Merlin have carved themselves a reputation for producing the very best in new vintage motorcycle clothing, using premium materials and delivering and incredible quality. The Merlin Tewkesbury Jacket is an exceptionally stylish retro motorcycle jacket with the benefits of modern protective elements. Perfect for cruiser bikers, classic bikers and those looking for something more stylish that the traditional textile or leather motorcycle jackets.
The Tewkesbury Jacket features a combination construction for styling and safety. As with many Merlin motorcycle jackets, Merlin utilises the finest wax cotton provided by Halley Stevensons of Scotland to bring you the very best in technical wax cotton motorcycle clothing. This traditional wax cotton by Halley Stevensons is paired with a Cotec technical fabric for increased strength and durability, meaning that the Merlin Tewkesbury Jacket easily passes CE clothing requirements and meets the AA standard, giving you peace of mind that you’ll be protected from the road surface should the worst occur.
Beneath the surface of this wax cotton jacket lies CE approved armour, designed to help reduce the transferral of impact energy to your body beneath for additional protection in accident scenarios. Merlin’s commitment to using the very best in materials has seen the utilise D30 low profile armour to provide incredible impact protection without adding any unnecessary bulk to your new Merlin jacket. This low-profile armour can be found at the elbows and shoulders as standard, with a back protector pocket within the jacket that is ready to house the recommended D30 Viper Stealth back protector, which is available to purchase separately.
Whilst the Merlin Tewkesbury Jacket doesn’t feature a built in waterproof membrane, the exterior of this classic motorcycle jacket features a lightly waxed finish that offers water repellence at the outer, helping to significantly minimise the transferal of moisture into the jacket. A double layer storm flap which covers the central zipper helps to eliminate any chances of water penetrating beyond the YKK central closure zipper for additional protection from the elements
The exterior of the jacket also features diamond stitched detailing at the shoulders, reminiscent of vintage motorcycle clothing and café racer culture which has seen a major resurgence in recent years. Within the jacket, you’ll also find a 70g fixed tartan interior lining with a soft premium finish that feels wonderful against the skin, making the Merlin Tewkesbury Jacket a welcoming place to spend the day.
The inclusion of multiple storage opportunities makes storing your motorcycle essentials easy. Four large box pockets as well as two zipped handwarmer pockets provide ample storage potential for your wallet, keys, gloves and more while out on the road. Additional storage comes in the form of a zipped interior pocket for your mobile phone as well as a large rear storage pocket for storing larger items such as documentation, maps or even a pair of tightly rolled waterproofs if the weather looks questionable.
Riders can easily adjust their new Merlin Tewkesbury Jacket to suit their unique body shape with the use of press stud adjustments at the biceps and forearms, which use a vintage style press stud that suits the classic motorcycle jacket aesthetic perfectly. Within the jacket is a elasticated draw string cord which can tighten the jacket at the waist, allowing the rider to tailor the fit of the jacket. Additionally, small relief zippers at the waist helps open the lower hem when riding, relieved some of the pressure when the jacket is closed, a welcomed feature for all riders.
