TT Leathers International

Founded by acclaimed Enduro rider, Len Thwaites in Barnard Castle, England, TT Leathers International was responsible for some of the most innovative motorcycle protective gear of the ’70s. In addition to their original designs, TT Leathers was responsible for pioneering colored riding suits for the sport of trials in 1973 with their colorful suits that were an alternative to the traditional black leather and waxed cotton options from rival producers. Given that their products were designed to be tough, most of them are still around today and highly sought by collectors and riders today, especially their leather jackets which can still be worn for riding, but also for a casual cool look.
