What is the ” Surprising Origin of the Riders Jacket ” that every man should know?

Riders’ jackets, as the name suggests, have a strong image of being leather jackets for bikers, but in fact, riders’ jackets did not exist at the beginning of the 20th century when motorcycles were introduced. The origin of the jacket can be traced back to the flight jacket, which was created as a button-fastening type of leather coat to protect pilots from the cold after the Wright Brothers’ first successful flight in 1903. The theory is that this leather coat and the leather flight jacket developed in the 1930s gradually spread to motorcyclists. In other words, it can be said that riders’ jackets and airplane pilots’ jackets are inseparably linked.

Tight size is good for both single and double

Basically, both single and double rider’s jackets are considered to look good when worn in a compact and tight size.
