by Troy Siahaan

The Spidi Fandango jacket was born from a partnership with French magazine, Cafe Racer, to produce a cool, modern interpretation of the classic leather biker jacket. Only this time incorporating modern safety and comfort features as well.

Constructed from full-grain 1.1m thick cowhide leather, the Fandango features EN1621.1-certified protectors on the shoulders and elbows, and comes ready to accept an EN1621.1-certified back protector, too. A full-sleeve cotton liner is fitted for rides in cooler temperatures. The Fandango also comes with three front pockets, one glove pocket in the back, one interior pocket, waist adjusters for a more custom fit, and a pant clip to attach the jacket to a set of riding pants.

Another comfort feature besides the waist straps, the Fandango also features articulated shoulders for more range of movement. Blank patches embossed on the chest and sides make for blank canvases to place club patches or other forms of customization.

Available in sizes 46-58, the Fandango comes in any color as long as it’s black and retails for $699.90. For more information, visit www.spidi.com.
