Louis Moto | Detlev Louis Motorcycle Gear retro collection launched
Louis Moto has launched a collection of retro motorcycle clothing bearing the name of the man that started the company
EUROPE’S largest motorcycle clothing and accessory mail order and online retailer has launched a new collection for 2021 to commemorate the man that founded the company.
The Detlev Louis collection features classically styled products that hark back to the bygone golden age of motorcycle riding, with a simple, no-frills design ethos, supple leather, and textile used and manufactured in a modern way.
The Louis Moto story started 80 years ago after Detlev Louis founded a small motorcycle repair shop in Hamburg Germany. The shop quickly grew, boosted by the uptake of motorcycles in the post-war era, until in 1990 it became a European distribution hub for motorcycling’s top apparel and equipment brands.
Here are a few highlights from the Detlev Louis Motorcycle Gear collection.

Detlev Louis DL-GM-2 Gloves

Detlev Louis DL-PM-1 Leather Trousers
These rugged 5-pocket jeans, made of soft aniline leather, adapt to your body shape over time and become almost like a second skin. So you can expect a great combination of protection and the perfect look. Removable knee protectors are included, and you can also upgrade with hip protectors.
Detlev Louis DL-JW-1 Ladies' Leather Jacket
Elegant, rugged, with a touch of vintage style and, for the finishing touch, a superb fit…". That's what it says in the brochures, and we can only agree. This leather jacket really is hard to beat, with all its features such as the double zipper, which gives you an extra half-size, should you need it.
Detlev Louis DL-BM-3 Boots
These lace-up boots are made of hard-wearing cowhide with a welted look, and they go perfectly with any jeans. Sturdily made and timeless, you couldn't want for anything more stylish when you go for a spin on your motorcycle or stroll through town.
Detlev Louis DL-SW-1 Ladies' Leather Vest
It's amazing what can be conjured up with four snap fasteners and a figure-hugging cut. Add a rugged yet supple aniline leather to the mix, and you can only wonder at the very reasonable price tag.
