Most brands entering the motorcycle apparel market launch a men's line first and treat women's as a follow-on. This is a structural opportunity: the women's rider segment is growing faster than the overall market, female riders are more dissatisfied with current options than any other buyer group, and the brands that build a women's line properly — real pattern work, not a men's jacket in a smaller size and different colour — consistently earn loyal, repeat customers.

AJSAMCO manufactures women's motorcycle jackets as a dedicated product category, not as a downsized men's style. Our women's patterns are drafted from female body measurements, adjusted for shoulder-to-bust proportion, shorter torso-to-hip ratio, narrower shoulder width, and the different armour placement required when those proportions change.

Why Women's Motorcycle Jacket Pattern Work Is Different

The most common complaint from female riders about off-the-rack motorcycle jackets is fit — specifically:

  • Shoulder armour that sits on the upper arm rather than the shoulder joint
  • Elbow armour that lands mid-forearm when the arm is bent
  • A waist that pulls forward at the hem when seated because the back length is cut for a male torso
  • A chest that gaps at the zip line because the front panel width assumes a flat male chest

These are pattern problems, not sizing problems. You cannot fix them by simply grading a men's pattern down to a size 8. A women's motorcycle jacket needs its own block, its own sleeve pitch, and its own armour pocket placement relative to the female body in a riding position. This is the work we do at the pattern development stage for every new women's style we produce.

Construction and CE Certification Options

We manufacture women's motorcycle jackets in:

  • Leather — 0.9–1.1 mm full-grain cowhide for a fitted touring or sporty look. Popular with brands positioning at the premium end of the women's rider market.
  • Cordura — 500D or 600D for adventure, touring, and commuter-oriented styles. Lighter and more practical for all-weather riding.
  • Hybrid construction — Leather panels at high-abrasion zones (shoulders, elbows, upper back) with Cordura body panels for ventilation and comfort on longer rides.

CE certification under EN 17092 is available at Level A (general riding) and Level AA (spirited and touring). All CE-certified jackets include CE Level 1 or Level 2 shoulder and elbow protectors and a spine protector pocket as standard. The Declaration of Conformity is issued under your brand name.

Style Options for Women's Lines

The four styles we most commonly produce for women's motorcycle apparel brands are:

  • Classic moto jacket — Fitted silhouette, asymmetric zip, short hem. Works in leather or hybrid construction. Popular in the European urban rider market.
  • Touring jacket — Longer hem, adjustment tabs at waist, removable thermal liner, waterproof membrane option. Suited for adventure and long-distance touring brands.
  • Café racer — Minimal panelling, straight zip, stand collar. A cleaner look popular with lifestyle-positioned brands targeting riders who also commute.
  • Track day / sport jacket — Pre-curved arms, stretch back panel, CE Level AA, available in CE Level AAA by request. Suited for track-focused women's brands or as a women's performance extension of a men's racing line.

MOQ and Sampling

Minimum order quantity for women's jackets is 50 units per style and colour. We strongly recommend a development sample and a size run sample (typically S, M, L, XL) before production, to validate the pattern work against your target customer's measurements. Sample lead time is 14–21 days; production follows 45–60 days after sample approval.

If you are adding a women's line to an existing men's range you already manufacture with us, the sampling timeline is shorter because your house standards and branding requirements are already established.

For Brands Entering the Women's Market

If you are building a women's motorcycle apparel brand from scratch, we recommend starting with two or three core styles in one or two colourways, establishing your CE certification documentation, and growing from there. We can help you think through the technical specification, provide reference samples in our standard women's blocks, and work with your designer or handle design in-house if you do not yet have one.
