Personal Opinion on Selecting a Rider’s Jacket] Men in their 40s and older should pick up a “real rider’s jacket” and hone their eye for selection!
Riders’ jackets are a staple item of clothing, and are available in a wide range of styles, from luxury items from hardcore and luxury brands such as Lewis Leather to low-priced items from fast-fashion brands. In addition, there are also brands that tend to be dismissed by fashion lovers of the monosyllabic type, such as brands that are completely unknown overseas even though they are foreign brands, but are recognized as popular foreign brands in Japan, and sell well despite their fairly high prices.
It is only my opinion, but as for the riders’ jackets, I think that it is a category that should be strongly conscious of (and if possible, should obtain) genuine goods. For example, ” Lightning ” and ” Cyclone ” by Lewis Leathers, ” New Manila ” by James Groce, “Model B” by Vanson Leathers, and “Model B” by Vanson Leathers. The classic models such as Lewis Leathers’ “Lightning” and “Cyclone,” James Growth’s “New Manila,” Vanson Leathers’ ” Model B,” and Schott’s ” One Star” are expensive, but they are absolute classics, and should be strong candidates. If you are on a tight budget, I personally recommend that you wait until you have enough money to save up, or look for a second-hand model of a classic in good condition.
The author purchased a Lewis Leathers Lightning about 10 years ago and still feels that it will definitely last a lifetime. Lewis Leathers Tokyo, located on Ton-chan Street in Uraharajuku, boasts one of the best selection of leathers in the world, so if you have a chance, please visit the store. <Click here for a Google map of Lewis Leathers Tokyo>.

A man with a stout body type wears a double rider’s jacket in a coquettish way. While this is a very acceptable style, when you are in your 40s, it is important to keep in mind the art of controlling the impression by moderating the awkwardness of the jacket. The man in the snapshot below is over 190 cm tall, with a full barber haircut and beard, but the combination of a blue stole, slacks, and leather shoes reduces the sense of coquettishness.
