I recently wrote about cafe racer helmets, but now I want to touch on the best cafe racer jackets. If you ride one of these bikes you need the right motorcycle jacket.

Cafe racers are as much about style as they are about anything else. Riding one is about the speed and experience of riding an old-school, custom, or retro-styled bike, but it’s also about the gear you wear and how it fits with the bike.

10 Best Cafe Racer Jeans

Get yourself that perfect pair of motorcycle jeans.

Cafe racer riders often get on their motorcycle without fully suiting up. Most of us just jump on the bike with maybe a helmet and some gloves. Some riders do wear a jacket, but often the right pair of cafe racer jeans are an afterthought if they are thought of at all.

That said, having a good pair of motorcycle pants when riding is extremely important and you don’t just want regular denim covering your backside and legs, you want something designed specifically for motorcyclists that’s also the right style for your bike.

I have pulled together a list of my top picks below. They look great and will work for any and all cafe racer riders. If you have a cafe bike and need some good riding pants, these are what you should buy.

I know a lot of cafe racer riders who wear a full-face helmet. However, if you wear an open-face helmet, half helmet, or a full-face that doesn’t have a face shield then you’ll need some goggles.

Kuhl Kaffe Racer Jacket Review

The Kuhl Kaffe Racer Jacket blends classic cafe racer style with modern textile materials. Recently, I had a chance to wear this jacket for several weeks to see if it’s a good option for riders.

Kuhl, for those of you who don’t know, is known for crafting tough clothing and gear for outdoor enthusiasts. Their tagline is Born in the Mountains. As such, they’re an active lifestyle and outdoor brand not a motorcycle gear manufacturer.

Still, with this kind of styling, the name, and the general construction of the jacket, I wanted to take a closer look at it. Kuhl shipped me one (big thanks to the brand!).
