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.
The roars of the fighters jets will bring you in the skies of Pearl Harbor with Ben Affleck or in stunts beyond the speed of sound with Tom Cruise in Top Gun.
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.
Hollywood Vintage Jacket of Jesolo-Venice will take you to the third dimension, where dreams meet passions, where myths and legends will always be by your side.

Everything is handmade. The Tailoring tradition of our Master Leather workers is reflected in the ancient production techniques.

We start by carefully assorting the leather in order to find the same characteristics of color, thickness and grain for a perfect assembly.

Then it is the turn of the knife model cutting, for a constant control of the raw material, followed by the packaging piece by piece, garment by garment, giving rise each time to a unique creation.

To complete the Hollywood Vintage Jacket project, special handmade treatments are carried out to give the leather such a vintage and lived-in look, which makes the Collection unique and extraordinary.

Hollywood Vintage Jacket uses only highest quality leathers of Italian origin. Leathers are finished in Italian tanneries with ancient and traditional methods that give the tanned leather the look scruffy appearance, getting old overtime with the use, testifying to the naturalness of the product.

The softest and lightest lamb tassels give maximum comfort for the warm-medium season.

Vintage- finished calf leather, sturdy and resistant, for intense use and for the maximum satisfaction of every biker.

Choosing a creation made with these leathers means having the final result of a philosophy of craftsmanship and a unique and unrepeatable style.

How do I keep my Hollywood Vintage Leather Jacket?

• Hang up your Hollywood Vintage Jacket leather jacket with a widecoat rack, so as not to deform the line of your shoulder over time.
• If you need to air your Hollywood Vintage Leather Jacket, don’t leave it under the sun for long, because UV rays may change its color.
• Do not store it in a plastic bag, because the skin needs to breathe. A cotton bag is ok.
• If your Hollywood Vintage Leather Jacket gets wet with rain, don’t put it in direct contact with a heat source, but shake it well, hang it up and let it dry naturally.
• If your Hollywood Vintage Jacket leather jacket is stained, don’t use products unless recommended by an expert, but contact a specialist laundry.
• Do not use perfumes or deodorants directly on the leather.
