The historical material of the biker.
The historical material
Leather remains the go-to material for motorcyclists: it offers the best resistance to abrasion in case of a slide on the tarmac, blocks the wind and ages beautifully over time. Calf leather, around one to one and a half millimetres thick, provides a good balance between flexibility and protection. Bison leather, thicker and more robust, is popular for vintage-style jackets, like the Helstons Chuck.

The vest Von Dutch Apache pairs with custom bikes.
Standards and care
Since 2020, motorcycle clothing has been classified according to the EN 17092 standard, from A to AAA based on their level of protection. The presence of certified protectors on the shoulders and elbows is checked, as is the option to add a back protector. The jacket should fit snugly without being tight while in riding position. The leather should be conditioned twice a year with an appropriate balm, and left to dry away from a source of heat.
Good deals
Good bargains can also be found in good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped in 24h are prepared and dispatched within 24 hours. The highlights of the year follow a steady order: the Black Friday in late autumn, the end-of-year festivities, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, then the summer sales and back-to-school period.
Frequently asked questions

Calf leather, about one to one and a half millimetres thick, offers a good balance between flexibility and protection. Bison leather, thicker and more robust, is popular for vintage-style jackets.
How to choose the size of a motorcycle leather jacket?
The jacket should fit snugly to keep the protectors in place in case of a fall, without restricting the arms when reaching for the handlebars. It should be tried on in a riding position; the leather will stretch slightly over time.
Should a leather jacket be certified?
A motorcycle jacket sold as protective gear must be certified according to the European motorcycle clothing standard, with a class indicated on the label. The elbow and shoulder pads must also be certified.
How to maintain a motorcycle leather jacket?
Clean it with a damp cloth, then condition the leather with a suitable cream or balm once or twice a year. After rain, let it dry away from any source of heat to prevent it from hardening.

The café racer jacket, with a short collar and a fitted design, suits neo-retro and roadster bikes. The sporty jacket, more technical, includes a back hump and reinforcements for sports bikes.
