Petrol. Rock ‘n Roll. Leather Jackets

World-famous singer-songwriter Billy Joel shows off the custom Union Jack Ace liner of his Hammersmith jacket.

Combining motorcycle functionality with fashion-forward designs, Ace Cafe Orlando is excited to announce a full line-up of leather jackets for both men and women. Classic and comfortable, these leathers pay homage to the iconic London-based motor-diner, which has served as a beacon to motorcyclists and rockers alike for decades, and contributed greatly to the cafe racer culture.

“The Ace Cafe has become a global cultural phenomenon over the course of its 79-year history,” explains Mark McKee, chief gear head of Ace Cafe North America has never offered a full apparel line in its 76-year history. “Leather is a key part of the motorcycle story — especially the cafe racer story — so we are bringing six new leather jacket styles to market here in North America in conjunction with the opening of our first U.S. location.”

Named after a historic neighborhood just off the A4 motorway in London where “doing the ton” helped to create the cafe racer movement, the Hammersmith jacket is the hallmark – and the first release – of the Ace Cafe Leather Collection.

Retro-inspired, neo-designed Hammersmith leather jacket by Ace Cafe London 2017.

Blending the best features of a traditional Naval Pea Coat with a classic motorcycle jacket, the Hammersmith is made from full-weight, 1.2mm drum-dyed top grain cowhide. Since it is a riding jacket first and a fashion statement second, the cafe racer-positioned sleeves are rotated 15 degrees forward at the shoulder; the dropped back offers full coverage for all riding positions, and armor-friendly pockets are incorporated at the joints and back. Zip-up collars offer full wind protection when doing the ton. The Hammersmith’s Union Jack lining even offers zippered access so that wearers can personalize the jacket with their own unique combination of patches, pins, and studs.
