THE STEADFAST RIDER JACKET Based on our Steadfast Jacket but with two major differences - gusseted shoulders and side hand warmer pockets. The shoulder gussets add another level of comfort and restriction free movement that's not typically available in traditional denim jackets. The secret ingredient to the gussets and the amount of movement they enable is the ability for them to open and retract using high quality 1.5" inch elastic bands which function similar to that of a gas strut. This ensures that every time the gusset is opened it will reset back to neutral and maintain the shape of the back and around shoulder. Although designed for the rider in mind this jacket also solves the issue for anyone who has felt frustrated with the restrictiveness of a basic denim jacket around the shoulder and armhole.
