A biker jacket that marries vintage racing heritage with modern edge

The NITRO BARCELONA in Forest Green is a leather jacket crafted from supple sheep leather, designed for those who appreciate the raw spirit of motorcycle culture. Its matte finish and textured shoulders give it an aged, lived-in look right out of the box, while the six embroidered patches—inspired by retro racing circuits—add a layer of authenticity. The jacket’s straight, regular cut ensures a comfortable fit, whether you’re riding through the city or stepping out for a casual evening.

Built for movement and style

With a weight of just 1 kg, this jacket strikes a balance between durability and wearability. The full-length zip closure and four zippered pockets (two side and two front) offer practicality without compromising on aesthetics. The round collar, a nod to classic biker designs, frames the neckline neatly, while the long sleeves and straight silhouette provide a timeless silhouette. The polyester lining ensures a smooth interior, making it easy to layer over lightweight knits or T-shirts.

Versatile enough for every season

While the NITRO BARCELONA is designed with motorcyclists in mind, its adaptable style makes it a versatile addition to any wardrobe. The absence of fur lining means it can be worn comfortably in milder weather, while the sheep leather’s natural breathability prevents overheating. Pair it with jeans and boots for a rugged look, or throw it over a hoodie for a contemporary twist on streetwear. Its Forest Green hue adds a subtle depth, making it a standout piece that doesn’t shout for attention.
