Made in England from heavy horsehide, it represents the design that has defined British motorcycle culture since 1956. The Bronx was Lewis Leathers' answer to the Cafe Racer era, a jacket built for speed, style, and serious riding that remains in production today to the same exacting standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis example comes from a private purchase and has been seldom worn. The horsehide is substantial throughout, dense and tight-grained Aviakit leather with a deep, rich tone. Horsehide is heavier and more durable than cowhide, developing character and patina over time in a way that other leathers simply don't. This jacket shows minimal wear, retaining the clean surface and crisp lines of a piece that has been carefully kept.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe design is pure function. Double-breasted front for wind protection and warmth. Expandable back panel that allows a forward riding position without restriction. Built-in half belt with leather-covered buckle to cinch the fit and prevent tank scratches. Multiple pockets positioned where you can reach them with gloved hands. Inside, the quilted scarlet lining remains vibrant and intact, a signature detail that marks this as genuine Lewis Leathers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Bronx was based on D Lewis flying jackets from the 1920s, adapted for the youthful motorcyclists who adopted it as the ultimate Ton Up jacket in the mid-1950s. It became the standard for British motorcycle jackets for three decades and continues to be made in England today using traditional methods and premium materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCondition is excellent. The horsehide is strong and supple with no structural issues. The lining is clean and intact. All hardware functions properly. The leather-covered buckle, zips, and snaps show minimal wear. This jacket has been looked after and is ready to develop its character with the next owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eLewis Leathers Bronx jackets in horsehide represent the pinnacle of British motorcycle jacket construction. Horsehide examples command a premium for good reason: the material is superior, the aging process is distinctive, and the end result is a jacket that will outlast its owner. This seldom-worn example offers the opportunity to break in a premium piece from the beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"904\" data-end=\"932\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Identifying Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"934\" data-end=\"1318\"\u003e• Lewis Leathers Bronx motorcycle jacket (Model 384)\u003cbr data-start=\"986\" data-end=\"989\"\u003e• Aviakit horsehide construction\u003cbr data-start=\"1021\" data-end=\"1024\"\u003e• Made in England\u003cbr\u003e• Double-breasted front with zip closure\u003cbr data-start=\"1084\" data-end=\"1087\"\u003e• Quilted scarlet lining\u003cbr data-start=\"1111\" data-end=\"1114\"\u003e• Expandable back panel for forward riding position\u003cbr data-start=\"1165\" data-end=\"1168\"\u003e• Built-in half belt with leather-covered buckle\u003cbr data-start=\"1216\" data-end=\"1219\"\u003e• Multiple external pockets\u003cbr data-start=\"1246\" data-end=\"1249\"\u003e• Clix-zips\u003cbr data-start=\"1279\" data-end=\"1282\"\u003e• Seldom worn, excellent condition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1320\" data-end=\"1356\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGarment Measurements (Laid Flat)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1358\" data-end=\"1556\"\u003e• Chest (armpit to armpit): 22\"\u003cbr data-start=\"1389\" data-end=\"1392\"\u003e• Shoulders (seam to seam): 19\"\u003cbr data-start=\"1423\" data-end=\"1426\"\u003e• Sleeve length (shoulder seam to cuff): 26.5\"\u003cbr data-start=\"1470\" data-end=\"1473\"\u003e• Sleeve length (underarm to cuff): 18.5\"\u003cbr data-start=\"1512\" data-end=\"1515\"\u003e• Back length (collar seam to hem): 25\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1558\" data-end=\"1664\"\u003eBest suited to a 40 chest (Small\/ Medium).
