An exclusive collaboration between Britain’s oldest and most venerated leather jacket maker (since 1889) and Japan’s leader in functional and directional carrying gear (since 1962), this limited-edition project is already a collector’s item. Constructed around the attributes of the No. 445 Super Monza (that replaced the original Monza in 1978), the diamond pattern shoulder padding, rugged Clix main zipper, Lightning No. 5 ball and chain pull fasteners (on the pockets) and trademark Lewis Leathers quilted lining, presented here in the Porter Yoshida Co.’s orange, make each piece unique to this collaboration. To pay further homage to the 445 Super Monza Jacket and Lewis Leathers of the 1970s, the hip-bags and wallets have been produced in the three shades taken from an important era in the company’s history known as ‘The Colourful World of Lewis Leathers’ and are available in horse and cow hide – depending on individual item. Pay a visit to our London shop to fully appreciate the quality.
