In major European cities, the profiles have changed. In Paris, London, Milan or Zurich, the streets teem with busy, elegant, demanding men who now travel by motorcycle or scooter to save time, without compromising on their style.
Whether they are real estate agents or finance professionals 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 protects them without compromising their style. A smart, durable, warm, and elegant motorcycle jacket, but above all, one that fits perfectly into a professional life where appearance is key. The new generation of stylish motorcycle jackets for the city is redefining the very notion of high-end urban mobility, combining CE-certified safety and smart 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 brand has established itself as a benchmark in high-end motorcycle protective clothing, a perfect blend of textile engineering and tailoring artistry. Its motorcycle jackets and parkas combine CE-certified safety, waterproofing, breathability, and a remarkably refined design. Creations conceived 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 armor, garish logos, bulky cuts: everything about them betrayed raw performance, at the expense of style. In the city, the contrast was striking—the impeccably groomed professional would dismount their motorcycle dressed like an enduro rider. Since Inventive Citi and now VEST PARIS , a worthy successor to this revolutionary brand for many riders, those days are over.
VEST PARIS has reversed the logic. The materials have become refined, understated, and matte. Carbon black, midnight blue, and mineral gray play on subtlety and replace dull or aggressive colors. The garment hugs the silhouette, protecting without being conspicuous, and can be worn like a contemporary motorcycle jacket or a designer technical parka. SAS-TEC level 1 or 2 protectors blend seamlessly into the lining, Majocchi or Loro Piana waterproof membranes offer uncompromising protection from the rain, the V3 lining regulates heat, and the waterproof Metallux zippers subtly accentuate the lines. Each VEST PARIS men's dress motorcycle jacket is both a shield and a piece of tailoring.
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 bitter cold.
From European capitals to daily commutes
The phenomenon is not 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 la dolce vita is synonymous 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 solution to this urban reality. Its creations are not technical gadgets, but "elegant workwear" with a minimalist design, created for everyday use and compliant with 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 detail—a tailored motorcycle jacket inspired by the blazer, fitted, discreet, and perfectly compatible with a suit.
Function meets style
Protecting without showing it
VEST PARIS's promise is clear: to offer invisible yet very real protection. Each jacket is CE certified, equipped with removable protectors that meet the most demanding standards. But this technical expertise takes a backseat to comfort and a remarkably understated design, free of any visible branding. The wearer doesn't feel like they're putting on equipment, but rather a garment designed specifically for them.
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 requirements thanks to breathable fabrics, insulating linings, and three-layer laminated membranes. Once at the office, the jacket remains light, breathable, and never stifling. You can wear it without sacrificing style. 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, the kind that is experienced rather than displayed. Its philosophy: “Protect without saying, seduce without intending.” A vision shared by a new generation of urban men who want to combine mobility and style, speed and restraint, utility and beauty.
A new European standard
In the streets of Milan, Madrid, or London, the stylish motorcycle jacket is gradually becoming a distinctive symbol. It conveys something essential: that elegance isn't reserved for those with time to spare, but for those who know how to make the most of it. In this respect, VEST PARIS, with its Inventive Citi heritage, embodies more than a brand—a culture. The culture of a Europe that travels 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 trajectory. The stylish motorcycle jacket is no longer an alternative: it's the new standard in urban fashion. For many, VEST PARIS stands out as The best motorcycle jacket for professional urban use, capable of withstanding both harsh weather and the demands of the office.
