Merlin Icon Leather Jacket in Black / Gold

The Merlin Icon Leather Jacket in Black / Gold is a premium retro motorcycle jacket built for riders who want classic café racer styling, high-end leather construction and serious motorcycle protection. Part of the Merlin Heritage Collection, the Icon blends old-school British motorcycling style with modern CE-certified safety, making it a standout leather riding jacket for road use, weekend rides and everyday wear.

Made from luxurious top-grade 1.2–1.3mm cowhide leather, the Merlin Icon has the quality, weight and feel you would expect from a proper leather motorcycle jacket. The black leather finish is paired with distinctive twin retro gold stripes, diamond quilted shoulder overlays and a classic fold-back collar, giving the jacket a timeless heritage look with unmistakable vintage motorcycle appeal.

This is not just a good-looking jacket. The Merlin Icon Leather Jacket is built with rider comfort and protection in mind. Perforated airflow panels on the front, rear and underarms help improve ventilation when riding, while the 125g detachable thermal gilet lining adds versatility for cooler days. A fixed breathable mesh liner helps keep the jacket comfortable during longer rides.

For protection, the Merlin Icon comes equipped with D3O® Tri-Vented LP1 shoulder and elbow armour, offering lightweight, breathable impact protection without spoiling the jacket’s classic silhouette. A dedicated D3O® back protector pocket allows you to upgrade the jacket with a compatible back protector. The jacket is also certified to CE EN17092-2:2020 Level AAA, the highest CE rating for motorcycle garments.

Practical details include YKK® antique brass-effect external zippers, two zipped lower pockets, multiple internal storage pockets, a sunglasses pouch, earplug pouch, two-point snap stud hem adjustment, belt loop attachment straps and an 8-inch YKK® jacket-to-jean connector zip.

The Merlin Icon Leather Jacket in Black / Gold is ideal for riders looking for a premium leather motorcycle jacket with retro styling, café racer attitude, high-quality cowhide leather and AAA-rated motorcycle protection.
