Bronx Jacket No. 384
|
You’ve seen them everywhere; The Bronx is Britain’s most popular leather jacket. It’s a Lewis original, designed and pioneered by Lewis Leathers in England. You’ll like the heavy quality black leather and luxurious quilted scarlet lining and the double-breasted front to keep you warm even on the worst of journeys. There are enough pockets for all your odds and ends and an adjustable built-in half belt with leather covered buckle to maintain a snug fit. |

The Bronx first appeared in 1956 and set the standard for British motorcycle jackets for the next 30 years. The design was based on D Lewis flying jackets from the 1920s and updated for the Cafe Racer riding style popular in the mid 50’s. *The expandable back allowed for a forward-riding position (see photo below), the leather coated buckle prevented scratches to petrol tanks, and the styling was something that youthful British motorcyclists adopted as the ultimate Ton Up jacket. The Bronx: King of the Highway!
