The Clash Leather Motorcycle Jacket by Roland Sands Design
This is the Clash Leather Motorcycle Jacket from the team at Roland Sands Design. It’s been developed to work just as well as regular street wear or as a protective motorcycle jacket, with removable SAS-TEC flexible shoulder and elbow armor that can be adjusted when you go to ride.
Roland Sands and his team at RSD have made a name for themselves in recent years designing unique jackets and other gear, while building custom motorcycles for some of the world’s biggest manufacturers.
The Clash Jacket is made from 1.0-1.1mm thick full grain cowhide leather, it is hand finished, washed and oiled/waxed, and has a satin polyester lining for extra of comfort.
The jacket has an unusual offset front zipper and quilted accents on the shoulders and lower back. It also has riveted elbows, a cropped snap collar and an aggressive riding fit, with pre-curved turned sleeves, a dropped back length and a relaxed collar opening.
Long before starting his business, Roland Sands started out as a motorcycle racer. He enjoyed a successful career as a professional rider which culminated in his victory in the AMA 250GP National Championship in 1998.
After hanging up his riding leathers, he started RSD, and he’s become a regular on networks like the Discovery Channel thanks to his custom motorcycle build. The range of motorcycle gear and apparel developed by RSD has become a staple in the classic and vintage custom motorcycle world.
The RSD Clash Jacket is available in sizes from SM to 3XL and you can choose from three colourways: Oxblood, Tobacco and Black – we’ve included the Tobacco colourway here
