The Merlin Heritage Collection seamlessly blends classic styling with modern protection to create a versatile selection of motorcycle clothing. We use a range of different market-leading materials, including Halley Stevensons® Waxed Cotton, D3O® armour and Reissa® waterproofing to ensure the highest quality. Our heritage collection also expands into leather garments for retro riders who want the old-school looks minus the signature feel of waxed cotton. Combining the best of British-made motorcycle clothing, our Heritage line offers a wide variety for both men and women.

Merlin Bamford AAA Jacket

Introducing the first CE AAA-rated tech wax riding jacket, a true evolution of heritage performance. The Bamford is built from Scottish Halley Stevensons tech wax (Cotec), delivering the timeless character of waxed cotton with a modern, lightweight strength and weather resistance capable of handling the harshest conditions.

Beneath the outer, reinforced zones enhance durability and rider protection, while a highly rated Texland Humax membrane provides dependable waterproofing when the weather turns. A removable full-body thermal liner offers warmth through the colder months, easily detached as temperatures rise, with multiple ventilation points opening the jacket up for airflow on summer rides. Inside, British Marton Mills tartan trims the Bamford, a subtle nod to its heritage roots.

As a complete riding solution, the Bamford comes equipped with five pieces of D3O armour pre-fitted, and for the first time in a wax jacket, includes chest armour pockets, allowing protection to be increased to a full seven piece set.

Thoughtful finishing details elevate the experience further, including magnetic front closures for ease of use, an internal sunglasses pocket, and a three-point belt system for a secure, tailored fit on the bike.
