The motorcycle icons I grew up thinking were cool, effortlessly cool—the James Deans and Steve McQueens—weren’t wearing jackets with big, brash logos, multiple colorways, and TPU sliders. They were wearing jackets like the Mulholland, and somewhere along the way, I forgot that.
The problem is, as you grow up, you start to believe big-name brands that look like ‘motorcycle jackets’ are the only ones that’ll truly do the job. And the jackets that look classically cool are often just motorcycle-inspired jackets that have no place protecting you on two wheels.
