For those who prefer their style quiet but sharp. The racer — sometimes called the cafe racer — strips the biker jacket down to its essence: a short, clean body, a snap-button band collar and minimal hardware. The result is a jacket that works as easily with a shirt as with a tee. Ours are cut slim from genuine leather that moulds to your shape within weeks. Understated, precise, and endlessly wearable.

Frequently asked questions

What is a racer (cafe racer) jacket?

A minimalist motorcycle jacket with a short body, snap-button band collar and almost no hardware. It takes the biker silhouette and strips it to its essentials.

What's the difference between a racer and a biker jacket?

The biker has an asymmetric zip, lapels and more hardware; the racer has a clean snap collar and minimal detailing. The racer is subtler and easier to dress up.

How should a racer jacket fit?

Slim and short — it should sit close to the body and end at the belt. Because the design is so minimal, precise fit matters more than with any other style.

Can you wear a racer jacket formally?

It works well in smart-casual settings — over a shirt with dark trousers, for example. Its clean lines read sharper than a biker's.
