It's actually very reminiscing of the German 50's - 80's leather jacket style. Many German made MC jackets, be it cross zips or cafe racer styles were made in a combination of black and red leather, like that and they were for the most part beautiful jackets. Actually, not even the wildest stuff the Japanese brands are coming up with today can touch some of those cool 70's German motorcycle jackets. Shame this all is slowly disappearing... I've been meaning to make a small collection of German motorcycle leather jacket classics but it's tough to come by them.
Good point.... I remember being struck by the lurid, Hulk-green leathers the motorcycle police were wearing the first time I visited Berlin (1999) - not sure if they're still current.
