Best Clean, Simple Motorcycle Jacket
Alpinestars Oscar Monty Leather Jacket
Alpinestars is known for high-tech motorcycle racing gear. And the firm’s new Oscar series borrows the safety technology developed by the Italian company during decades of involvement in two-wheel competition. The collection’s Monty jacket, though, looks vintage and timeless thanks to special detailing, trims, snaps, and rivets. The clean look of the full-grain leather shell is abrasion-resistant. It’s also washed and wax-treated for style. Perforations on the sleeves and the torso aid in venting and comfort. Underneath, CE-certified shoulder and elbow armor provide impact protection. And there’s a rear pocket ready-made for the addition of an Alpinestars back protector, which greatly improves safety. The retro style continues on the inside with a removable cotton flannel liner, making the jacket more versatile in warm and cool climates. This is a jacket that doesn’t compromise protection for good looks. [$600; alpinestars.com]
