The V Racer Collection: A Timeless Motorcycle Fashion Statement
A History of Café Racer Style
The café racer jacket, with its iconic café racer style collar and press-stud closure, has a rich history rooted in the motorcycle subculture of the 1950s and 1960s. Young enthusiasts, known as "ton-up boys," would race from café to café on weekends, aiming to reach speeds of 100 mph (160 km/h). Practicality and style intertwined in the design of their jackets, with features like self-fabricated channel stitch shoulder reinforcement detailing for durability, off-breast access pockets with riders tilt for ease of access, and two lower pockets with zipped closure for secure storage.

Today, the café racer jacket remains a popular fashion staple, blending classic style with modern functionality. Brands like Belstaff have embraced the heritage of the café racer, offering contemporary interpretations that stay true to the original design. Their V Racer 20 jacket, crafted from premium Cheviot lambskin, features intricate detailing that reflects the craftsmanship of the past.
