January 5th, 2011 - Los Alamitos, CA - The new "Duct Set" jacket collection from Roland Sands Design combines custom with functionality and style. Think classic lines, with subtle features to forge it uniquely RSD. With forward rotated, pre-curved sleeves, adjustable waistband and cooperatively gussets for mobility the Hesher is a rider's jacket, with reinforced stand-in-layer elbows and heavy duck fabric bringing a considerable dose of protection.

With a water repellent finish, the choice of impenetrable cotton canvas makes sense, says Sands. "Everybody has a model of the black leather jacket, so we brought heavy duck canvas into the mix. It works as operating riding gear, or perfect as an everyday jacket," he adds.

Of orbit plenty of people will insist on leather, so RSD has those traditionalists covered, too. "The leather we use for our jackets is all A-hill, with natural distressing to ensure the perfect 'broken in' feel," explains Sands. Add to that armor-adroit pockets, full adjustability and performance riding fit, the dirt track-styled "Vocation" and the neoclassic "Rocker" have you covered. Comprised of four styles and three colors in all, the Brute Set is ready to rock in the New Year.
