The "Racing Green" Heritage Cafe Racer – Hand-Burnished Vintage Leathe

A jacket for the man who doesn't follow the crowd.
Most leather jackets stick to the safety of black and brown. We created the Racing Green Cafe Racer for those who want something with a bit more soul. The deep, forest-green hide isn’t just a flat color; our artisans hand-burnish the leather to create a vintage patina that looks like it’s already traveled a thousand miles. It’s a "statement neutral"—a rare shade that stands out but still feels grounded and timeless.

Classic 1960s grit, refined for today.
We took the rebellious, lean silhouette of the London cafe racer scene and updated the fit. It’s aerodynamic and tough, but we’ve tapered the cut so it feels as right on a street in New York as it does on a vintage bike. The waxy, top-grain leather has a weight and a depth to it that you simply don’t find in mass-produced fashion.

Why this piece is different:

Hand-Finished Forest Green: Because we burnish the leather by hand, no two jackets are identical. The color has a natural "smoke" effect at the seams, giving it a storied, antique look from the first day you put it on.
Quilted Diamond Shoulders: We added reinforced, diamond-stitched padding on the shoulders. It’s a nod to traditional biker protection that adds a nice bit of structural detail and masculine edge.
The Signature Snap Collar: The clean, snap-tab mandarin collar stays out of your way and keeps the profile sharp. It’s the hallmark of a true cafe racer.
Four-Pocket Utility: You have two zippered chest pockets and two hand pockets. We used heavy-duty brass-tone zippers because they have an earthy warmth that perfectly complements the deep green leather.
Custom Waist Adjusters: Everyone’s fit is different. The side-buckle tabs at the hem allow you to pull the jacket in for a more tailored, "v-shape" silhouette.
Top-Grain Waxy Texture: We used a high-quality hide with a slightly waxy finish. It’s water-resistant and develops a beautiful, personalized character as it ages.

How to wear it

Don't be intimidated by the green—it’s incredibly versatile. It pairs naturally with indigo denim and tan leather boots for a rugged look. If you want to dress it up, layer it over a black turtleneck and charcoal trousers. The dark emerald tones work with almost any neutral color in your closet.

From our workshop to you

We make these in small batches in Pakistan, a region with a leather heritage that spans generations. Because we don't believe in the "fast fashion" model, we can spend more time on the things that matter—like the tension of the stitching and the hand-application of the color. When you buy this jacket, you’re owning a piece of specific craftsmanship.

Keeping the green rich

Leather like this is a living material. To keep it supple and protect the hand-finished color:

Sunlight: Try not to leave it in direct, harsh sunlight for long periods to keep the green from fading.
Conditioning: Every six months, use a quality leather wax or cream. It keeps the hide weather-resistant and prevents it from drying out in cold climates.
Aging: Let the scuffs happen. They add to the "antique" look of the jacket and tell the story of where you’ve been.
