Lewis Leathers have a long tradition of making jackets for the ladies and recently Ben Part, photographer and contributor to Sideburn magazine, did a photoshoot for France's esteemed Cafe Racer magazine using some of our styles. Ben kindly gave us permission to present some of them here.

In recent months we have been working on remaking some of our classic pre mid 1950's jackets, the new range carries the D Lewis Ltd label while the jackets themselves are made to very accurate standards.

Lewis Leathers is currently hosting an exhibition of photographs by Marcus Ross, Editor-in-Chief of Jocks & Nerds website and soon to be magazine. Marcus opted for Lewis Leathers Wearers as his theme and shot a series of photographs here early last December (see earlier blog post).

Lewis Leathers has teamed up with Triumph Motorcycles to produce a range of jackets based on two different styles, the Whitfield and the Rathbone.

 First appearing in 1973, the designers at Lewis Leathers took the Sportsman back to the drawing board and introduced the Super Sportsman as an update of the earlier design.

We will took a stand there and had a terrific two days chatting to friends old and new.

Customers sometimes ask us for information on our leather, sizing, which colours are available, what type of zips we use etc, we appreciate that this is an important consideration for everyone who may be thinking of ordering a jacket, there is already a page on the site carrying this information but, just in case you missed it first time around, we have re-posted it below.

The Road Racer boot (No. 177) made its way into the Lewis Leathers range in 1977. Essentially a reworking of the 178 Racing Boot which had first appeared a decade earlier and which had graced the feet of many top Motorcycle Racers of the day, the Road Racer's main new feature was its quilted front panel which gave added protection for the shin during kickstarts and possible spillages from the bike.
