We reported in last month’s BDN that the revived BSA motorcycle brand had teamed up with fellow Midlanders Merlin to produce a range of casual and protective garments. Now we have more details on items in the new range, including the Liberation leather jacket. Made from 1.2mm cowhide, the Liberation is an AA-rated classic biker jacket with four zipped pockets and diamond-stitched panels on the shoulders. Protective elements include CE level 1 shoulder and elbow armour, plus a pocket to take an optional back protector, while for comfort there is a removable 100g thermal gilet liner plus a waterproof drop liner all topped off with a Marton Mills Tartan liner trim. Obviously the BSA logo is featured throughout, with subtle embroidery and branded silver snaps on the collar and cuffs. It comes in black or brown to fit chest sizes 38-48in for an SRP of £329.99.
