Dimitri Coste's flat track boots
I have known Dimitri Coste for about a year now. Although we have never met in person, I feel like we are family. The French rider and photographer is a bit of an anomaly while simultaneously straddling the worlds or BMX, moto cross, vintage and performance. He is respected by all of the above worlds and has a keen eye for design. Not only is he maybe the only photographer to have his own shoe,

Gear: Roland Sands Design Diesel gloves
I’d been hankering after a pair of these since Roland Sands’ new clothing range debuted last October. Drawing design inspiration from performance motorcycle gear, the Diesels (and other pieces in the range) manage an unprecedented trick: making motorcycle function genuinely stylish. Then, when we visited RSD on Tuesday to shoot an upcoming episode of RideApart, I managed to snag a pair. Score...

A hotel, a Japanese fashion retailer and a pair of motorcycle gloves
A stylish pair of motorcycle-influenced gloves from two of our favorite brands. They’re a part of a collaborative line designed by The Ace Hotel for Japanese fashion retailer Beams. To make them, The Ace started with Washington-based artisan glove maker Churchill’s iconic Maverick deerskin motorcycle gloves, adding a perforated back and contrasting colors to give these an air of modern functio...

Roland Sands, fast motorcycles and fashion
“Much of what is on the market is either over branded, overpriced, ultra tech or just ugly,” explains Roland Sands of his new apparel line. “We wanted to get back to the basics of what a great motorcycle jacket is. It feels good and looks good both on and off the bike.” Roland’s just released his first line of apparel. It’s heavy on the black leather and light on garish branding. Lik...

Damn, I look good in this jacket
Here’s the first of the jackets we’re modifying to create something that’s actually safe, yet doesn’t make us look like Power Rangers. This is a Vanson AR2 fitted with Alpinestars Bio Armor. The ultra-thick, sturdy leather and strong construction will protect me against abrasion better than just about anything else out there and the high-tech Bio Armor exceeds CE standards by more than dou...

Why can’t we look good when we ride bikes?
Conventional motorcycling wisdom states, “Dress for the crash, not the ride.” But why does being safe have to involve dressing up like a DayGlo sausage, a European hairdresser or a large nylon pillow? Why can Dainese make an airbag racing suit that can tell the difference between a high and low-side crash using a GPS sensor, three gyroscopes and three accelerometers, but not offer a jacket I

75 years of Barbour International celebrated by the 70s
Originally released in 1936 and worn variously since by everyone from Royal Navy submariners to Steve McQueen to the Vincent Owners Club (their official uniform in 1953) to trials riders to me, 2011 marks the 75th anniversary of the Barbour International Jacket. To mark the occasion, Barbour’s releasing a range of retro, distressed and, well, camp special editions. But, free from faux weathering...

Available with armor for the elbows, shoulders and back and made from a very dense, windproof cotton weave, this Rider’s Trench from Japanese motorcycle clothing label Max Fritz is a perfect example of how functional motorcycle clothing can also be stylish.

Alpinestars Harlem boots, for the normal in you
One of the biggest problems most riders have with going ATGATT is the reality of showing up to work looking like a ComiCon nerd, unless you dress like a pirate or even worse, the flamboyantly Eurocentric sixth Power Ranger. While these boots by Alpinestars don't utlilize all the technical advancements found in the company's more sporting options, both the Harlem WP and the mesh-covered Harlem Air ...

Captain America's shades get a remake
While Easy Rider is a cornerstone of American biker lore, we never really cared much for the Captain America chopper. More than anything it was Wyatt's quiet demeanor and sense of style that made such a lasting impression. Similar to McQueen's Tag Heuer Monaco in Le Mans, one of the things Fonda made so iconic in Easy Rider were Wyatt's sunglasses. Available some time in late December, the extreme...
