Lewis Leathers are featured in the current episode of Cafe Racer TV now showing on the Discovery Channel.

Cafe Racer’s Mike Seate visted LL back in June with a TV crew and filmed for the best part of a day, interviewing Derek and pattern maker Hiro about the history of the company and also what goes into the cutting of a new pattern for one of our jackets. The crew also interviewed some of our friends who braved the rainy weather on the vintage motorcycles…

Every year we collaborate with a few other companies, using our existing patterns and products as a base to create something a bit different, this Autumn saw the latest in an ongoing collaborative series with Dover Street Market in London’s Mayfair. The base for this item is our Mechanic sneaker, Dover St Market’s designer chose felt instead of the usual leather and a heavier toe cap was added to the front of the shoe. All hardware is Black in place of the usual silver.

Following the very successful launch party at Lewis Leathers for the 21st Century Rockers by Horst Friedrichs, here is a short film of the night made by Prestel Publishing:

With their tattoos, leather jackets, slicked-back hair, and beloved British motorbikes — BSAs, Triumphs, Nortons, and Royal Enfields — Rockers are the nemesis and antithesis of the fastidiously groomed Mods. Elvis, James Dean, and Marlon Brando lit the spark and the 59 Club and British Rockers honed the style, making it synonymous with rebellion and sparking a global cult. Friedrichs follows the British rocker tribe as its members congregate in parking lots, pubs, cafes, dance and pool halls, as well as huge gatherings at Jacks Hill and the Ace Café.

Alternating between rich, vibrant colour and gritty black and white, these photographs capture a spirit of unapologetic defiance in clothing as well as attitude, every bit as strong today as it was sixty years ago.

Signed copies of the book are available from Lewis Leathers at £19.99 + £2.50 P&P (UK
