Marlon Brando as Johnny in The Wild One has given us one of the most iconic motorcycle images ever. The dapper hat pushed sideways is accompanied by a classic leather jacket in a time of post-war rebellion.

The image is being recreated by Triumph Motorcycles in a clothing collection featuring a leather jacket with “Johnny” embroidered on the front and emblanzoned on the reverse the letters BRMC with the skull and crossbones underneath. The remake is aimed at anyone who ever thought Brando in his role as Johnny Strabler.
