First Manufacturing Fillmore Jacket

First Manufacturing Fillmore: The Ultimate Retro Performance Jacket

The First Manufacturing Fillmore Jacket is designed for the rider who appreciates the golden era of motorcycling but requires the safety standards of 2026. This jacket captures the essence of the classic “rocker” and café racer culture, featuring signature padded detailing on the shoulders and elbows. Far more than just a stylistic choice, these panels add a secondary layer of leather in high-impact zones, providing enhanced durability. The chassis is constructed from premium 1.1-1.2mm Drum Dyed Cowhide. This tanning process ensures the color penetrates deep into the hide, meaning the jacket will maintain its rich finish even after years of hard riding and exposure to the elements. Whether you are splitting lanes on a vintage triumph or cruising the coast on a modern scrambler, the Fillmore delivers an iconic look backed by heavy-duty protection.

Tactical Utility and Multi-Season Engineering

While the exterior is rooted in the past, the interior of the Fillmore is packed with modern innovations. Like the best jackets in the First Manufacturing lineup, it features dual concealed carry pockets strategically placed for quick access and balanced weight distribution. To ensure the jacket is a true three-season performer, it comes equipped with a full-sleeve, zip-out insulated thermal liner. When the temperature rises, simply remove the liner and open the zippered chest and back vents to create a cooling flow of air through the jacket. The “action back” stretch panels allow for a total range of motion, ensuring that the jacket doesn’t bind or pull when you reach for your bars, making it as comfortable for long-distance touring as it is for a quick city sprint.

Expert Fitment & Maintenance Advice

As specialists in heritage-inspired gear, we recommend the Fillmore for riders who want a “broken-in” feel right out of the box. Pro Tip: Drum-dyed leather is exceptionally supple; however, to maintain that vintage luster, we suggest using a beeswax-based leather cream every season. Fitment Note: The Fillmore has a slightly more tailored “Slim American” fit compared to their traditional club vests. If you are a larger rider or prefer a looser fit, we recommend sizing up by one. Armor Optimization: The jacket is sold “armor ready” but does not include protectors. We suggest adding CE-rated armor to the internal pockets to turn this stylish piece into a full-spec safety garment. Maintenance Note: Avoid using liquid cleaners on drum-dyed leather; instead, wipe with a damp cloth to remove road salt and debris, ensuring the hide stays healthy and strong.
