In the 1940s they where the number one dealer of Triumph Motorcycles in California supporting California Motor Racing and collaborating with Stars as Marlon Brando, James Dean, Clint Eastwood and Steve McQueen. Today a number of Hollywood celebrities are fans of JOHNSON MOTORS or “JoMo” t-shirts like Brad Pitt, George Clooney or musicians like “The Boss” Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Adams and Dave Grohl, frontman of the Foo Fighters. As we do at B74, these guys love the unique vintage style signature shirts.

All JoMo shirts are knitted, cut, sewn, dyed and laundered in the USA. Beside the JoMo, BSA, Triumph and other Motorcycle motives they do the iconic Catalina Grand Prix and the 13 REBELS M.C. T-shirts. Don’t forget the t-shirt series in honour of Steve McQueen, who rode a JOHNSON MOTORS motorcycle in the film “The Great escape”. There are so much more stories about the relationship between McQueen and JoMo. Not all designs of Johnson Motors Inc. are related to American motorcycle tradition. In the last years they expanded the collection with other motives and printless shirts, classic Henleys, sweaters, jackets and accessories.

At the end of the 1990s JoMo launched their first collection in the States and B74 was one of the first shops selling this great stuff in Europe. Today we are not only selling JoMo, but we are the European Distributor. So guys: We have the greatest selection of actual JoMo stuff on stock. Ride on over and check it
