The E.L.M.C. Summer 2016 line up accurately displays what this classic brand is all about: vintage pieces, replicated to near perfection, made of the highest quality of goods. Part of the Eastman Leather Clothing company, these craftsmen have been creating immensely impressive goods for over 30 years.
The new product line is built with intent and focus. Leather jackets are produced from Italian, premium grade, vegetable tanned aniline Horsehide and available in diverse silhouettes. From the ‘Roadstar,” with a more expected motorcycle fit featuring the crossover lapel and belt function, to the more understated “California,” with limited bells and whistles, there is absolutely a high-quality leather coat for everyone.

On the softer side of things, E.L.M.C. makes vintage-inspired 100% cotton tees that are replicated from the past down to the granular details (like a US Navy contract neck stamp – the original solution before the development of itchy tags) and are made with tube construction, which means most come without side seems.
Since this company is about the whole picture, E.L.M.C. also sells vintage helmets, to safely complete your ultimately stylish riding look, and less mandatory but ultimately appreciated accessories like premium leather belts, wallets, and incredible handcrafted necklaces.
This series was shot by regular Eastman collaborator and well-known motorcycle aficionado & collector Gary Margerum.
