Rennick Leatherworks is a one-person operation — or close to it — running out of a workshop in the mid-Tier 2 district, making motorcycle and riding jackets from genuine and synthetic leather in the old tradition. The Café Racer is a fitted, hip-length moto jacket with a snap-off collar, asymmetric zip front, and two hand-slash pockets. The leather is full-grain bovine hide treated with a proprietary wax blend that makes it water-resistant and gives it a deep, dark sheen. The lining is quilted satin-analog in burgundy or black.

This is not a fashion leather jacket. It has reinforced shoulder and elbow panels for abrasion resistance and a CE-rated armor insert system in the shoulders and elbows (back armor sold separately). It is made to be ridden in and it shows — the cut is slightly forward-leaning, the collar high enough to protect the neck. People who actually ride motorcycles in GLMZ's traffic corridors wear it. People who do not ride also wear it, which Rennick finds mildly annoying.
