Do you dream of being Steve McQueen? If so, you’ll need this McQueen memorabilia product to get where you what to be - or at least to smell like what the man himself probably didn’t smell like at all. Introducing the McQueen cologne, now available online at the cost of a hefty 190 euros.

The McQueen perfume is apparently a mix of fresh green fruit, cardamom, sage and cinnamon with base notes of woody cedar all designed to encapsulate what “cool” is. It comes in a limited edition gift box and if you don’t like it, or your lady doesn’t like it, that’s going to be a real bummer at the above cost.

And from the female perspective - a mere cologne would never work for me anyway. Call me fussy, but “cool” is so much more than that. For more information, or to order yours, go to stevemcqueen-perfumes.com. If you do happen to order one, we would be really keen to know how cool you feel once you’ve sprayed yourself in this, so please - let us know!

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.

The special edition Triumph Brando jacket has been made with official copyright permission. It is 100 percent leather with a fitted cut and has removable CE shoulder and elbow padding. An internal thermal lining can also be removed. The Wild One jacket costs about 400 euros.

In more news on Steve McQueen memorabilia, his Von Dutch 1929 Scott 596cc Super Squirrel will be on auction at the Antiquorum June 11th auction. The bike was spotted by McQueen for its historical significance, and he made a gift of it back to Kenny “VonDutch” Howard.

Antiquorum says:

Produced by the Scott Motorcycle Company, the present motorcycle is not only a fine example of one of the most technologically advanced machines of its day, but it was restored, painted and pin striped in the 1970s by the legendary Kenny “Von Dutch” Howard. The bike features the infamous Von Dutch ‘flying eyeball’ logo affixed in cloisonné to the toolbox, while the Scott logos are all hand-painted and finished in gold leaf.

A unique feature of the bike is that Von Dutch mistakenly lettered the date on the front number plate ‘1926’ instead of the correct ‘1929.’ Having recognized the historical and artistic significance of this motorcycle, prior to his death, Steve McQueen gifted the bike back to Von Dutch so that he may personally own his masterpiece.
