Hello Moto: how motorcycle jackets are racing into fashion

Top of my wishlist this autumn is a motorcycle jacket. I don’t own a motorbike; in fact I have never been on a motorbike and in the spirit of making it safely into 2023, nor do I wish to. But I would really like to find a lovely, beaten up motocross jacket, a vintage version of the kind worn by actual racing drivers –replete with bright coloured panels and brand sponsor logos. Not to be confused with the classic black lapelled biker jacket of the sort pedalled by All Saints in the early 2000s, the motocross jacket is a heavy, mandarin collared affair, with sturdy zip and popper collar fastening.
