The Wild One - Moto Jacket




Photos by GRN Photography

The original Ramones was designed in 1928 by Irving Schott. Thick horse leather jacket had a characteristic zip to protect a motorcyclist from the wind. The jacket was popularized by movie stars like Marlon Brando, who played Johnny Strabler in The Wild One. Ramones Jacket had become a symbol of rebellion and for a while, it was prohibited to wear in many American schools. Other iconic movies that associated Ramones with trouble makers are Grease (1978), Mad Max (1979, 1981, and 1985), and Terminator (1984). Moto Jacket is a must-have item in a modern wardrobe, and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

  1. I love moto jackets! They've always been a favourite of mine because I always loved that greaser style from back in the day (and like in Grease). Great post X
