Why Stylish Waxed Jackets Are a Must for Every Biker

For bikers, stylish waxed jackets are more than just attire; they’re a staple in both style and functionality. From enhancing your look to providing lasting protection, waxed jackets remain essential for every biker. Let's uncover what makes these jackets a must-have for your collection.

Stylish waxed jackets are timeless symbols of individuality. Its rugged charm and versatile nature have made them a staple in fashion industry and generations. Are you considering adding a stylish yet safe biker jacket to your wardrobe?  When investing in a biker jacket, it's crucial to ensure it's well-made and fits properly. But do the same fitting rules apply to waxed cotton jackets as they do to other types of jackets or outerwear?

Identify your style:

Before exploring the variety of biker jackets, it's important to identify your style. Do you lean towards classic leather designs, or are you more inclined to modern interpretations? Knowing your aesthetic preferences will help you narrow down your choices and ensure you pick a jacket that matches your style. If you commute on your motorcycle, a stylish waxed jacket will probably be the right choice for you.

Understanding biker jacket styles:

Before diving into the fit, it's essential to familiarize yourself with different biker jacket styles. Stylish waxed jackets come in various designs, such as the traditional double rider jacket, the racer jacket, and the café racer jacket. Each style has distinct features and origins, so exploring these options will help you find a style that resonates with you.

How should a leather jacket fit?

Waxed cotton might stretch over time! But that doesn’t mean you want a jacket that’s too small! So you want to start with a waxed cotton jacket that is standard in size.  The right fit is crucial for comfort and style. It’s also important to allow room for layers under your waxed jacket. Here are a few specific tips for finding a waxed jacket that fits just right:

Shoulders: unlike suit coats, waxed jackets can extend a few inches down your arm. The jacket could be too small if the shoulder seam sits above your shoulder.

Chest: waxed cotton jackets should fit more comfortably in the chest compared to regular overcoats. Consider the inner wear and ensure you can comfortably zip or button the jacket!

Hem length: the bottom of your waxed cotton jacket should not fall below your belt or the top of your thigh. This is typically shorter than other overcoats!  Remember that waxed cotton jacket that hangs well below the belt is too large.

Sleeve length: the sleeves of a waxed cotton jacket should end at your wrist. Sleeves that extend past your wrist make it look like you're wearing it by borrowing from someone larger.

Check the material:

Choosing waxed cotton surely suits your lifestyle. It can be perfect when it comes to maintenance and aesthetic tastes. They are tear-resistant and very durable and they age stunningly with aesthetically pleasing creases and colour permutations. They are perfect for outdoor clothing and gear, such as bikers jackets. One of the big draws for waxed cotton is that it is a product for life.  If you take care of your waxed cotton garments properly, they will last for years and years. They’re made to timeless styles that never go out of style.

Color palette:

The waxed cotton biker jackets usually come in timeless colours like black and brown. Black jackets exude edginess and versatility, while brown jackets offer a more casual and rugged vibe. Select a colour that accompanies your wardrobe and personal style.

Hardware and detailing:

Consider the hardware details such as zippers, snaps, and buckles. Silver hardware adds a modern edge, while brass hardware gives a vintage touch. The level of detailing can also influence the jacket's overall look, so think about how much embellishment you prefer.

When choosing a waxed jacket, you’re investing in more than just style; you’re investing in a piece of biker culture. For stylish waxed jackets that deliver on both durability and aesthetics, explore Speedwear Ltd high-quality collection today.

Javery Hcssss

hi guysssss! I hope you like these hcs and enjoyed them as much as i liked making them. I took some of the tips. I got from my last post and used to them to make these. Please comment any more ways I can improve. I’m always trying to get better. Thank you.

when jameson first started dating her, she had never received romantic affection, so she had no idea to react to it and just combusted

jamie leaves the biggest and darkest hickeys on her and she sometimes doesn’t even realize until she hears snickering

at a gala, one time avery pulled jameson into the bathroom and they made out until alisa came looking for them, averys red lipstick stained his face and there was no makeup to cover it up causing alisa to just scream at them for like 20 minutes and he walked around the gala with lipstick stains on his face the rest of the night

avery once told jameson what she always wanted her first dance song to be, and a few hours later he called her to help her find her phone and her ringtone for him was that song (in my mind it is timeless by ts but you decide)

she had so much trouble showing jameson just how much she loved him at first, so she would write him letters telling him her feelings, jameson then incorporated some of the things ave wrote in the letters into his wedding vows (she also included some of things he said in his love confession in tfg in her vows (they both started sobbing and no one else knew why))

avery and jamie make each other scrapbooks about things they do together

jameson goes up randomly to ave and takes a 0.5 of her, that photo then becomes his lock screen for the day

whenever the song call me maybe comes on, jamie SCREAMS that song to ave no matter if they are in public or not

they watch disney movies and go to the parks together all the time

sometimes when it rains, they go to a secluded part of the estate and slow dance

they once got food poisoning together from a 3:00 am taco bell run and they held each other while the other threw up

when they were still in school, jamie did theatre and avery was the assistant director just so she could watch jamie preform. he also had to stage kiss and almost dropped out because he felt like he was cheating on ave. she assured him it was fine

jameson once did avery’s makeup and hair and it looked so good people thought it was professionally done

once ave asked jameson what she should get done to her nails, and he responded with something like “rounded square nude french tips” and she just sat there like “how the hell does he know that”

when jamie gives avery one of his jackets, he always pretends like he’s not cold and ave finds it adorable

jamie was once on avery’s phone and read some of the texts she sent max about him (like her absolutely thirsting for him) and he was so surprised because it was a major flip from her usual self

he always opens car doors and pulls out ave’s seat

like i said in my last hc post about them being theatre kids and dressing up like eliza and ham for halloween, he was posting stuff the whole night like “my life is going fine because elliza is in it” and she was posting stuff like “he better say no to this” while he looked over at another girl in a red dress (everyone thought it was adorable and hilarious)

jameson can sketch and draw pretty well, and ave can paint, so they once made a custom chess board

no matter if they admit it or not, they cannot sleep without each other. like if the other is out working late or sum, the one in bed cannot fall asleep.

jamie loves braiding avery’s hair and he even watches tutorials on how to make complex braids so her looks unique. when people ask who/how she did her hair, she responds with an excited “oh! it was jamie, hes the best!” and he just smiles proudly.

they make up very complicated yet super cute handshakes that they do often

they once made a tiktok of them singing promiscuous and the fans went BALLISTIC

avery once waxed jameson’s eyebrows and gave him acrylic nails for fun (he looked absolutely fabulous)

i really hope you liked theseee! please let me know how i can improve. also my inbox is open if you have any requests or recommendations. thank you so much!

I’m trying to decide between the Barbour Beaufort and the Bedale. Which would you recommend?

That depends. Both qualify as timeless English country styles and will serve you well for years to come. The differences are in the details.

Bedale: For the Equestrian

Bedale waxed jacket via barbour.com

The Bedale was designed in 1980 for equestrian uses, and therefore has details like snap studded gusseted side vents to accommodate a saddle. It also makes it more flexible at the hips, should that be your preference. The Bedale has woolen knitted inner storm cuffs designed to prevent rain from running down your arms as you hold the reins. They’re warmer but fit less well over other garments like a suit or the thick cuffs of a heavy sweater. Note that Barbour does sell Gilets that fit nicely under their slimmer fitting jackets that add warmth without bulk—I’ve been very happy with mine and it extends the wear time of my lighter jackets into the early winter months.

Beaufort: For the Game Hunter

Beaufort waxed jacket via barbour.com

The Beaufort, released in 1983, was intended for use in shooting. It has a rear nylon-lined game pocket called a poacher's pocket with zippered access on both sides. This can be used to store goods to keep them dry during extended walks in the rain. It also has some more material than the Bedale. It’s a little longer and has Velcro fastening nylon inner cuffs, designed to break away when lifting arms quickly to shoot. There are also some slight differences in the inner pockets that can be read below.

My Thoughts

As to my personal recommendation, I think it really comes down to what you’re using it for and which features you like. I would personally prefer the Bedale at the moment for its slightly shorter fit and flexible waist. I just like the shorter style for this type of jacket.

Though the corduroy collar is a timeless style with some functionality such as to keep rain away from the wearer, I actually like the Royston style over either jacket because of its Harrington style collar and streamlined fit (see the picture below for reference). Keep in mind that I live in a major city in the United States and will not be planning any long countryside treks through the muck, rain, and mud anytime soon. It’s a little lighter-weight, too, which fits my climate. I have several Barbour jackets but have yet to invest in one of their waxed jackets. If I do, it will simply be a light rain jacket for Spring or Fall. I wouldn’t plan to wear bulky sweaters or a suit underneath, and I prefer slimmer fits.

As a second alternative, I also recommend considering the longer Border jacket if you do plan to do significant layering—such as a thicker winter suit—or if you need additional protection from the elements, or are very tall.

View More On The Resort Co The Evolution of Casual Fashion The Early Twentieth Century: The Birth of Casual Style Casual fashion for men can trace its roots back to the early 20th century, a period marked by significant shifts in societal norms and lifestyles. This era witnessed the introduction of sports into everyday life, leading to the creation of more relaxed attire suitable for activities like tennis, golf, and yachting. The concept of ‘sportswear’ emerged, laying the groundwork for what would evolve into casual wear. Brands like Brooks Brothers and Levi’s began to play pivotal roles, introducing garments that combined comfort with a sense of casual elegance. 1950s Casual Style: The Rise of the Rebel Look The 1950s marked a significant turning point in casual fashion with the emergence of the ‘teenager’ as a distinct cultural group. Cultural icons like James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause and Marlon Brando in The Wild One popularized denim jeans, leather jackets, and white T-shirts, pieces that became synonymous with a rebellious, carefree attitude towards fashion. This decade also saw the rise of the polo shirt, thanks to designers like René Lacoste, further cementing casual wear’s place in men’s wardrobes. The 1960s and 70s Casual Fashion: Casual Goes Mainstream The 1960s and 70s witnessed casual wear becoming more mainstream, influenced heavily by the music scene and the counterculture movements, including the hippies. This period introduced many casual elements, from bell-bottom jeans to tie-dye shirts, emphasizing comfort, self-expression, and resistance to conventional fashion norms. The adoption of casual wear by mainstream culture during this time was a statement of personal freedom and a shift away from the strict dress codes of previous generations. 1980s and 90s Casual Style: The Revolution and Rise of Streetwear The 1980s and 90s brought about a casual revolution, as workplace attire began to relax and the concept of ‘business casual’ emerged. This period also saw the birth of streetwear, a style deeply rooted in surf and skate culture, hip-hop, and a DIY ethos. Brands like Stüssy, Supreme, and A Bathing Ape played significant roles in elevating streetwear from subculture to mainstream fashion, blending casual wear with elements of luxury, art, and music. Streetwear’s rise challenged traditional fashion hierarchies and further blurred the lines between high fashion and casual attire. 2000s Casual Fashion to Present: The Digital Age and the Globalization In the digital age, the globalization of fashion has made casual style more accessible and diverse than ever before. Social media and online shopping have democratized fashion, allowing trends to spread rapidly across the globe. The athleisure trend, characterized by the fusion of athletic wear with casual fashion, epitomizes the modern emphasis on comfort, functionality, and style. Today, casual fashion is not just about what is worn but how it is styled and shared, reflecting a broader cultural shift towards individuality, sustainability, and a more relaxed approach to everyday dressing. View More On Wax London Key Components of Casual Style for Men Denim Jeans: The Quintessential Casual Wear No surprise here. Jeans have been the backbone of casual wear since their inception in the late 19th century, originally designed as durable workwear for miners and cowboys. Levi Strauss & Co. revolutionized casual fashion by creating the first pair of blue jeans in 1873. Through the decades, especially during the 1950s, jeans transitioned from workwear to a symbol of youth and rebellion, thanks in part to cultural icons like James Dean. Today, jeans have evolved to include a variety of styles, from bell bottoms to skinny jeans, maintaining their status as a versatile and essential element of casual style. T-Shirts: The Canvas of Personal Expression You can’t really have jeans without the tee. The T-shirt’s journey from an undergarment in the early 20th century to a staple of casual wear underscores its versatility and comfort. It became especially popular after “A Streetcar Named Desire” came out and Marlon Brando rocked it like no other. The 1950s and 60s further cemented the T-shirt’s place in casual fashion as a medium for self-expression, featuring logos, slogans, and graphics. This simple yet powerful garment embodies the casual style’s core values of comfort and personal identity, making it a ubiquitous item in men’s wardrobes. Sneakers: The Footwear Revolution Originally designed for athletic use in the late 19th century, sneakers have become emblematic of casual fashion. The 1980s marked a significant period where sneakers broke into the mainstream, fueled by the rise of hip hop culture and significant brand-artist collaborations. Sneakers now represent the pinnacle of casual footwear, celebrated for their blend of comfort, design, and technology. They are a testament to the casual style’s embrace of functional yet fashionable elements. Casual Button-Down Shirts and Polos Casual button-down shirts and polos, embodying a relaxed yet refined aesthetic, trace their origins to the sports fields of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These pieces have transcended their athletic roots to become versatile staples of the casual wardrobe, capable of bridging the gap between casual and formal wear. Iconic brands like Ralph Lauren and Lacoste have immortalized the polo shirt, and casual button-downs have been adopted widely for their flexibility and ease of styling. View More On L’Estrange London Casual Hairstyles & Grooming Trends The casual aesthetic extends into hairstyles and grooming, embracing a philosophy that values ease, natural texture, and a sense of effortless style. Men’s Casual Hairstyles In the realm of casual hairstyles, men have a wide array of options that reflect the relaxed yet put-together essence of casual fashion. One popular choice is the textured crop, which suits a variety of hair types and face shapes, offering a low-maintenance yet stylish look. This cut typically features shorter sides with a slightly longer, textured top, allowing for easy styling and a modern appearance. Another favored style is the tousled look, perfect for those with medium to long hair. This style capitalizes on natural hair movement and volume, creating a laid-back vibe that’s both attractive and easy to manage. The undercut remains a staple in casual grooming, characterized by short sides and a longer top. This versatile cut can be styled in numerous ways, from slicked back for a more polished appearance to left loose for a relaxed feel, making it adaptable to various casual settings. Casual Facial Hair In terms of facial hair, the trend in casual grooming leans towards a more natural look. Stubble, often seen as the sweet spot between clean-shaven and a full beard, offers a rugged yet understated style that complements the casual wardrobe. For those who prefer a bit more length, shorter beards are a popular choice, balancing masculinity with a touch of refinement. The key to casual facial hair is maintenance—keeping edges relatively neat while embracing the beard’s natural shape and texture. Essential Grooming Products for Casual Style Grooming products play a significant role in achieving these casual styles. Lightweight styling creams and texturizing sprays can enhance the hair’s natural shape without making it appear overly styled or stiff. For facial hair, beard oils and balms not only condition the hair but also keep the skin underneath healthy, preventing dryness and itchiness. davidbeckham / Instagram Men’s Casual Style Icons The casual style has been shaped and defined by many a trailblazer over the years, each bringing their own unique flair to the aesthetic.

Today, jeans have evolved to include a variety of styles, from bell bottoms to skinny jeans, maintaining their status as a versatile and essential element of casual style. T-Shirts: The Canvas of Personal Expression You can’t really have jeans without the tee. The T-shirt’s journey from an undergarment in the early 20th century to a staple of casual wear underscores its versatility and comfort. It became especially popular after “A Streetcar Named Desire” came out and Marlon Brando rocked it like no other. The 1950s and 60s further cemented the T-shirt’s place in casual fashion as a medium for self-expression, featuring logos, slogans, and graphics. This simple yet powerful garment embodies the casual style’s core values of comfort and personal identity, making it a ubiquitous item in men’s wardrobes.

Sneakers now represent the pinnacle of casual footwear, celebrated for their blend of comfort, design, and technology. They are a testament to the casual style’s embrace of functional yet fashionable elements. Casual Button-Down Shirts and Polos Casual button-down shirts and polos, embodying a relaxed yet refined aesthetic, trace their origins to the sports fields of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These pieces have transcended their athletic roots to become versatile staples of the casual wardrobe, capable of bridging the gap between casual and formal wear. Iconic brands like Ralph Lauren and Lacoste have immortalized the polo shirt, and casual button-downs have been adopted widely for their flexibility and ease of styling.

The adoption of casual wear by mainstream culture during this time was a statement of personal freedom and a shift away from the strict dress codes of previous generations. 1980s and 90s Casual Style: The Revolution and Rise of Streetwear The 1980s and 90s brought about a casual revolution, as workplace attire began to relax and the concept of ‘business casual’ emerged. This period also saw the birth of streetwear, a style deeply rooted in surf and skate culture, hip-hop, and a DIY ethos. Brands like Stüssy, Supreme, and A Bathing Ape played significant roles in elevating streetwear from subculture to mainstream fashion, blending casual wear with elements of luxury, art, and music. Streetwear’s rise challenged traditional fashion hierarchies and further blurred the lines between high fashion and casual attire. 2000s Casual Fashion to Present: The Digital Age and the Globalization In the digital age, the globalization of fashion has made casual style more accessible and diverse than ever before.

Jeans have been the backbone of casual wear since their inception in the late 19th century, originally designed as durable workwear for miners and cowboys. Levi Strauss & Co. revolutionized casual fashion by creating the first pair of blue jeans in 1873.

Today, jeans have evolved to include a variety of styles, from bell bottoms to skinny jeans, maintaining their status as a versatile and essential element of casual style. T-Shirts: The Canvas of Personal Expression You can’t really have jeans without the tee. The T-shirt’s journey from an undergarment in the early 20th century to a staple of casual wear underscores its versatility and comfort. It became especially popular after “A Streetcar Named Desire” came out and Marlon Brando rocked it like no other. The 1950s and 60s further cemented the T-shirt’s place in casual fashion as a medium for self-expression, featuring logos, slogans, and graphics. This simple yet powerful garment embodies the casual style’s core values of comfort and personal identity, making it a ubiquitous item in men’s wardrobes.

Sneakers now represent the pinnacle of casual footwear, celebrated for their blend of comfort, design, and technology. They are a testament to the casual style’s embrace of functional yet fashionable elements. Casual Button-Down Shirts and Polos Casual button-down shirts and polos, embodying a relaxed yet refined aesthetic, trace their origins to the sports fields of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These pieces have transcended their athletic roots to become versatile staples of the casual wardrobe, capable of bridging the gap between casual and formal wear. Iconic brands like Ralph Lauren and Lacoste have immortalized the polo shirt, and casual button-downs have been adopted widely for their flexibility and ease of styling. View More On L’Estrange London Casual Hairstyles & Grooming Trends The casual aesthetic extends into hairstyles and grooming, embracing a philosophy that values ease, natural texture, and a sense of effortless style. Men’s Casual Hairstyles In the realm of casual hairstyles, men have a wide array of options that reflect the relaxed yet put-together essence of casual fashion. One popular choice is the textured crop, which suits a variety of hair types and face shapes, offering a low-maintenance yet stylish look. This cut typically features shorter sides with a slightly longer, textured top, allowing for easy styling and a modern appearance. Another favored style is the tousled look, perfect for those with medium to long hair. This style capitalizes on natural hair movement and volume, creating a laid-back vibe that’s both attractive and easy to manage.

This versatile cut can be styled in numerous ways, from slicked back for a more polished appearance to left loose for a relaxed feel, making it adaptable to various casual settings. Casual Facial Hair In terms of facial hair, the trend in casual grooming leans towards a more natural look. Stubble, often seen as the sweet spot between clean-shaven and a full beard, offers a rugged yet understated style that complements the casual wardrobe. For those who prefer a bit more length, shorter beards are a popular choice, balancing masculinity with a touch of refinement. The key to casual facial hair is maintenance—keeping edges relatively neat while embracing the beard’s natural shape and texture. Essential Grooming Products for Casual Style Grooming products play a significant role in achieving these casual styles.
