Merlin Heritage Collection

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 Hartwell AAA Jacket

Introducing the Hartwell as a mid-length CE AAA-rated tech wax riding jacket, tailored specifically for women. Built from Scottish Halley Stevensons tech wax (Cotec), it combines the timeless character of waxed cotton with modern performance, delivering lightweight strength and dependable weather protection.

Designed with a women’s specific fit, the Hartwell is shaped to move naturally with the rider, offering a more refined silhouette without compromising on comfort or protection. The mid-length cut provides balanced coverage on and off the bike, making it equally suited to longer rides and everyday wear. Beneath the outer, reinforced zones enhance durability and rider safety, while a highly rated Texland Humax membrane ensures reliable waterproofing when conditions change.

A removable full body thermal liner offers warmth through colder months, easily detached as temperatures rise, with multiple ventilation points allowing airflow when needed. Inside, British Marton Mills tartan adds a subtle heritage detail to a thoroughly modern jacket.

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

Thoughtful finishing details complete the design, 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.

Caring for your Hartwell Jacket

To care for your wax cotton jacket, begin by lightly brushing off any dirt or soil, and use a cold damp cloth if necessary to wipe down the jacket. Clean it in this way regularly to maintain its appearance, but don’t be too harsh as the wax will be removed. You can re-wax the jacket with our Merlin Wax Cotton Tin when it loses its waxed finish and water begins to soak into the cotton rather than bead off. Please do not machine wash, tumble dry or use hot water on your jacket. Full care information can be found in our dedicated care guide: Merlin Wash & Care.
