JANE MOTORCYCLES - BROOKLYN, NY

As I'm not a big motorcycle fan but a great coffee lover and as a coffee lover I couldn't resist to enter Jane Motorcycles.

Two years ago Adam Kallen & Alex Dimattio opened Jane Motorcycles @ Grand Street, Brooklyn. this spring they moved to their new location with more space. Jane Motorcycles is a new take on a motorcycle shop. With not just a bike and a helmet but also the perfect motorcycle jacket from Lewis Leather or Belstaff, boots from Red Wing, knits from North Sea Clothing and helmets from Bell.  But.........they serve a great cup of coffee too.

Whenever you are in Brooklyn, NY you have to stop by at

396 Wythe Ave. Brooklyn

THE COLDER DAY HAT-TRICK

Guys, with the colder days ahead, we have to protect our precious hat.

No better way to do so with a tweed cap.

BELSTAFF NOT JUST FOR BIKERS

A genuine British heritage brand.

Belstaff's history can be dated back to 1924, when it was founded by Harry Grosberg in Stoke-on-Trent. The first company to use the now famous 'Wax Cotton', Belstaff originally produced waterproof, breathable garments for both men and women. The phoenix logo which sits on iconic designs such as the Trialmaster was chosen to symbolise continuity and renewal through both good times and bad. Renowned for its legendary jackets, Belstaff's patrons of the past have included motocross prodigy Sammy Miller, the revolutionary Che Guevara, Amelia Earhart and the ‘king of cool’ Steve McQueen. Belstaff's classic belted wax cotton 4-pocket jacket became an instantly recognizable staple on the racetrack and in the city streets.

WAX IN, WAX OUT!

No, I don't refer to a famous line from Karate Kid, but it's all about the comeback of a classic jacket. Was it in the early days just a jacket for hunters and bikers, nowadays you can easily wear it every day, all day.
