Lewis Leathers Corsair (Royal Enfield Collaboration) Size M. SOLD

One of the most directional brands in heritage fashion, the made-in-London company created this stylish Corsair jacket as part of a show at the Royal College of Art in 2010. The show proposed the newly redesign Enfield efi engine and Bullet frame as a stock bike with endless possibilities for customisation – from cafe racer to flat-tracker. Naturally, Lewis Leathers came up with the goods by mixing decades of tradition with a contemporary take on riding. The back graphics were designed to add a little pathos and humour to the garment. A one-off and in good condition.
