Taylor’s Leatherwear Type C-1 Police Motorcycle Jacket Black Goatskin Leather Thinsulate Vintage 90s

Few jackets represent the golden era of American police motorcycle gear better than the Taylor’s Leatherwear Type C-1. Manufactured by Taylor’s Leatherwear of Tullahoma, Tennessee, this jacket was built as a true duty-grade motorcycle and patrol jacket rather than a fashion reproduction.

The combination of heavyweight pebbled goatskin leather, YKK hardware, removable Thinsulate-insulated liner, epaulets, storm flap front, utility storage pockets, action-back construction, and duty-ready design strongly places this piece in the late 1980s to early 1990s era when Taylor’s supplied jackets for law enforcement, motorcycle patrol, security, and public safety professionals.

Beyond its law-enforcement roots, the jacket has become highly sought after for its timeless silhouette and rugged Americana styling. The oversized utility pockets, substantial goatskin leather, structured shoulders, and clean black colorway make it equally appealing to collectors, motorcycle enthusiasts, and vintage fashion buyers.

This example remains in excellent pre-owned condition and includes its original removable Thinsulate insulated liner, making it increasingly difficult to find compared to many surviving examples.
