Creating New “The Horse” Product »

Working on the logo The Torian Team is creating a new product for the Horse Magazine. It’s a leather shirt with a the Charlie Horse logo on the breast for all the Chopper Jockeys & Bobber riders out there. And it will be promoted on the Horse Website and in the magazine

The challenge is to modify the Charlie Horse logo so it looks good on black and comes across well embroidered. This is the first iteration looks like an xray. We are working on the engine, tank, leather jacket and wheels to make it come across better.

Steve McQueenTwo feet, four, six . . . 7ft off the ground. After repeated nervous, muddy attempts, Bud Ekins, a motorcycle stunt rider, coaxed the old Triumph into the air, flew over the strands of fake barbed wire and into the history books.

Torian's Race Jacket Ideal for Cafe Racers

Cafe Racers and owners of Modern Classics need a full functioning leather jacket that provides security for valuables, wind resistance, multiple pockets and a clean look… The Torian Race Jacket fills the bill.

The clean look with its center-oriented zip appeals to those wanting an authentic old school look.
The jacket is tough and manufactured from naked leather. Naked leather is durable and doesn’t have the still feel that some jackets have. The leather comes in midnight black and has industrial-strength YKK zippers.

The build quality of the Racer is excellent overall and after a year of regular use still looks and feels good.

I try to stay behind the camera not in front of it. My daughter was kind enough to risk her camera and take a few shots yesterday.

Love the jacket, feels as good as it looks. Take it easy
