Step back into the pre-war era with the HALF-ZIP MOTORCYCLE JERSEY, a stylish blend of vintage and functionality. Crafted from durable 100% cotton with a heavy jersey texture, this jersey features a distinctive two-tone design for enhanced visibility. The custom stainless steel zipper not only offers versatility but also shields against wind. Adorned with classic felt applique branding, it pays homage to motorcycle racing heritage. Perfect for enthusiasts and casual wear alike.
From the brand: In the pre-war era and prior to the adoption of leather jackets, knitted jerseys were standard equipment for motorcycle races.
After the
wide
adoption of zips in the 1930s,
the two-tone Turtlezip Sweater was introduced
to motorcycle outfitters' catalogues. Although solid examples were available, the two-tone design improved the visibility of riders and provided more opportunities for team colours. The black and off-white combination seen here was popular with several prominent teams and an example was part of Steve McQueen’s personal collection.
The HALF-ZIP MOTORCYCLE JERSEY features a zipper that runs up to the top of the collar for wind resistance and versatility
, as well as
a soft but heavy cotton jersey for durability and comfort.
The ‘Buco Products’ lettering
is felt
applique, true to the original application.
100% cotton
Custom ‘McCoy’ Stainless steel zipper
Cotton sewing thread construction
