Lewis Leathers
Lewis Leathers was founded in 1892 making this its 125 year, the company began its journey in London's Great Portland Street, selling ready-to-wear men's clothing.
Post WW1 it gravitated towards warm clothing for the Aviators and Motorists who frequented the street in its burgeoning new role as centre of the London motor car trade.
WW2 saw the company supplying the RAF and, in the absence of civilian pilots, concentrated on clothing for motorcyclists.
Post WW2 the company increasingly catered to their two-wheeled clients and became known as the most famous motorcycle clothing brand in the UK, if not the world.
