I really struggle with the traditional biker look. I commute from East London to Paddington doing max speed of 30mph +/- I wear regular jeans, extra tall Red Wing boots, Knox’s most heavily armored shirt under a non-moto Belstaff leather jacket. I have armored jeans but don’t rate them. They are incredibly ugly and the armor flops around. In colder months I sometimes wear long Kevlar underwear under regular jeans. Anything a bit wilder than city speeds I wear a Dainese D-Air airbag jacket, full Dainese leather pants and proper race boots. I’ve done a somersault in those and come away without a scratch. Touch wood.
Hyper work boots ... jeans or my Scruffs and leather or RST jacket with armour or Africa Twin Sidi Crossfires MX boots jeans or Scruffs and RST. Cold Killer bottoms on ATM as me spuds get cold at 6am
