British motorcycle clothing imprint Lewis Leathers has a rich history, dating all the way back to the late 19th century, and now it works alongside COMME des GARÇONS on the new special Lightning Tight Fit Jacket. The imprint has been specializing in leather jacket designs for 130 years, and the new vintage look does not fall short at all.
It is designed by Rei Kawakubo herself, the founder and designer of COMME des GARÇONS. The jacket starts off with a glossy black leather body, and attached to it are white leather sleeves. It is detailed with metallic silver details by the zippers and buckles, as well as the aviation-themed badges. The lining is quilted with red fabric and has an AVIAKIT label stitched onto the upper back.
