We don’t know how he does it, but Keanu Reeves has this crazy ability to pick out solid menswear grails long before anyone even knows they exist. He’s done it before with Eurohiker fleeces. He’s done it before with Italian-made boots. And yesterday in London, he did it again with a denim jacket. It’s from a brand that you’ve probably never heard of before, and that’s a huge reason why you should get one ASAP.
While signing copies of his new novel The Book of Elsewhere at Waterstones Piccadilly, the Canadian actor chatted to fans, took a few selfies, and just made sure everyone had a good time. Because he’s a nice guy like that! But something else that was nice was the jacket that he had on.

Keanu Reeves is playing menswear Tetris with biker boots and suits
Made by Bike Shed Motorcycle Company (or BSMC, for short), it looks like a classic trucker at first glance, but it’s fitted with plenty of details that you can appreciate even if you don’t own a big Harley.
Reeves’ one was the ‘Indigo’ colourway. It’s got everything that you’d expect from a denim jacket, like contrast stitching and metal rivets, but what sets this apart is that the denim itself is infused with a special material called Covec. Not only has this been engineered to withstand moisture regain and UV rays, it’s also abrasion resistant and it’s got a high melting point, meaning it can protect the wearer from burns.
Apart from that, it’s slightly stretchy so you can layer up with all your fave tees and hoodies, and it’s got plenty of pockets to store all of your essentials, too. The piece is then finished off with BSMC’s signature crossed spanners stud, which is attached to the right chest.
And we haven’t mentioned the best bit. You can get Keanu Reeves’ Bike Shed Motorcycle Company denim jacket right now for just £105. And in a menswearverse that’s filled with four-figure pieces, that’s one helluva deal.
