We’ve always loved the look of a classic mechanics jacket... but they sucked to ride in. To fix this, we’ve spent countless hours modifying the fit so that it functions perfectly on the bike + provides a much higher level of protection.
The ‘Wrench’ jacket is fully lined with one of the world's strongest aramid fibres, which is well known for its superior abrasion resistance and durability. We’ve also used a premium mesh liner for breathability and thrown in a water resistant internal pocket to stash your valuables.
Need more protection? We’ve designed this jacket to be 100% compatible with premium, CE rated armour inserts. NEED ARMOUR? CLICK HERE. Please note this product requires our regular Zeus Pro Ce Level 2 Back Protector.
Add in small details like a snap-down collar, external zipper pockets and an adjustable cuff/hem and you’ve got the perfect hybrid of classic style and modern protection performance.

REVIEW:
The best way to find out your size is to measure a jacket you already own, and that fits the way you want while on your bike (factoring in any garments you wish to layer underneath). Lay your jacket flat on a table, and measure the chest, making sure to go from side seam to side seam (near the armpit like in the photo below). It's very important that you reach the seam join on each side, even if you have to bend a little around the sides of the jacket. Compare your measurement to the size chart above. If you're in-between sizes, choose the larger size.
If you're unsure of your size, please EMAIL US at support@akinmoto.com, especially if you are an international customer. We are here to help and will do whatever we can to make sure you order the right size.
Model in the photos is 6ft, 83kgs and is wearing a size Large.
Just received this jacket and love it. Looks great, good weight & feel and doesn't stick out at the office as a bike jacket. Only complaint is that the buttons on the cuff seem a bit flimsy and one of mine has cracked in half on its second wear.
Edit - updating to 5 stars as customer support was excellent.
Hi Dean, cheers for taking the time to review and I'm so sorry to hear about the button on the cuff of your jacket! I've sent you an email directly and we're going to make sure we look after you here.
Its honestly the best looking jacket I have however I do have some issues with it. Its my go to summer jacket but with that being said, I have the issue of it riding up my sleeve while I am riding at highway speeds. I now have an opposite watch tan since I wear a similar size glove sold on this website LOL. But this also concerns me protection wise since, the pads should stay in place but they don't. For example, the elbow armor is resting on my forearm rather than around my elbow. I followed the size chart as well so the fit should be accurate. I bought a size M since I was between sizes, but I think I should have bought a size S since I am skinnier. This might have helped with the sleeves riding up as well as the protection placement. So my advice, don't size up if you're skinny and between sizes.
Hi R, thank you for provding your review and honest feedback, we really apprecite it! So sorry to hear about the fitment you're experiencing and if we can help in any way please don't hesitate to email us.
For the most part, this jacket is perfect. I purchased the sas-tec elbow and shoulder pads to go along with it. Altogether, the setup has been great for fair weather riding this spring. With a windbreaker and sweater underneath, I've been able to ride with it at temperatures as low as 37 fahrenheit/3 celsius. This is a jacket you can really wear in varied settings and temperatures. Only negative for me is the buttons throughout the jacket have either fallen off during rides, or are beginning to stretch out which is upsetting since I've worn it about 10 times.
Hey Aeden, Grant here. Thank you so much for ordering with us and taking the time to leave a review. We really appreciate it! I'm so sorry to see this has happened with the buttons on your Wrench Jacket.
Please get in touch with me via support@akinmoto.com whenever it's convinient and I'll make sure that we look after you here.
I've had my eye on AKINMOTO for a while now and this jacket is spot on! Nice and lightweight but warm enough In this Scottish spring with an extra layer on.
The quality and fit is also spot on.. and it looks the business 🤙🏻
The customer service was also amazing, cheers lords!
Thanks for such a great review Brown! We're very happy to hear it's perfect for the Scottish Spring with an extra layer and that you're loving the quality and fit. Cheers for your order!
I'm around 6'0" and ~200lbs and ordered this jacket in size L. Fits pretty much perfect. Looks great, can see myself wearing this without armor even when I'm not riding. I haven't been on the bike with it yet (as its still winter in the states) but I can tell with the mesh lining and venting I'm going to stay cool even in the summer. This is my second purchase from Akin, I'm positive it won't be my last.
Thanks for the great review Kyle! That's so awesome to hear how much use the jacket will get both on and off the bike! Please feel free to reach out if we can ever help with the next purchase - Grant
