OUR HISTORY

2009 – 2024
The Hollywood Vintage Jacket project turns 15 years and Martino Barbato tells us how and where the whole story was born…

“It all started like this…….”
The spark was sparked during a weekend in London in 2009, browsing in a vintage goods market.
Fate wanted my gaze to be caught by an old, ruined black leather “nail” which was reminiscent of the famous one worn by Marlon Brando in the 1953 film “The Wild One”.
The aftermath was like a river in flood….
Thanks to the experience of a fashion stylist combined with an unbridled passion for cinema and Harley Davidsons, the idea of ​​creating a collection entirely dedicated to the myths and legends of Hollywood comes to life.
Thus I invented the “Hollywood Vintage Jacket” brand, I studied the films that made American history, I downloaded thousands of frames to be able to create the prototypes worn by the protagonists down to the smallest details, I chose the leathers and accessories with the vintage effects that give the ‘realistic film effect.
After four years, everything is finally ready for the great challenge and in 2013 I inaugurate the Jesolo Beach headquarters and the online site of the Collection www.hollywoodvintagejacket.com with the first 30 films, a unique cinematic journey, spanning over seventy years of history, designed and made entirely in Italy.
The following ten years were of continuous development, at the rate of 5 new films every year, until 2023, with a Museum Collection of over 80 films from the history of cinema. A unique reality on an international level, which has found its perfect home in the new headquarters in Piazza Nember, also in Jesolo Beach.

Dear friends, movies lovers, motors fans, bikers of all generations, when you go in the Hollywood Vintage Jacket store in Jesolo-Venice, you start a fantastic journey among past, present and future.
You will hear the roar of legendary motorcycles on the dusty American roads of the 50s with Marlon Brando, of the 60s with PeterFonda, of the 90s with Schwarzenegger and of the 2000 with Nicolas Cage.

We will all feel like explorers in the jungle with Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones.
Then.. would you like to be a superhero with the powers of Wolverine or Iron Man?
We also dream to drive Steve McQueen’s Porsche in LeMans, or the powerful muscle cars of the Nascar circuits in Driven to Win.
And you, bikers, have you ever desired to ride the FXRS Black Death and wear the legendary Mickey Rourke’s jacket in HarleyDavidson and Marlboro Man.
