In major European cities, the silhouettes have changed. In Paris, London, Milan, or Zurich, the streets teem with hurried, elegant, and demanding men who now travel by motorcycle or scooter to save time, without compromising their style.
Whether they are real estate agents or in finance in Paris, architects in Madrid, lawyers in Geneva, art directors in Florence or entrepreneurs in Zurich, they all share the same quest: to find a jacket that can protect them without disguising them. A stylish, durable, warm, elegant motorcycle jacket, but above all compatible with a professional life where appearance remains a signature. The new generations of stylish motorcycle jackets for the city redefine the very notion of high-end urban mobility, combining CE-certified safety and dressed design .
It is this need that VEST PARIS , heir to the spirit of the Inventive Citi label, understood before others. For over ten years, the Parisian house has established itself as a benchmark for high-end motorcycle protective clothing, halfway between textile engineering and tailoring. Its motorcycle jackets and parkas combine CE-certified safety, impermeability, breathability and a line of rare precision. Creations designed to withstand rain, cold and speed, without ever sacrificing style.
Motorcycle elegance, finally possible.
For a long time, motorcycle protective jackets resembled technical uniforms. Shiny nylon, visible shells, loud logos, bulky cuts: everything betrayed raw performance, to the detriment of style. In the city, the contrast was striking—the impeccable professional would dismount his two-wheeler dressed like an enduro rider. Since Inventive Citi and now VEST PARIS , the worthy successor to this revolutionary brand for many users, that time is over.
VEST PARIS has reversed the logic. The materials have become refined, quiet, and matte. Carbon black, midnight blue, and mineral gray play on subtlety and replace dull or aggressive colors. The garment hugs the silhouette, protects without showing off, and is worn like a contemporary motorcycle coat or a designer technical parka. SAS-TEC level 1 or 2 protections blend into the lining, Majocchi or Loro Piana waterproof membranes protect from rain without compromise, the V3 lining regulates heat, and waterproof Metallux zippers emphasize the line with a subtle brilliance. Each VEST PARIS men's motorcycle jacket is both a shield and a tailored piece.
Elegance is no longer a secondary luxury; it is a form of respect. Respect for oneself, for the appointment, for the client one is about to meet—even in the rain or in the cold.
From European capitals to daily commutes
This phenomenon isn't unique to Paris. In London, where lawyers ride Triumphs in the constant drizzle, in Zurich where financiers speed to the office on motorcycles despite the cold, in Rome and Florence where the dolce vita combines with speed, or even in Barcelona where urban mobility has become a culture, the question of the ideal jacket arises everywhere in the same way: how to stay impeccable on a motorcycle, whatever the weather?
VEST PARIS offers a concrete and sustainable answer to this urban reality. Its creations are not technical gadgets, but "elegant functional garments" with a minimalist design, made for everyday use and meeting the CE EN 1621-1 standard . The V1 motorcycle trench coat protects like a winter coat: long, flowing, waterproof, perfect for morning commutes. The V2 motorcycle parka embodies versatility and modernity: an essential for European winters. As for the V68-02 , it is aimed at those who appreciate the details—a dressed motorcycle jacket inspired by a blazer, fitted, discreet, and perfectly compatible with a suit.
Function meets style.
Protect without showing it.
VEST PARIS's promise is clear: to offer invisible, yet real protection. Each jacket is CE-approved, equipped with removable protectors that meet the most demanding standards. But this technicality fades behind the comfort and a design of rare simplicity, without any visible branding. The man who wears it doesn't feel like he's putting on equipment, but a garment designed for him.
Winter under control
European winters are becoming increasingly unpredictable: rain in Milan, wind in London, dry cold in Zurich. The VEST PARIS motorcycle jacket collection meets these challenges thanks to breathable fabrics, insulating linings, and three-layer laminated membranes. Once in the office, the jacket remains light, breathable, and never stuffy. You can keep it on without losing elegance. It's a way to experience the cold season differently, without compromise.
The spirit of the brand
Born in Paris and designed for an international urban clientele, VEST PARIS embodies the quiet luxury movement—luxury without ostentation, luxury that is felt rather than shown. Its philosophy: "To protect without saying, to seduce without intending to." A vision shared by a new generation of urban men who want to combine mobility and style, speed and measure, utility and beauty.
A new European standard
On the streets of Milan, Madrid, or London, the stylish motorcycle jacket is gradually becoming a distinctive mark. It says something essential: that elegance is not reserved for those who have time, but for those who know how to make time. In this, VEST PARIS, with its Inventive Citi heritage, embodies more than a brand—a culture. That of a Europe that moves differently, with discernment and style.
The VEST PARIS man moves forward with confidence, protected from the cold and rain, sure of his silhouette and his path. The dressed-up motorcycle jacket is no longer an alternative: it is the new standard of urban wear. For many, the VEST PARIS stands out as the best motorcycle jacket for professional urban use, capable of withstanding both the elements and the demands of the office.
