| 'Liberation' leather jacket |
The collection, which will be distributed alongside the new BSA Gold Star, will consist of protective jackets, jeans and gloves as well as a selection of hoodies, T-shirts, sweatshirts and accessories. Each item is branded with both BSA and Merlin logos.
James Franklin, Brand and Product Director at Merlin, said of the collaboration: "As a proud British brand we found it fitting to team up with BSA to support its relaunch. BSA is a household name and we are excited to release this range with them.
'Empire' waxed cotton jacket
"This comprehensive collection allows BSA riders and fans to represent two great British names and experience the high quality that Merlin has always provided. We proudly produce this collection using staple ingredients from the core Merlin collection, such as Halley Stevensons waxed cotton, DuPont, Kevlar, D3O armour and YKK zips."
Highlights of the range include the 'Liberation' leather jacket in soft, supple cowhide leather with pre-fitted D3O armour to the shoulders and elbows, removable 100 g thermal vest and a short jacket-to-jean connecting zip.
The 'Empire' jacket is a 12 oz Halley Stevensons waxed cotton outer for the traditional waxy feel that most retro riders look for. There is a fixed Reissa waterproof membrane and a removable full-body 150 g thermal for weatherproofing, pre-fitted D3O armour at the shoulders and elbows.
BSA x Merlin clothing is available from Lukas Distribution, distributors of the BSA brand.
