[~ 70's] Vintage Lewis Leathers Red Leather Riders Jacket Size.40 "EUROPE"

In the estimated 70's, it will be the "Red Leather Riders Jacket" made by Lewis Leathers.

It is the arrival of special items.

Lewis Leathers was founded in 1892 on the Great Portland Street in London, founded by the founder "David Lewis Isaacs". Wear brand.

At first it was "D. Lewis LTD", but it was the current brand name in the 1960s.It has been changed to Lewis Leathers.

At present, I think it is famous for the rider's jacket, but it is said that it was initially started to make protective clothing for clothing tailoring and a gentleman auto sports, a protective clothing for flying and motivation.

In 1926, we began to manufacture clothing specializing in motorcycle racing.
At that time, in order to respond to the demand of the air industry, we began providing leatherwear with excellent heat retention that could withstand the extreme cold of the cockpit, and during World War II, the British Air Force (Royal Air Force). He also supplied flying suits and flight jackets.

"Aviakit", a Lewis Lesas wing logo mark, is a coined word that adds "Aviation", which refers to the meaning of aerona and "Kit".

In the 1950s and 1960s, the race world world champion was wearing Lewis Lessas, which became explosive.
At the same time, the Rockers culture became a major movement in the UK, and became widely used as their classic items.

Among the Lewis Lessers, the models of the 1960s and 1970s are highly evaluated as the "origin" of the Lewis Lesas Jacket, and are traded at high prices in the market.

It is one of the rare models, "EUROPE (Europe)", from such a Lewis Lessas.

I think you can see "Cyclone" and "Lightning", which are also the representative models of Lewis Leathers, in the market, but I don't think we'll see this model.

Europe is a model released at the same time as "Electra (Electra)" and "Cyclone", which has a common image in 1973.

Although it is a very similar detail to the model "Cyclone", which is praised for the completed balance in modern times, there are straight stitch pads in the shoulder elbow, and the sleeve itself has a switching line. And, a slightly different details are characteristic.

These details emphasize a more straight line and a stylish appearance.

In addition, it is a so -called "double rider" specification, which was extremely popular, mainly in the UK Rockers in the 1960s, and is designed with three -dimensional and forward sleeves, assuming riding in a forward leaning posture.

The width is vertical and slim, and the adjuster belt on the hem is also located on both sides.
The fitting that can not be experienced in Amejan is also the charm of Longjan that the United Kingdom is proud of.

The previous match is a zip -up type by zip fastener.
The zip slider uses a "opti" zip.

On the left chest, ""Includes an elliptical oval patch engraved with "Lewis Leathers" and "AVIAKIT".
In 1966, a rectangular square patch was introduced for the first time, continuing to be adopted until around 1973, later, and moved to an oval patch used by this individual.

On the inside of the neck is a so -called "white tag" found in individuals in the 1970s.
There is a "Genuine Leather" notation under the brand name "Lewis Leathers", so I guess it's probably one in the late 1970s.

For doughHorseHide " Used luxuriously.

What is a hosehide (horse leather)?It refers to the leather that can be removed from an adult horse, and as a feature, there are disadvantages that the density of fiber is low and the strength is not high, but the luster and texture of the leather cannot be reached.
The price of the leather itself is more expensive than other leather.

Regarding the hosehide, I think that the leather quality at the beginning is hard and difficult to wear, but since it is softly finished as you wear it, you can enjoy aging and create your own first place. I think it's a leather. 

The color is a rare red color.

While there are overwhelmingly many black colors, the good color like this individual is a symbol of Lewis Lesas, and the price is so low that the number of balls is low at a stretch.

The highly evaluated Lewis Lesas Jacket is a rare arche vapite that you can not find even if you look for it.

We recommend that you wear it as a rider's jacket, which is the original user use, as well as town use as a fashion item.

The size notation is "40"
If it is a Japanese size, I think it corresponds to "M ~ L".

Even if you look at the actual size, I think that it is a golden size that suits the Japanese body type, so I think that it can be worn by people with a wide range of body.
By all means, like a rider's jacket, I want you to wear it in just size.

Although there is a feeling of use such as dirt, rubbing, scratches, snap button damage, etc., there are no major damage that has a problem with wearing, so I think it can still be worn.

Among the Vintage Lewis Leathers, the rare model "EUROPE"
A rider's jacket of Lewis Leathers that you want to get once in a lifetime, where Han's romantic is clogged.

In particular, I think that individuals tailored with red color leather are overwhelmingly low and rare.
