Rockers And Their Leather Jackets



Some pretty impressive jacket studding at the anual Towester Ton Up. In 1950's-60's Britain, "Rockers" or coffee shop cowboys as they were also know could be found in every roadside cafe from Land's End to John o' Groats. Their goal? "The magic Ton"  


Often found riding a British made Norton or Triumph motorcycle, rockers would test their machines to the limit trying to reach 100mph (ton) on the motoways up and down the country. 


With pomade in their hair and turn up jeans, individualism was expressed on their leather jackets.
