Made in England from the same premium vegetable-tanned cow leather as our jackets, these stylish yet rugged coin wallets come in a variety of colours and are topped with a Lightning zip. Each case is packed in our traditional Aviakit presentation box. 1/2 lewisleathers.com/coin-wallet.ht…

Please note that the 1966 catalogue shows the jacket with a yoke, which suggests issues with the availability of suitable hides and not a change in design. 3/3 lewisleathers.com/the-corsair-no… lewisleathers.com/the-corsair-no… #lewisleathers #corsair60

Shown here is an example from c.1966, that has been decorated in a late 1960s / early 1970s 'greaser' style (greasers being a countercultural iteration of the British rockers) and a current example of the jacket that matches the original to an impressive degree. 2/3

The Corsair No. 60 as we know it today first appeared in the D. Lewis Catalogue No. 15 (1961). It was shown in most of the catalogues that followed, and has never gone out of production. 1/3 #corsair60 lewisleathers.com/the-corsair-no… lewisleathers.com/the-corsair-no…

The ultimate in style and comfort, the Lightning No. 391 first appeared in the D. Lewis catalogue in 1958 and is still available – unchanged in cut and quality. Available from stock or custom order. 2/2 lewisleathers.com/lightning-no-3…

Appearing in the forthcoming #classicbikemagazine, and #caferacermagazineusa, this homage to the Lightning No. 391 is a reminder of our role as a bridge between the golden era of British motorcycling and modern times. 1/2 lewisleathers.com/lightning-no-3…

Nonetheless, British youth wanted a touch of Brando's swagger and they got it with the Bronx. 10 years after its release, this very functional jacket would become a staple for the rocker and greaser scenes, so well documented by John Keeble in his evocative photographs. 3/3

Although it is described in the catalogue as having an 'American style in cut and trimmings', D. Lewis had already introduced the D-pocket in the early 1930s to flying jackets of the type worn by the test pilot for the Spitfire, Alex Henshaw. 2/3
