DESCRIPTION AND INSPIRATIONS
It’s the kind of leather we’ve always dreamed of... A bit of GP heritage, a touch of Western flair, and a whole lot of AMERICAN VINTAGE SPIRIT — that’s what brought the “Stars & Stripes” jacket to life. An exceptional piece, through and through.
THE STYLE : Vintage Racing. We drew directly from old-school GP motorbike jackets — those multicoloured leathers with oversized stitched logos have always fascinated us. Back in the day, these jackets featured bold colour panels that gave them an unmistakable look. True vintage gems that now sell like collector’s items, often covered in big embroidered or appliqué sponsor logos from the era : MARLBORO, LUCKY STRIKE, CASTROL... An aesthetic rich in symbolism, long gone but deeply nostalgic — and one we couldn’t resist revisiting in our own way.
THE COLOURS : If you know us, you know that vintage style and seventies colour palettes are right up our street. We were inspired by that classic Steve McQueen energy — and even more so, for the insiders, by the seriously stylish heroine Julie Wood. The real challenge? Fusing Vintage Racing vibes with bold 70s colours and the chromatic punch of that era. The result : a two-tone jacket in khaki and cream, with high-contrast appliqué logos to top it off.
THE CUT : Of course, we needed a feminine fit. And since those original GP jackets were built for men — wide, boxy, and far from flattering — we went looking elsewhere for inspiration. Straight into another Wildust favourite : the Wild West and those classic cowgirl jackets. The fitted shape, the stitched stars on the sleeves and back — those details are 100% Western-rooted. Just like we can’t resist star-shaped buckles or a good pair of boots, we had to give this jacket a neo-country twist that instantly took us on a ride.
