- Designed in homage to one of the greatest café racer jackets ever made, The Raider British Racer is based on a series of jackets from Brimaco (or British Mfg. Co.) of Montreal. David Himel personally interviewed the descendants of the original manufacturer several years ago—the company began around 1895, making it a lesser-known contemporary of legendary brands like Beck and Buco.
Available in black pigment finished Shinki horsehide, The Raider is more than tough enough for use as a rider's jacket, and more than stylish enough for day-to-day wear. The teacore leather will wear through to a gorgeous vintage patina, and the oldstock zippers are far more durable than the ones manufactured today.
