Why Motor Wheels Clothing?

Motor Wheels Clothing is not just a clothing brand: it's a true declaration of love to a fascinating world: that of old cars, old motorcycles and Kustom Kulture.

Since childhood, I've been captivated by these mechanical machines that tell a story with every turn, every trace of rust, and every engine noise. True symbols of a bygone era, these vehicles embody freedom, authenticity, and a certain art of living.

It's this deep passion that drove me to create Motor Wheels Clothing. Each piece I design is a tribute to these mechanical legends: t-shirts, sweatshirts, caps, and other men's accessories, designed to reflect a vintage, retro, and timeless style. The designs are carefully crafted, inspired by the rockabilly aesthetic, the understated yet bold design, and the DIY spirit dear to Kustom Kulture.

Motor Wheels Clothing's values are based on three essential pillars:

  • : because you can't cheat with passion.


  • : each item of clothing tells a story, an anecdote, a memory of a workshop or gathering.


  • : a look that transcends the ages, for those who refuse to blend into the crowd.

My journey

My name is Julien Lacroix. Passionate about beautiful mechanics and a die-hard vintage enthusiast, I began sharing my world in 2021 on Instagram (@julien.lacroix.33). Through my posts, I've met a vibrant community of enthusiasts, collectors, bikers, and dreamers.

In 2024, after six years of reflection, observations, and doubts, I finally brought Motor Wheels Clothing to life. This brand is the result of a long personal journey: a blend of inspirations from the United States, the cradle of Kustom Kulture, and Japan, where the passion for vintage mechanics reaches new heights.

I wanted to create what I couldn't find here in Europe: clothes with a simple but sophisticated design, which exude freedom and authenticity. Pieces that I myself dream of wearing, and that I imagine you proudly displaying during your walks, your road trips or your evenings with enthusiasts.

This project came to life thanks to the strength of those around me, the people I met and my desire to make this crazy idea a reality: sharing my passion and my world through unique clothing.

Welcome to Motor Wheels Clothing.

Every purchase, big or small, has a footprint. You choose how big of a mark you leave on the planet, and I want to help you choose wisely.

One in five items of clothing ends up in landfill without having been worn once.

Packaging waste

I primarily use post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic packaging for all shipped clothing orders. I took this step to minimize the impact on the environment, as recycled materials save virgin resources and require less energy to produce.
