Description

As the Highwayman name is a registered trademark owned by SATH, over the years we always meant to make a proper replica of the original Rivetts jacket and now we are proud to introduce a proper replica using only British manufacturing techniques.

 

There were many subtle variations to the Rivetts version, rather that recreate any one particular example we put all the best features of the 50's originals together to produce the quintessential British Bike Jacket. For our new jacket, we have chosen a soft but thick British Steerhide as standard instead of the Lambskin used on most of the originals which had a rather limited lifespan - but that's about the only concession we've made. And, as our leather closely resembles the sadly missed Connolly hide we used in the 1980s, we are sure everyone will find that a positive rather than a negative.

 

Our version uses ball and chain zippers in the two side pockets and like most versions of the original we've used the same zippers in the cuffs. For a neater look these are fitted in the seam rather than in the more common position in middle of the top sleeve, we've used pronged side buckles in an original 50's design, a proper recreation of the earliest of the original front zippers used by Rivetts which is top stitched in the old British style with the zipper teeth exposed and the classic double stitched collar with a sharp point. The fit of the jacket, although similar to the SATH Highwayman, is based on the Rivetts jacket, it's about 1" shorter than our famous version and is slimmer at the waist.

 

Finally, to pay homage those who grew up wearing a Rivetts Highwayman we've decide to call our recreation "The 59'er Highwayman", 59 in respect of the "59 Club" members for whom a Highwayman was virtually de rigueur and 59 because, we suppose, 1959 was probably the heyday of this style.
