More and more, apparel companies are realizing that women have become a larger percentage of their customer base, and the ladies need apparel designed to fit them specifically. A great example of this is the Women’s Form Jacket from the Arlen Ness line. This beautiful, high-quality jacket is made from soft lamb leather and comes with a flannel-lined, breathable interior, detailed embroidery and padded elbow panels.
rlen Ness is a legendary name in the custom cruiser pantheon. Before there were television shows like American Chopper or Great Biker Build-Off, Arlen Ness was famous as the undisputed Sultan of the custom world. There are many great custom builders now, but ask any of them who their influences were and they will always mention Arlen Ness.
     Now, in addition to a great heritage of amazing customs and accessories, Arlen Ness has put his name on a line of leather apparel. Arlen Ness leathers are a premium line meant specifically for cruiser riders. Every Arlen Ness jacket exudes quality, comfort and technical features that make it a pleasure to wear and ride with. The leather has a slightly weathered look, is soft and supple with ultra-comfortable interiors and vents. Plus, there are amazing features on different jackets that include technical embroidery, classic metal logos, ribbed elastic panels, multiple pockets, classic metal snaps and buckles and removable and breathable vest liners. And like the legendary Arlen Ness himself, these jackets are defined by classic, unparalleled craftsmanship.
     Just one example of the Arlen Ness line is the Contender Jacket. The Contender jacket is made of high-quality, cowhide leather and comes with a flannel-lined, breathable interior. There are two inner pockets and two front pockets. When the weather is warm, opening the two upper front vents and two middle back vents will allow easy airflow through the Contender jacket. And to set this jacket apart from ordinary looking leather jackets, the Contender has beautiful technical embroidery on the front and back as well as technical rubber badging on back and sleeves. There is also a perfect combination of custom metal snaps and rivets throughout the entire jacket to enhance the custom look and feel. And for added comfort on the road, the Contender has ribbed, elastic panels under both arms. This is a jacket made to look, fit and function for cruiser riders
     And the Arlen Ness line didn’t forget the ladies out there who enjoy riding. The Women’s Form Jacket is made of high-quality, soft lamb leather with a flannel-lined, breathable interior. The Women’s Form features one inner pocket and two front concealed pockets. A close inspection will reveal the amazingly detailed, technical embroidery on both the back and sleeves of this jacket. There is also raised custom piping on the back and sleeves. And for added comfort the Women’s Form jacket has raised, padded panels on the elbows.
     The Contender and the Women’s form jackets are just two examples of the Arlen Ness line of leather apparel. Contact your Drag Specialties or Parts rep today to learn more. It is easy to see that Arlen Ness Leathers will be a big seller everywhere customers demand quality, comfort and style.
