Question

On the surface, the leather motorcycle jacket is a comparatively simple creation. It comes in two basic designs: The plainer of the two is a single-breasted version with two vertical side pockets and a center zipper. However, Brando, Dean, and a million lookalikes have always favored the more exotic (and original) double-breasted number with asymmetrical front zipper to provide the wearer with a double layer of chest protection, created by the Schott Brothers Leather Company in 1928 and copied ad infinitum ever since. “Grandpa Schott was commissioned by Harley-Davidson to come up with a jacket for bikers—there was nothing made especially for bikers before then,” says Roz Schott, the company’s vice president. Both styles have two short zips on the sleeve that can close the cuffs tight on the wrists to prevent ballooning and protect the arms in a wipeout.
