California-based Tobacco Motorwear is another newcomer to the motorcycle apparel biz, and they’ve quickly made a name for themselves with a unique line of stylish, durable and protective riding jeans. Made with 13.5 ounce selvedge denim — old-school raw denim made on a shuttle loom — Tobacco jeans are lined with DuPont Kevlar for abrasion resistance. Each pair takes on its own unique patina as it ages, a characteristic of raw denim. Look for a full review in a future issue. Available in indigo (shown) or black. $359.
