“The Bikeriders” costume designer Erin Benach had eight months to develop the leather jackets.
Jeff Nichols’ latest drama follows a Midwestern biker club in the 1960s, inspired by Danny Lyon’s 1967 photo book about the Outlaws Motorcycle Club. Austin Butler, Tom Hardy and Michael Shannon are among the leather-clad bike riders leading the cast. With a limited budget and short prep time, Benach had to choose wisely which jackets she was going to build and which ones she was going to source.
“It can be a viewer challenge: Which are original and made? Which ones are vintage?” Benach laughs.
