NEIGHBORHOOD × Lewis Leathers

Established all the way back in 1892, Lewis Leathers specialises in English-made leather jackets, tailored specifically for the motorcycle crowd. Also sharing a penchant for motorcycles, it’s not surprising that Japanese label NEIGHBORHOOD have chosen Lewis Leathers as a partner for this collaborative capsule collection, to be known as the first instalment of the aptly named Riders Collection. The ROADMASTER jacket uses a black, water-repellent, waxed cotton with a plaid lining for general use. Fitting tighter and designed more for the rider than the walker is the DOMINATOR. Already a popular model amongst Lewis fans, the jacket has been created from a high quality cowhide leather and comes in both a waxy black and similarly toned blue colorway.
