1932 Roadster Jacket Moleskin

The classic Roadster Jacket has evolved out of need. It comes from a time when the motorcycle was still used as a means of transportation and was not intended as a pastime. Therefore, the clothing worn by the driver had to meet certain requirements. The jacket had to provide some protection, in a sense, to match everyday clothing. Of course, be “sociable” and of course not restrict the driver in his freedom of movement. That’s why roadster jackets from this time are always slim cut. Of course, since our 1932 Roadster Jacket dates back to this time, it naturally carries these characteristics. It is made of moleskin, also called English leather, which is made of heavy unidirectional brushed cotton satin. Moleskin is a typical workwear fabric because it is very durable. The warp is usually made from twisted heavy yarn while the weft is made from a softer yarn. After weaving, the left side of the fabric is brushed, giving it a soft touch reminiscent of suede.
The jacket is cut close to the body, has an action back and waist tie. Three outer pockets and an inner pocket provide enough space for the little things of everyday life.
