BAC Officially Launches The BAC Driver's Jacket
October 29, 2020 by BAC
Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) has officially launched the BAC Driver's Jacket, exclusively tailored for owners of the BAC Mono and BAC Mono R supercars. Designed and developed by BAC in association with W.L GORE and performance clothing specialist KTC, the jacket is BAC's first venture into performance wear.
Ian Briggs, Co-Founder and Design Director of BAC, said: 'The BAC Driver's Jacket has seen us, the GORE-TEX team and KTC pour hours upon hours of design and development work into producing something incredibly special. Every single aspect of the Driver's Jacket features to be the ideal companion when driving – and we left no stone unturned in our pursuit of perfection. Our first venture into performance wear is something we're very proud of, and we're delighted to finally bring the very best clothing item to lovers of the sport of driving.'
Available in both black and white, the GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ jacket is designed to be the ultimate driving companion inside the Mono single-seater cockpit, featuring a number of innovative solutions for a smooth user experience.
It features six pockets in total, all of which are designed to sit independently from the Mono seatbelt setup. The main pockets open inversely for easier access inside the cockpit with the opposing hand and are roomy enough for your smartphone. A small pocket on the right wrist is smartly designed to house the Mono transponder, while a secret pocket inside the left chest and a right bicep pocket keep valuables safe.
The stylish main colour schemes of white and black fall in line with the BAC corporate colours and are designed to reflect heat, with red and black highlights injecting both style and purpose. The slim-fit sleeves feature black inner cuffs to keep the driver from bright distractions in the unique Mono driving position, while additional length and gripper sections on the wrists keep sleeves from riding up and allowing drafts in.
The same applies to the rear of the BAC Driver's Jacket, with an extension and gripper section ensuring it doesn't ride up despite the curved posture while driving. Above that, slight padding features to add further driver comfort.
The reverse style of the jacket is inspired by shut lines of the Mono spine, while the collar uses GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ WINDSTOPPER™ material to keep the driver's neck out of the breeze. The slim-fitting, high neck is designed to not interfere with the driver's helmet, plus there's a removeable, adjustable hood to protect the driver's face.
BAC has added Mono logos throughout the jacket, including on the pocket zips; Mono R owners will benefit from an exclusive R logo on the right chest.
