Motorcycle jackets do not a badass make.
But they do a handsome figure strike.
And should you be in the market for handsomeness, look no further than 36060, a new capsule collection from Dainese, available now.
You’ve seen Dainese before. They’re an Italian company known for protective jackets and helmets. Top Gear host Richard Hammond wears them, and well.
36060 is their foray into “motorcycle heritage” — as in, full-grain leather jackets, shirting, casual knitwear, etc.
Nice stuff. But still sturdy and more than able to protect you from the elements and the road.
A few items we endorse:
- Harrison Jacket Pelle: A vintage motorcycle leather jacket made from drum-dyed cowhide
- Cooper Motorcycle Shoes: Full-grain cowhide boots with rigid inserts at the heels
- Connery: A classy, earth-tone winter sweater featuring a three-button neck
Plus, some more casual patched-elbow sweaters, goatskin leather gloves, button-up shirts and motorcycle trousers.
And each piece is paired with its ideal Italian mount: be it a vintage bike, cruiser or café racer.
Get out and ride.
