Iconic motorcycle brand Harley-Davidson has teamed up with luxury menswear designer Todd Synder to drop an exclusive new clothing collection that draws inspiration directly from the Harley-Davidson's archives.
The one-of-a-kind capsule captures the spirit of old-school motorbike culture, borrowing elements from Harley-Davidson's workwear and leather jacket designs. Pieces lifted directly from the brand's archives include a black-and-white racing flag t-shirt, a black logo-adorned cardigan, and a raglan sleeved baseball tee. Elsewhere, notable new items include a black and orange paneled jacket, white cotton racer jumpsuits, and a variety of embroidered sweaters.
“Harley launched their first catalog in 1912 to sell parts, accessories, and apparel. I was really inspired by the technical gear – racing sweaters that reminded me of vintage football jerseys – and the graphics, some which were over a century old and others from the Sixties and Seventies," said Snyder
