How Crank & Stroker Riding Shirts and Motorcycle Gear Are Designed to Fit Like Real Traditional Menswear

Let’s get something straight —
The real difference between motorcycle gear and general menswear?
Not much. Not if it’s done right.

On the technical side, there are tweaks: shoulder width, armhole depth, sleeve pitch, sleeve length. We adjust all that. But we don’t overdo it. That’s where most brands go wrong. They try to engineer some exaggerated “biker look” and forget what the hell it’s actually supposed to do.

At Crank & Stroker, we take this part seriously.

Because your motorcycle riding shirt shouldn’t just look the part — it should move with you. Fit clean. Wear right. Whether you’re leaned into the wind or grabbing dinner on the way back.

No ape-dragging sleeves.
No over-cocked elbows.
No stiff, boxy nonsense.

Just real gear. Refined gear. Gear that works.

That’s the key. I don’t change for the road. What I’m wearing is what I’m wearing. It needs to function on the bike and off. I’m not suiting up. I’m just going.

That’s the whole concept of Crank & Stroker.
