Scooter Jackets

 

Scooter Jackets have paralleled the scooter industry itself in popularity, and with roots based in Italian fashion, they exude a distinct continental European flair.

As early as the 1960's the early Italian Vespa scooters became popularized in big part by the British Mod revolution, out of which was born a whole scooter sub culture, and the fashionable Scooter Jacket as defined by its conservative racing style snap collar.

After a long absence, Vespa reentered the American market in 2000, expecting to score with twenty somethings on the lookout for cheap transportation. What they found was a much richer market in the Baby Boomers, who had never really gotten over their childhood fascination with colorful scooters and motorbikes in general.

In today’s world of rising fuel prices, scooters have enjoyed a renaissance of popularity as populations scurry to adapt their lifestyles to 4 and 5 dollar a gallon gasoline.

Not everybody who considers buying a scooter for transportation is your typical Biker type personality. One estimate has as many as 40% of new scooter purchases being made by women.

As more and more of the working class switch to scooters for the daily commute, scooter jackets will follow as a fashionable necessity for warmth, and protection against the elements.

Scooter jackets offer an alternative to the traditional biker look as exemplified by our classic motorcycle jackets. At Biker Leather Ltd, our leather scooter jackets come in a variety of grades and offer the natural protection of leather against the elements and the road, without the bad ass biker look.

Instead, a respectable, conservative style that has become the signature of scooter culture makes our popular scooter jackets suitable for people in all walks of life.

So join the Scooter Revolution! Beat the high cost of gas and have some fun doing it! But always think safety first!
