Indian: The Curious Gear of Benjamin Button
Those who have watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button will know that the main character, Benjamin Button (played by Brad Pitt) rides an Indian 101 Scout in the film.
Since the film came out in 2008, many motorcyclists have aimed to re-create Brad Pitt’s look and fans can now do so with Indian Motorcycle’s brown leather ‘Benjamin jacket’ paired up with Indian Motorcycle-branded ‘Deerskin gloves’.
The Benjamin jacket is available for both men and women and is 100% leather with a premium suede finish. There is CE armour in the shoulders and elbows (removable) and power stretch side panels for a comfortable fit. A cotton plaid inner can be zipped in and out and there’s a buckle on the collar.
The Deerkskin gloves are very soft and supple, giving a great feel through to the handlebars and will gain more character the more they are worn.
There’s also another scene in the film when Brad Pitt wears a Shearling Jacket. Indian Motorcycle also has one of its own, available for men made from 100% sheepskin leather and with a Shearling collar.
