1970s–1980s | TT Leathers | Racing Motorcycle Jacket | Red & Black – M

Description:

Item: Heavy leather motorcycle racing jacket by TT Leathers, constructed in black leather with red quilted shoulder panels and contrast chest striping. Features full zip front, padded racing collar, multiple zip pockets, waist adjusters and reinforced panel construction throughout. Built as a genuine protective riding jacket with strong motorsport styling and substantial weight, typical of late-70s to early-80s British motorcycle gear.

Era: 1970s–1980s

Brand: TT Leathers

Condition: Good vintage condition with honest signs of wear. Leather remains supple and strong with natural creasing and surface character from use. Quilted panels are intact, stitching is secure and zips function correctly. Wear is consistent with a jacket that has been properly ridden in rather than stored.

Provenance Note:
This is real motorcycle equipment, not fashion leatherwear. TT Leathers were built for riders, racers and road use, designed to protect and perform rather than to look pristine. Jackets like this were worn hard, exposed to weather, speed and repetition, which is why surviving examples carry such visual authority. The creasing, grain and surface wear are part of its working history, earned through movement and miles rather than artificial distressing. It represents a period when motorcycle clothing was purely functional, and that authenticity is exactly what gives pieces like this their power today.

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.
