Memphis Jacket No. 723


The idea of this jacket was dreamed up in a Tokyo bar between Head Wolf Seiji and Derek, a big fan, who was more than happy to work with Guitar Wolf, Japan’s Greatest Jet Rock ‘n’ Roll band, to produce something special. The result is the resurrection of an un-named early 1960’s jacket from the Lewis Leathers archive. The name was inspired by the home of Rock n Roll and was thus called The Memphis No.723 (after G & W, the 7th & 23rd letters of the alphabet).
Available as a regular-fit model and as a slim-fit model, the jacket is cut from fine Italian Horsehide with our traditional red quilted lining and our exclusive period Lightning and Clix zippers.

We take pride in making our jackets to the exacting specifications of the period in which they originated.
Great care and attention to detail has been taken to maintaining the heritage and integrity of our jackets and patterns, right down to the custom made reproduction zippers and even the linings. Because of this, our jackets do not necessarily live up to the present-day riding safety standards and are not intended to do so.
NOTE
- Sheep leather available only up to chest 50 inches = 127 cm
- Our estimated lead time for custom made jackets is 10 months.
