Description
This style is taken directly from a 1950s original. Originally produced by the Joseph Buegeleisen company in Detroit Michigan the form and cut is one of the most flattering cafe racer designs produced.
Full-piece panels and two zippered chest pockets make the garment look very sleek and business like. The extra body length, with high mounted zip allows the rider to sit down without stressing the garment around the hips, but still keeping the lower back covered when riding.
The garment is lined with custom-made EndZone Twill. This is our own fabric we had produced exclusively, which is an extremely high quality luxurious hard-wearing material, that was originally conceived in the 1940s and used in the production of military flight jackets. It is a cotton-backed rayon fabric that has an incredibly dense weave construction giving it a super-slick handle which allows the garment to slide on and off the body effortlessly.
Cafe racer jackets are designed to be close fitting and as such ideally require a body frame where the chest dimension is at least 5 inches larger than the waist.
‘Simple is beautiful’ perfectly describes this design classic.
