Description
The Double Rider Jacket is a bold and edgy style of leather jacket that is synonymous with rebellious, rock 'n' roll fashion. It's closely related to the Biker Jacket, but typically has a more relaxed fit and added detailing. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its key features, history, and how to wear it:
Key Features:
- Asymmetrical Zipper: The hallmark of a double rider jacket is its asymmetrical front zipper, which creates a distinctive diagonal line across the chest. This design provides a unique look while offering functional comfort for motorcyclists.
- Wide Lapels: Double rider jackets often have large, wide lapels that can be snapped down or left loose, contributing to its rugged, statement-making appearance.
- Multiple Pockets: Typically, this style features several zippered pockets on the front, including chest and side pockets, often designed to be easily accessible while riding.
- Epaulets and Straps: Many double rider jackets feature epaulets (shoulder straps) and sometimes additional buckle straps on the sides or waist, enhancing its tough, military-inspired aesthetic.
- Belted Waist: A defining feature is the waist belt, often included to help the wearer adjust the fit and secure the jacket while riding.
- Relaxed Fit: While still a form-fitting jacket, the double rider tends to have a slightly roomier cut than the more streamlined Café Racer style, making it more comfortable for layering.
- Heavy Leather: The double rider jacket is traditionally made from thick, durable leather, designed to offer protection for motorcyclists. Modern versions often balance protection with comfort for casual wear.
