I own a Schott cafe racer jacket from late sixties. Pretty cool.

Henry Cole on TV wears a Davida jacket - £300 . I bought one , quality superb and the Davida assistants are nice people to deal with.

Gold Top, can't praise them enough, one pair of their gloves lasted 8 years despatch riding in London and the jacket just gets better with age

How could you miss out Lewis Leathers! Iconic and legendary UK manufacturer.

The omission of Schott cafe racer jackets was egregious.

Goldtop deserve every success for their quality and pricing, an example for Belstaff before they fail completely.

The Goldtop leather looks like a winner here. Price/quality ratio plus Knox armour and the heritage. Beautiful 🤩

Yep, i like all of those despite the high cost of some of them, but quality always shows and you definitely get what you pay for!

Had a pair of Goldtop Racing Stripe cafe racing gloves for couple of years. Very comfortable and hard-wearing at a great price. I would like their 76 jacket, but already have 7 jackets! But then again, I don't like odd numbers 😉👍

Excellent choice of subject matter, and , as usual, very well done. That Goldtop looked like a great bargain as well as them having a wide variety. I still can't decide on a bike (!), but, if I go retro, I'll have one of theirs. Thanks, Tony, I really enjoyed this one - it's certainly a keeper.

My first gear was Lewis Leathers. Nice gear. My suit was a 2-piece.

Thanks for the heads up. Might look at the Gold top range when we come back to Blighty in May or June. Very helpful.

Have to agree with Goldtop being No1, got a bobber jacket and gloves from them and they are every bit as good as gear that's twice the price, no competition in my book.

Ladies, that Gypsy jacket is hawt ... 🔥

Schott should add armour to the perfecto

Gold top bobber is the best jacket I’ve ever owned. Superb quality!

Goldtop for me too. I have their 619 Rebel Jacket and gauntlets. Great design, materials and manufacture, at good prices.

Age of Glory Rocker.... looks a beauty

If you’re a guy with bigger arms and a wide back check out the alpinestars warhorse. A cafe jacket with pockets for chest protectors. Already saved my hide from a topple.

My Rebel jacket by Goldtop is my best one by far and I thought my Rayven was good but Goldtop is better quality in my opinion.

Honored! Thanks!!

They look more like cruiser jackets to me. Be that as it may, why doesn't anyone offer these darn things with vents? I saw the one ladies jacket had them, but only in the rear, WTF? Harley jackets are awfully expensive, but they are about the only ones out there making decently ventilated leather jackets these days. I still have a great Victory jacket I picked up in 2011 when I bought my Vic. It's leather is pretty weathered from a gazillion bug carcasses, rain, and a ton of UV light, but the stitching and zippers are still as good as new. That was a steal at $250 and had the best zippered vents I've ever seen in a leather jacket. I picked up a brown cafe racer jacket with the quilted shoulders last year. It is perforated and continuously vented when not using the liner. I'm not as crazy about that, but it works fine on warmer days and looks good with my British racing green Thruxton.

I have a Scott, full hide, traditional biker leather I bought new in 1989 for £180... I still regularly wear it today. I have "been down the road" a few times in it and it has stood up to it all. It's scuffed, lived in and needs a bit of fettling tbh but I LOVE it and will never part with it. I think Scott are still around and when I want an armoured, modern take on my jacket, they will be my first port of call... p.s My jacket has black plastic zips not metal (metal can freeze up in crap weather and jam). Great insight in your vid, nice to see the state of the game and that Belstaff...HOW MUCH? lol cheers.

Another great company for women's motorcycle jackets is Atwyld and also Wildust or even Eudoxie. Love them all when riding :) I should also mention John Doe, a brand that makes nice motorcycle clothing (even shoes!) for women and men.

Glad I picked up my belstaff cafe racer v2.0..its beautiful.. Yes it cost me a fortune.. But one for life. I guess.

id have swapped the belstaff for lewis , but other than that , great list what i will say is that if your buying any leather jacket it MUST be tried on in person Belstaff fit so slim and small i think they are tailored for racing snakes rather than those of us with a powerfully developed lower chest.

You showed me my new jacket thank you!

Cheers tony gota be a gold top for the money brought a pair of there gloves last year for the summer after watching your review love them too bits did a 2000 mile 7 day tour in them so comfortable a pleasure to wear, Just need to buy a retro bike now for an excuse to buy a jacket lol

Gold top looks gorgeous

Hell me Tony 😷🤧a hot toddie Is in order to rid you of That cold All the best mark 🇬🇧👍🏻

I have a Schott Perfecto 118, but would also mention my Aero Leathers ‘cafe racer’ and ‘Indian ranger’ (horsehide) jackets and my Lost World ‘Speed Demon’ and ‘Easy Ryder’ (horsehide) jackets. These are amongst the best quality heavy leather motorcycle jackets on the planet, in my opinion.

Belstaff the best of them

What were the other movies in this, apart form the obvious Pulp Fiction, Tron Wild One etc

be nice to find a cafe racer same make as what charles bronson wore in the mechanic....so far no luck finding the make

Got the bell-staff trophy leather beautiful jacket xxden

*Revit?*

The Wild One jacket was a Durable One Star, not a Schott Perfecto.

Can slim man wear the Black Arrow Label Gypsy Leather jacket as well? I'm 5'6\168cm, 132 pounds\61kilos, 37 inch chest\94cm I'm usually XS in men sized therefore will a size S of the Gypsy leather jacket fit me properly?

Age of Glory for me. Good video.

Good

Would like to see fashion jackets instead of motorcycle

Belstaff panther

Nice vid, anyone knows the gloves worn by the guy at 3:30? Thanks

No mention of Vanson?

nice review :) - UR

Please stop this crap that "Schott invented the biker jacket" there were jackets just like that before Schott incorporated a new invention, the Zipper. All he did was update an old design with a new gimmic. The motorcycle was invented in 1885, Schott's jacket in 1928. Do you really think bikers were riding around for 40+ years without a coat on? BTW it's been established that Brando's jacket was a "Durable" brand jacket, not a Schott as the zippers and gussets are wrong.

Nice Back in the day you were not a proper Rocker or Ton Up Boy if you didn't have a proper jacket appropriately decorated. and here I'm riding a "retro" style Harley-Davidson Sportster wearing my high tech Textile jacket and pants.😆 On the Wild One it was banned in England at first. I like the jackets in the Fine Young Cannibals video Good Thing, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jcuPbLClza3ep58.html And since its Friday its time for a fish and chips run. Cheers.

Its young women that wear spit thin cheapo "fashion" copies of these jackets now where I live. The blokes are walking around in track suits. Feckin disgrace.

All rubbish. L.L. worth the price.

I don't wanna hear about one more clothing company call out a 5 cent "feature" by emphasizing that it has ykk zipper. Gimme a break. Who cares.

I saw a guy yesterday with a mean leather jacket. I was too embarrassed to asked where he got it. But it was absolutely a beautiful jacket.
