With the end of the European road-racing season now upon us, could there be a better way to pay homage to these motorcycling gladiators than by sporting RST’s new Retro Classic jacket? Along with soft supple leather, and a flannelette liner, it’s patched with a stylish IOM TT insignia to mark the manufacturer’s second consecutive year of sponsoring the event. It certainly looks the business, and from my first day wearing it I can tell that its ultra-comfortable design will quickly make it a firm favourite. I’ll report back with a full review to let you know how it holds up during Melbourne’s wintery months ahead.
