Réplique du blouson d'aviateur classique A2 de 1875—Cuir de cheval
Description
Mojave Racing Jacket
A single-rider racing jacket born from desert road culture.
The name comes from the Mojave Desert in California. A rider crossing open country folds down over the tank to cut wind resistance while the rear wheel throws up a long tail of dust into the sky. That road culture, and its stubbornness, is what produced the racing jacket.
This model is built on a period racing jacket from the founder's own collection, with the design thinking of the 1950s café racer laid over it and the pattern substantially reworked. The body is shorter, the shoulders and chest wider — an outline that suits how people are built today, rather than the long, narrow look period pieces often have.
The front stays clean, with a hidden pocket added a little further back. The wool-blend lining carries a large patch pocket on each side, big enough for a phone. The main zip is a double-slider, so it opens from the hem as well — the hem will not bunch while you ride.
Details
Tea-Core Horsehide
The shell is a tea-core horsehide — black at the surface with a brown core left beneath. The more the surface is worn and scuffed, the more the brown shows through and the warmer the character becomes.

- Builds character with scuffing and wear
- Natural grain with aniline-type depth
Re-Proportioned Racing Pattern

Design Philosophy
The racing jacket was forged by road culture itself. In the Mojave Desert, riders crossing open country fold down over the tank to cut wind resistance while the rear wheel throws up a long tail of dust into the sky — stubborn, functional, unadorned. That is where this jacket begins.
For the Mojave, Real Simons started from a period racing jacket in the founder's own collection and laid the design thinking of the 1950s café racer over it. The pattern was then substantially reworked: the body shortened, the shoulders and chest widened — an outline built for how people are made today, rather than the long, narrow silhouette of the originals.
The thinking carries through to how it works: a clean front with a hidden pocket set slightly back, large patch pockets inside the wool-blend lining sized for a phone, and a double-slider main zip that opens from the hem so the jacket does not bunch when you lean into the ride.
Upgrades & Adjustments
While the design honours the period racing jacket, we have made targeted improvements:
- Re-Proportioned Fit：Shorter body, wider shoulders and chest — a contemporary outline instead of the period long-thin look
- Hidden Front Pocket：Set slightly back so the front stays clean while adding everyday convenience
- Phone-Sized Lining Pockets：Large patch pockets on each side of the wool-blend lining
- Double-Slider Main Zip：Opens from the hem as well — stops the jacket bunching up while riding
- Tea-Core Horsehide：Black surface with a brown core; scuffs and wear bring out warm character
Leather use and maintenance knowledge

- Proper maintenance can extend their service life.When wearing it daily, you should pay attention to protecting the leather surface to prevent scratches by hard or sharp objects, and avoid contact with oil, acidic and alkaline substancesLeather products are strictly prohibited from washing, tumbling and drying, and long-term exposure to the sun.
- If they are wet by rain or moisture, you can use a soft dry cloth to gently wipe off the surface water stains and dry them in a cool and ventilated place. Do not wear before it is completely dryLeather should not be rubbed with water or gasoline, as water will make the leather hard and gasoline will volatilize the oil in the leather and cause it to crackNatural fur/fur collar will have slight curls after long-term wearing or washing.
- Detergents may cause hair loss at some edges, so dry cleaning is recommendedColorless maintenance oil should be applied before changing seasons and storage to prevent leather aging and cracking.
