CR1 Jacket - Horsehide
-
Overview
The 1950s post-war era saw a boom in motorcycling. Many took to motorcycling to find a sense of freedom and independence, thrill seeking, or even giving in to a rebellious streak. The CR1 is a classic design that is sleek, minimalist and stripped of any superfluous ornament. To create the CR1 Jacket, we started with numerous authentic period examples of this style jacket from the 1950s and 60s. From these vintage examples our master pattern and final jacket was created.
We used the finest, select premium, front quarter horsehide to create this jacket. A special tanning method and 3 oz weight were chosen to produce a jacket perfectly suited on a motorcycle, unusually supple unlike the very stiff and unforgiving 3.5-3.75 oz hides, and won't weight you down when you get off your bike and are walking around town. Our select horsehides are superior in tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and durability to any cow and steer hides in heavier weight classes. The CR1 will further break in with use and display its characteristics as unique as the individual who wears it.
Some modern touches were added to our take of this classic style such as wind flap and USN G1 type gusseted bi-swing back. There are 2 interior Napoleon pockets and a durable MILSPEC 5050 NYCO ripstop lining. The CR1 Jacket is available in classic black.
Buy once, cry once, smile for a lifetime. The CR1 is warrantied against manufacturer's defect for the life of the original owner. -
