MOTORCYCLE JACKET

 

From ANACHRONORM 3rd COLLECTION
"AN117, AN117-W, AN117-D MOTERCYCLE JACKET" has been released.
We will feature how we reproduced the Swedish army motorcycle jacket, which was the base item.
■ Swedish Army "Motorcycle Jacket"
A jacket worn by the Swedish Army's motorcycle corps (motorcycle soldiers who acted as messengers during wartime) around the 1960s to 1970s.
This is a masterpiece with excellent functionality and design, incorporating various details such as a short length that does not interfere with riding a motorcycle, an asymmetrical front structure to prevent wind from entering, an adjuster belt at the hem, and large buttons that can be attached and detached even while wearing gloves.
Please see the comparison between the base item and the item reproduced by ANACHRONORM.

 

・・・MATERIAL・・・

While the base item uses thick cotton canvas, ANACHRONORM uses indigo random herringbone with a moderate softness to make use of the silhouette and create a drape when worn. By also removing the boa at the neck, it can be worn all season.

We use deadstock fabric specially produced at the time the brand was established.

You can enjoy the aging process with each wear.

・・・DETAILS・・・

While faithfully reproducing the details of the base, we simplified the buttons to snap buttons, enabling smooth opening and closing of pockets and easy on/off.

We also made subtle adjustments, such as changing the pocket size for better balance.

The wide cuffs designed for wearing gloves are adopted as is,

and for town use, the cuff adjustment button has been simplified to one.

・・・SILHOUETTE・・・

Taking advantage of its characteristic short length and wide body, we made overall fine adjustments to ensure comfort and the chosen fabric texture.

Please see the comparison of the items in the worn images.

 

Furthermore, the asymmetrical front allows for various styles depending on how the buttons are fastened.

Style

We invite you to enjoy this piece, which has been brushed up in typical ANACHRONORM style,

all year round.
