Historical Significance
In September 1959, American Honda began its U.S. operations from a small storefront on West Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles, staffed by just eight employees. Their first lineup included the Dream, Benly, and the Honda 50, which had just debuted in Japan. Despite the modest beginnings, the company ambitiously set a monthly sales goal of 1,000 units, reflecting Honda’s drive and determination.
Every element of this jacket’s artwork pays homage to those formative years, celebrating the early branding and spirit of American Honda as it navigated the U.S. market. From the Pico Boulevard storefront to becoming an enduring symbol of innovation, this jacket captures a piece of motorcycling history in every stitch.
