Individual Item Breakdown

Ana-Moto JD Leather Jacket (Black) / 887BLM1

For those seeking the authentic leather experience. This model incorporates Jesse Draxler’s signature artwork with vintage-treated leather.

Material: Use high-quality lamb nubuck leather or cowhide is used, and both are characterized by a unique matte black dye that enhances durability and artistic appeal. While the leather has a sense of weight, it also has an appealing texture that becomes more comfortable to the wearer's body as they wear it.

Staff Review：

While the shoulder area feels streamlined, the 3D pattern allows for easy arm movement. The contrast between the all-over vintage treatment and the graphic design is striking, giving it a strong presence even when paired with simple bottoms. Though it carries the weight typical of leather, it's exciting to anticipate how it will mold to the body over time.

The sleeves are slightly long, but for a rider’s jacket, that actually adds to the appeal. The bold graphic on the back draws attention, making it a great choice for those who care about how they look from behind. The leather feels a bit stiff at first, but as it ages, it softens, developing a one-of-a-kind character you’ll grow to love.

Ana-Moto JD Biker Jacket (Black) / 887BLM2

A more lightweight, versatile piece crafted from 10oz coated denim.
Delivers the rugged look of leather with the comfort of a jacket.

Staff Review：

It doesn’t have the heavy feel of leather, making it easy to throw on like a cardigan. This piece seems perfect for spring and fall, and with the right layering, it could even work through winter. I'm excited to see how the denim will age and develop its own unique character.

The shoulder epaulettes add just the right touch of military flair. The matte finish of the coating gives it a sleek, modern look, making it versatile for both casual and more dressed-up settings. The longer you wear it, the more personality it gains—there’s a real joy in watching it evolve over time.

Ana-Moto JD Biker Jacket (Silver) / 887BLM2

A statement piece with a futuristic silver coating. The worn-in texture evolves with time, revealing the black base underneath.

Staff Review：

The intense silver sheen immediately catches the eye, but it’s surprisingly easy to style. Just throwing it over an all-black outfit instantly elevates the look with a strong sense of modern edge—perfect for events or party scenes. I'm also curious to see how the appearance will evolve over time.

At first, I thought it might be too flashy, but once worn, it has a refined metallic finish. It’s perfect for days when you want to make a bold, cool statement—definitely a must-have for fashion lovers. Plus, its versatility through layering makes it wearable across seasons, which is a huge bonus.
