"Leather jackets can be tricky to get right. Too trend-focused, and it's a thousand-dollar flash in the pan; too trend-agnostic, and you get a museum artifact rather than a wearable piece. AYR nailed the balance on its cleverly named Scrambler jacket, which draws off moto history and sits in the Goldilocks zone between classic and contemporary. I've worn it motorcycling through the Appalachian mountain roads and plan on packing it for an upcoming jaunt to Europe."
"Schott makes the classic moto jacket. This is the one that comes to mind when you think leather jacket, back when Henry Winkler was the Fonz and not our most talented living character actor. The pop culture references are legion: Brando in Wild Bunch, Elvis onstage, Uncle Jesse in Full House. A classic Schott Perfecto does it all, and it remains essentially unchanged today. That's a good thing."
Leather jackets require a balance between trend and timelessness to remain wearable rather than ephemeral or museum-like. AYR's Scrambler achieves that balance by drawing on moto history while remaining contemporary, and the Baby Grand offers a more classic moto option. Schott's Perfecto stands as the archetypal heritage moto jacket with deep pop-culture roots and an enduring, largely unchanged design. Shearling-lined options like Overland's Lance provide genuine warmth while avoiding overt costume aesthetics through refined colorways and linings. Re-issue and bomber styles offer alternative vintage-inspired looks with varied levels of wearability.
