Waxed cotton starts as cotton fabric, but a wax treatment is worked into the material to give it greater resistance to wind and light rain. Speedwear uses this traditional finish across its motorcycle jacket range, including its men’s waxed jackets. 

Our other traditional coats and classic biker jackets are crafted purely as fashion jackets. They are ideal for everyday wear, pub meets, pillion passengers wanting the look, or casual street styling off the bike, but they aren’t built for full road impact protection.

Speedwear Ltd specializes in producing and distributing high-quality waxed cotton and motorcycle-inspired clothing. Their product range includes vintage-style motorcycle jackets, Kevlar riding shirts, and various accessories tailored for motorcycle enthusiasts. The company emphasizes combining classic designs with modern manufacturing techniques to offer both style and functionality. Established in 2013, Speedwear Ltd operates from Birkenhead, Merseyside, UK.

If you’ve been looking at motorcycle jackets for sale, it’s worth thinking about the rest of your riding gear too. The jacket gets most of the attention, but it’s really the whole setup that makes a long day on the bike comfortable.
