MOTOrcycle accessories FOR RIDERS BY RIDERS

For the longest time, we looked for motorcycle jackets  and accessories designed  for everyday riding that also looked good  off the bike. Not "vintage or retro"  but with a modern, yet classic, timeless feel and fit. We wanted something  that just didn't exist. We eventually decided that we would have to make them from the ground up,  just like the bikes we ride. The results are uncompromising, self-validated motorcycle jackets and accessories, you see them, you must have them, end of story, or actually,  just the beginning for Pagnol.

THE SPIRIT AND PHILOSOPHY BEHIND pagnol

To live by our passions, to inspire, to break down norms, to create our own terms, to take calculated risks, to innovate, to lead, to ask: wHAt if? then try it, to honor the past and look to the future

Designed Function

Every function of our motorcycle jackets and accessories has been designed to work with the riding position. We really hated how certain jackets prevented us from moving around or bunched and pinched us in places. Our moto accessories have been developed to be flexible where they should be and breathable for those hot days - all within a slim, flattering fit.

Styling

We spent as much time developing our motorcycle accessories on the bike as well as off the bike so that you look and feel comfortable on your morning ride to work and then to the bar afterwards without looking like a Power Ranger.

 We knew that great aesthetics do not need to be sacrificed for function.

Construction

Pagnol Jackets are made from tough yet supple cow hide leather and constructed to ensure durability through everyday riding. While this is not a replacement for your full race leathers or a full performance jacket, we also didn't create  "fashion" jackets to primp around in.

Pagnol is manufactured at a "Socially Responsible" Certified Factory and from grass fed cattle.

Pagnol is the creation of Paulo Rosas and James Yang. The brand's design was initially created by Paulo, designer-owner of www.SpeedMachinesDesign.com . Later Pagnol and the first M1 jacket resulted from a crazy series of intersecting interests with James, owner of www.hammerbeast.com . Although the M1 jacket is geared towards the everyday rider, the founders of Pagnol happened to meet at a track day at Willow Springs International Race Way. They began talking and realized they shared a common vision.

They both wanted to create product with a tasteful, modern yet  timeless feel and with a slim fit.

They had spent years researching and working on a very similar goal separately!  So the next natural step was to  combined talents and resources.

Between them at Pagnol, they have design experience in MotoGP, AMA and CEV Repsol, moto apparel design, fashion design,  industry media, custom motorcycles and industry retail. This has proven to be a very complimentary collaboration.

After a few iterations, they arrived at the M1 jacket, the culmination of several calculated design decisions. Later the M2 was created as a more modern/architectural version of the M1. Expect more well thought out product to come out year by year.

The Road Ahead

In the same way a bike builder creates a new bike or a moto company releases a new model sparingly, Pagnol will release a well thought out new style "one at a time" - not a "collection" to "see what sticks". We aren't confined to seasons, deadlines or bottom lines, so we might  bring out a spring looking jacket in winter or a winter looking jacket in summer. We are simply trying to bring  premium options that tick every box on the must-have list with no set schedules and limits. We spend a significant amount of time "field testing" our own designs so you can be sure that a lot of rider thought has gone into each decision and not some accountant at the other end. Expect to see new offerings and accessories on an ongoing basis!
