BART BLK
AMERICAN BLACK + ORANGE
Model: BART
There was a time when Saturday nights meant dust in the lights and steel shoes throwing sparks off the groove. The Speedway Classic carries that era forward — not as costume, but as continuation.
Born from the DNA of 1980s American flat track competition, this jacket wears its history the way a racer wears scars: earned, not applied. The beaded collar, the bold Vanson oval, the unmistakable V-in-circle — each detail echoes pit crews, privateer teams, and riders who lined up shoulder to shoulder with nothing but throttle and nerve between them.
Cut from competition-weight steerhide, it feels substantial in the hands and absolute on the body — the kind of leather that doesn’t break in so much as break with you. Double leather at the shoulders and sleeve caps stands ready where it matters most. Brass hardware, wind-tight sleeves, exhaust vents, and underarm grommets remind you this is built for motion, not museum display.
Inside, the numbered key fob and wallet pockets feel personal — like team issue. Outside, the stance is unmistakable: American racing heritage, streamlined and unapologetic.
The Speedway Classic isn’t retro. It’s what racing looked like before anyone softened the edges.

I just wanted to write you a letter saying thanks for building such a great product. I was recently in a motorcycle crash while wearing your Enfield jacket and I believe it helped save me from serious injury.
I had 2 wrecks on my CBR1100XX in 2005 and each time I was wearing my Vanson gear...each and every time they have saved me from abrasions and major injury.
