Having been the main British producer, and the impetus for the once gigantic superpower that was AMC (Associated Motorcycle Company: Matchless, AJS, Sunbeam, Indian and Norton), Matchless viably stopped to exist in 1966 (they thought it was all over, and it was). Yet, the rights to the brand were obtained by the Malenotti family – of late Belstaff popularity – in 2012, and utilized on another dress line called Matchless London, oversaw by Michele Malenotti, in the soul of the first attire division of Matchless framed by the originator Henry Collier in the 1930s.
