A Coveted Piece Merging British and American Culture


Sailor Jerry made his name with authentic tattoo flash—the preliminary drawings used for tattoo designs. Many American traditional tattoos draw inspiration from his creations. Today, the brand bearing his name, Sailor Jerry, offers accessories and apparel featuring his designs. The Flash Collection is a line developed by Paul Simonon in partnership with Sailor Jerry.

Lewis Leathers is a British motorcycle wear brand with over 120 years of history, dating back to its predecessor, "D. Lewis." Renowned for its leather goods, its rider jackets, in particular, are bespoke creations boasting unparalleled quality.

The base for this special leather jacket is the "#391 Lightning," born in 1958. It's a model with a long history within the Lewis Leathers lineup, beloved by prominent British artists. It's an iconic piece that has graced portraits with rock stars, worn by Paul Simonon, Joe Strummer, Steve Jones, Johnny Rotten, and currently by Carl Barât of The Libertines.

Instead of standard cowhide, the jacket is crafted from premium sheepskin tanned with chrome. The back features skull artwork designed by Paul Simonon.
