Rad gifts for rad – cafe racing – dads
Café racing was born in England’s streets during the 1950s, but it remains as a favored pursuit among its enthusiastic devotees around the globe. We’re huge cafe racer fans here and are always searching for new riding gear that suits the same aesthetic as the bikes we love. We’ve pulled together a few of our recent favorites that would make for perfect gifts for the café racing dads in your life.
- The Alpinestars Charlie Pant
Fabricated from heavy dark-wash denim material, the Charlie Pant features a slim tapered fit and extra-long front pockets. Removable CE-certified protectors and Aramidic fiber reinforcements in the knees and seat make it a great choice for both its protection and vintage appeal.
- The Alpinestars Brera Air Motorcycle Jacket
The Brera Air is an Alpinestars riding jacket made with ventilated front, back and sleeve panels, plenty of zippered pockets, and CE-certified, removable shoulder and elbow protectors. It’s also crafted with both a sleek, form-fitting retro style and top-notch protection abrasion-resistant finish. Dad will look cool on his café racer in either basic black or deep rich brown full-grain leather.
