The Mudlarker was an update of the late 40’s Roamer wax-coated jacket. Hitting the Lewis range in 1960, the Mudlarker brought some nice new innovations which were designed to tackle the ever-present problems of cold winds and water ingression. The chief problem for motorcyclists, which other brands missed, was how to keep draughts and water from entering the sleeve and the Patented Aviakit double cuff was the answer. Meanwhile, a two-way front zipper allowed the front to be opened from the bottom whilst the rider was seated and a drawstring around the hem kept out drafts. This new version is made of a heavier grade of waxed cotton currently used by other brands.

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.
*Our Mudlarker Jacket Mk2 No.641 are all handmade in the UK, there is a possibility that dimensions may vary by around plus or minus 1cm when compared to our size chart -which should be taken as a guide only.
