The perfected urban motorcycle racer jacket, high waisted, extendable sleeves, air vents, 7 pockets for extra storage with the Malle āPoachers Pouchā and 2 interior pockets for your phone and a GPS headphone port.
Handcrafted with our beautiful British waxed canvas and waterproof internal membrane as standard. Available in 4 colours.
Each quilted section of the garment features double layers of abrasion resistant kevlar and 5 piece British race armour from our armour partner Knox; in the back, shoulders and elbows (all included). The asymmetrical front zip gives this unique motorcycle jacket a distinctively modern look with a nod to the classic style of the 60ās cafe-racer jackets. The high race collar features an adjustable double snap and the jacket has cinch snaps on the waist to increase/reduce the size of the garment for year round riding (with/without layers), like on the original Malle Expedition jacket weāve used our soft performance-suede around the cuffs and collars for supreme comfort.
As the horizons of our adventurers increase, so too do the needs and demands on our designs. Malle products are going further, being pushed harder and need to do more than ever before. No longer will you just see a Malle strapped to a motorcycle on the streets of New York or London. People are taking their Malle kit on full global circumnavigations, across deserts and through Mongolian river crossings. Each piece in the Malle Moto collection is handcrafted from our British Waxed Canvas, Nato Spec. military webbing, with robust and luxurious bridle leather, waterproof membranes, shock absorbent armour, abrasion resistant kevlar and solid-welded brass hardware. Real ingredients for real adventure.
Malle luggage, accessories and apparel are built to last. Our durable natural fabrics, heavy duty stitching, waterproof membranes, impact protection, solid welded-brass hardware and bridle leather will age extremely well, developing a unique patina and bare the wear and tear of an adventurous life.
WAXED CANVAS
Darker colour natural waxed cotton fabrics can fade if left in direct sun light for very long periods of time, this is a part of the ageing process and is something to be cherished. The natural wax in the cotton canvas protects the fabrics from dirt, water and sunlight, so please make sure your Malle is kept in good condition, for a longer and happier life.
LEATHER
To help you keep your bag in perfect condition ā please look after the leather. To maintain waterproofing and a soft feel and bright look, use a high quality leather conditioner, we recommend NikWax and natural beeswax leather conditioners.
SILK
The high quality 14mm natural silk we use for Malle riding scarves etc. should be washed by hand, occasionally.
MERINO WOOL, ALPACA AND NATURAL COTTONS
Merino Wool is a real super-fabric for adventure. The shape of the thread has a ācrimpā that traps air in pockets in the fibre, creating greater insulation against the elements, which also makes it supremely soft and comfortable. Merino Wool is great for regulating body temperature, because of its breathability. It is also moisture wicking and can absorb 30% of its weight in moisture, drawing perspiration away from the skin, whilst still maintaining itās ability to insulate. Better yet, it naturally resists bacteria and prevents odor retention. Itās an easy fabric to wash and look after and holds itās shape really well. Pease see the care instructions on each garment, as a general guide all Merino Wool garments should be washed cold by hand and dried flat.
