Raw. Direct. Unfiltered.
This early Aviakit by Lewis Leathers jacket sits closer to the brand’s original purpose — built for riding, not styling. Clean front zip, reinforced panels, no excess. Everything here has a function.
The leather tells the story immediately. Heavy, broken in, visibly worn. High-contact areas show abrasion and fading, giving the jacket a dry, almost matte texture. This isn’t artificial distressing. It’s years of real use.
Shoulder and sleeve panels add structure and protection — a detail rooted in actual motorcycle gear. The fit is compact, slightly boxy, typical for late 80s / early 90s riding jackets.
This is not a clean vintage piece.
It’s the kind you usually don’t find anymore.
A one-off vintage piece. Selected for its character and longevity.
Each piece is unique. No restocks once sold.

Caring for your vintage items:
- Most of our cotton and cotton-blend products can be conveniently machine washed at 40 degrees Celsius. Hand washing is the better option for wool products – machine wash at your own risk!
- Don't forget: Our items have a lifetime behind them and are sometimes more delicate depending on their age and condition. Always keep this in mind before washing them.
- Vintage leather products should be hung in dry places and receive regular care to avoid cracking.
- Important: We assume no responsibility for damage caused by wearing or washing the products.
We rate our products according to the following scale:
- Mint - Flawless, no or barely visible signs of wear
- Great - Clean but worn, with no holes or stains
- Good - Shows signs of wear, small holes or light stains, but overall good condition and nice patina
- Fair - Significant signs of wear, possibly in need of repair (Final Sale)
