The idea was inspired by the leather jacket worn by Johnny, the main character played by Marlon Brando in the 1950s American film "The Wild One."

This film is now said to be the "starting point of post-war motorcycle culture," and was based on an incident that occurred in the late 1940s.

A group of young men who flew fighter planes during World War II, but could not forget the thrill of speed, began riding motorbikes together at high speeds.

The leather jacket worn by the leader in this film was the "double rider's jacket," which remains synonymous with biker fashion to this day.

Those in the vintage world recognized it as a 1950s product made by Durable, and have been planning to reproduce it.

The leather is soft, shiny, and high-quality horsehide.

The majority of vintage jackets that are considered to be masterpieces are made from expensive horsehide.

Horsehide was originally dyed for flight jackets during the war.

In order to reuse the leather, it was re-dyed with black lacquer, and it is now called "brown core" and its value is found in the changes it undergoes over time.

The brown core has also been reproduced, allowing you to experience a more realistic 1950s motorcycle jacket.

Other faithful reproductions include the removable collar boa and the special "double genko" snap buttons used to fasten the collar boa.

Furthermore, we used off-white stitching for the parts that are likely to get sunburned during riding scenes to create a faded look.

In addition, the cuff zippers are specially designed to be "long and facing forward," a characteristic of Durable.

Furthermore, cotton lining is used on the back of the belt and epaulettes to recreate a scene from the movie.

Not only is it perfect for bike riding, but it also promises the highest level of comfort as a leather outerwear.

Please raise it to be your best companion when it matters most.
