Triumph presents its collection inspired by Steve McQueen

The brand Triumph has presented its new special clothing collection for the most passionate riders, and it does so with an obvious inspiration drawn from one of the myths of 60s and 70s cinema, Steve McQueen, one of the stars of cinema’s golden age and a true prototype of the American dream.

The magnetism of his figure and his ability to set trends with his casual, carefree style are some of the virtues behind Triumph’s special collection, a brand the actor popularized during the 60s and 70s.

McQueen’s unconditional love for the world of motorcycles and his enthusiasm for Triumph machines and the iconic Bonneville, with which the actor tore through the California dunes, forged an inseparable bond between McQueen and the Hinckley factory. 34 years have passed since his death, and the mark Steve McQueen left alongside Triumph on the collective imagination of the contemporary man remains indelible, turning classic-style garments such as those Triumph proposes for the spring-summer 2014 season into cult items.

That is why we are going to present the McQueen Desert Racer jacket. Inspired by the leather jackets of the 60s that the legendary actor wore in desert races, Triumph’s new jacket is a symbol of character and passion for the classic, complemented by the most modern tailoring and protection technologies.
The McQueen Desert Racer is made of waxed-finish cowhide leather and features padded reinforcements and Knox protectors at the elbows and shoulders, as well as a pocket for a back protector. To ensure airflow inside, the jacket incorporates ventilation panels hidden beneath discreet zippers on the chest and back. In addition, one of the jacket’s most striking features is its inner lining, decorated with a black-and-white image of Steve McQueen.

Another option is the McQueen gloves. This model of McQueen leather gloves embodies an elegant, simple style together with a fine feel that makes them extremely comfortable for riding a motorcycle. To achieve maximum comfort, these short-cuff gloves incorporate a smooth-feel laminated inner lining with McFit design that ensures the lining always stays in place. The gloves include an elastic fit at the wrist and close with a snap fastener. In addition, they feature perforations on the back of the hand that provide excellent ventilation for the rider’s hand.

There are many more garments, so take note and choose from the 2014 special collection.
