Ride in Style: The World’s First Certified Motorcycle Blazer

Dec 19, 2024

For motorcyclists, the day doesn’t end when the ride does. Whether heading to the office, meetings, or events, we’re often juggling two worlds: one that demands safety on the road and another that requires looking sharp in professional or social settings. This disconnect inspired the creation of the Brummell Blazer – the world’s first certified motorcycle blazer, designed by riders for riders.

In this blog, we'll look at the purpose behind this innovation and how it addresses the needs of modern motorcyclists. 

The Problem: From Road to Office

Commuters start every day with this frustrating choice: prioritize safety with bulky, impractical riding gear and sacrifice a polished professional appearance, or dress sharply for work and take dangerous risks on the road.  

Picture this: you’re weaving through morning traffic with the wind at your back, only to arrive at work and face the hassle of changing out of your riding gear into business attire. After a long day of meetings and events, the cycle repeats as you prepare for the ride home. For many riders, this routine can happen multiple times in a single day, creating unnecessary stress and inefficiency.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. Motorcycle riders face disproportionate risks on the road, with 6,218 motorcyclists tragically killed in 2022—a figure that accounts for 15% of all traffic fatalities and represents the highest number of deaths recorded since 1975, according to NHTSA data.

The Brummell Blazer: Elegant Protection for Modern Riders

The Brummell Blazer is the world’s first protective motorcycle blazer with a patent-pending design. Engineered to exceed EN 17092-4:2020 safety regulation, this groundbreaking apparel integrates advanced materials like DuPont™ Kevlar® into a sleek, stylish garment. It’s the perfect solution for those who need to move seamlessly from their bike to the office without sacrificing safety or style.

Built for the Ride, Perfect for the Destination

At first glance, the Brummell Blazer looks like a luxury blazer—tailored, stylish, and professional. But beneath the surface, it offers top-tier motorcycle protection. Every detail is designed with riders in mind:

• Certified Safety: Meets Class A certification under EN17092:2020.
• Reinforced Protection: Features full DuPont™ Kevlar® beneath the sleek exterior.
• CE Level 2 Armor: Equipped with shoulder, elbow, and back impact protectors.
• Functional Comfort: Includes a proprietary fastening mechanism, shoulder gussets, a removable windproof gilet, and an under-arm ventilation system.

Whether riding through city streets or attending a boardroom meeting, the Brummell Blazer ensures you’re protected on the road and polished off it.

Real Stories from Real Riders

The real proof of the Brummell Blazer isn’t in the design—it’s in the experiences of riders who wear it. For instance, a Pennsylvania rider recently credited the Brummell Blazer for walking away unharmed after a severe high-side accident. 

Laszlo Szabo’s Testimonial

" I was commuting to work in the middle of December in the Philly area, so it was fairly cold. I was going from my office on campus to another building. Riding at around 30 miles per hour, a reasonable speed given how fast everyone else is going, I unexpectedly hit black ice. This caused my motorcycle to lose traction, resulting in a high-side accident. I instinctively landed on my extended arms during the fall, which resulted in a broken arm upon impact.

Now, here's the most important part: thanks to the Brummell Blazer, I had zero contusions anywhere—no scratches, no slides—even though the knuckles of my riding gloves were definitely well scraped through. My Arai helmet also took significant damage, with enough scraping on the back that I had to replace it because it was no longer safe to use. However, my skin was completely unscathed, and the Brummell Blazer's protective layer stayed fully intact. This blazer absolutely did its job and kept me safe.”

Designed for Riders by Riders

The Brummell Blazer is a product born out of a genuine passion for riding, meticulously designed, tested, and refined by motorcyclists who understand the unique demands of motorcycle gear. The idea for the blazer stemmed from the founders’ personal challenge: the struggle to dress appropriately for a busy daily agenda while riding a motorcycle. This frustration sparked the creation of a solution that seamlessly combines safety, style, and practicality, empowering riders to tackle their day without compromise.

Made to Keep You Riding

At its heart, the Brummell Blazer is about enabling a lifestyle. Brummell believes motorcycles are more than transportation—they’re freedom. They’re an escape from the ordinary. But too often, safety concerns, dress codes, or inconvenient gear limit how and when riders can ride.

By reimagining motorcycle apparel, Brummell is breaking down those barriers. With the Brummell Blazer, riders can:

• Ride to work without changing clothes.
• Stay safe on the road without wearing bulky gear.
• Look sharp at meetings, events, or dinners—straight off the bike.

The result? Riders ride more. They ride farther. And they enjoy the ride.
