PETERS BLACK HORSEHIDE JACKET
The amazing eye-candy 1930s-40s PETER TAILORS Art Deco Horsehide Motorcycle Jacket recreated and idealized in all its complexity and drama. Each Peters was custom-made and of the few originals surfaced no two are identical (see pics below). Other Original issue options avail: Snapped Belt Loops. Matching Horsehide Belt available ($275.00). Nickel Waist Snaps.
The Peters is unduplicated in the fascinatingly obscure canon of bygone vintage motorcycle jackets. The extraordinary front almost makes the daunting Leathertogs 'B' seem simple by comparison (yeah, right!), evoking military tunics. Great vintage motorcycle jacket designs like this drip imagination, bravado and individuality, and the Peters is wizard-like in pushing the over-the-top envelope of Baroque devil-may-care design artistry and cojones. Eye-dazzling Deco back, a stylistic and technical tour-de-force of arched sunbeam-like radii flanking an inverted rider's center vent. Speed -- image and ethos. Eros too! Laced Waist. Right Side Zipper Facing. N.O.S. 1940s Mouton Collar (Detachable). 100% Pure Rayon Satin Lining. USA Scovill Snaps. Melamine Cat's Eye Buttons. N.O.S. Vintage Copper Metal Backing Buttons. The Lost Worlds recreation: Benchmark proprietary American Chrome-Tanned correct Horsehide, unmatched for natural grain, water repellency, Superman strength, heirloom permanence. Other-worldly workmanship. Mind-altering fit and detailing. Riding First philosophy -- safety equipment, not swishy 'look at me' fashion wear. Form born of Function -- and what Form!

Functionality -- it's no fun and potentially unsafe as well to snap off a button while riding, so we sew vintage N.O.S. copper backing buttons (visible above). Additional bling too. Details, details, details! The "archaeology" of vintage motorcycle jacket design.
