafe Racer had gone mainstream.
This one’s easy to wear and flatters the body says Furat Leathers. It’s great for showcasing broad shoulders, or you can opt for a thicker leather if you have more of a slight body shape to accentuate what you don’t have.
