Twice this week I've noticed blokes wearing a Triumph Motorcycle jacket.

Naturally I ask what they're riding. On both instances I get a cough and a splutter and finally an admission, Oh I don't ride.

Obviously Triumph is now such a cool brand you don't need to ride.

Anyone else noticed similar?

Regards

Hey Sean

You gotto say that alot of the Triumph clothing range is good high quality stuff ! Some of it like the Lewis gear etc looks really fashionable (as if I know anything about fashion unless its from the 70s!! ) and although not cheap stands up strongly against good quality fashion gear so I reckon Triumph are winning over in the fashion stakes as well as winning over the bike community!!
Good on em!

Like I mentioned in another Thread, I just got the newest Triumph Clothing catalog along with this month's Triumph Magazine. Lot's of actual rider clothing, but also LOTS of "Fashion" stuff, as well. If hot chicks start wearing really tight, Triumph-branded clothing as part of their daily fashion, who am I to complain?

Bought my niece a Triumph T for Christmas and she loves it - she wants a bike (when she grows up) but my sister won't let her.

Asked about that Lewis jacket at the weekend.... *cough & splutter* SFr. 1'289.00 ! ! !
I photographed the catalogue - I think that's about as near to one as I'll ever get!


Bloody nice though....

Yeah, I got the US version of the new Triumph Apparel catalog and saw that Lewis Leathers was doing the "Triumph" branded jacket (even started a thread for it). If I had a spare $850 US laying around, I would THINK about it as I'd love to own something by Lewis Leathers, but... there's a lot of other things WAY higher on my wish list.
