Provenance Note:

A 1960s American café racer leather jacket, cut in the pared-down style that became the uniform of a generation of bikers. Jackets like this trace their roots to The Wild One (1953), where Marlon Brando defined the rebel look, and they went on to be worn by outlaw motorcycle clubs across the US through the 50s and 60s. With its slim silhouette, zip pockets, and heavy patina, this piece embodies the authentic spirit of mid-century American biker culture. Later adopted by punks and style-conscious youth in the 1970s, café racer leathers remain some of the most sought-after vintage motorcycle jackets today.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.

We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy. 

We do not take photos of inside the garment.
