Default How to identify the model of HD brand jacket?

Long story short, I went down on my bike last month at a high rate of speed.
The HD jacket I had on saved my *** tenfold but unfortunately the medics cut it off of me thru the breast to get to a compound fracture in my arm.


I want to find the exact same jacket to buy again but am not sure of the model or how to find out.


Thanks guys!

there is usually a part number on one of the tags. check the one on the lower side where all the cleaning instructions are.

if it is part of the 'core' group, you'll be able to replace it. if it is just one of the 'seasonal' offerings, they are usually obsolete by the time the dealer puts them out. i've run into that several times. i'll see one that i like online, go to the dealer, they won't have it, and i'll ask them to check the other dealers network and they'll tell me sorry, obsolete, don't show anyone having it in stock, and can't get one.

I think it is one of their seasonal offerings as it has very minimal HD lettering & "gawdiness" to it.
I will post a photo of the remnants in a few.

Here are a couple photos.






I know, I know...Made in China.
It fits me really well, comfortable and had great protection going down at 85+.

here's where the tag with the pn is on mine. i checked 3 textile and 1 leather jacket (wife has hd stuff too) and they were all the same.



these tags were down on the left hand side seam near the waistband.

All mine have down there is the care tag. It may have been in the section that was cut out though.

sometimes it's easier to identify the fingerprints of the Chinese children that made it.

I would take it to the dealership and let the ladies in the clothing department tell me what model it was?

Yep, the lady at the dealership I frequent is very knowledgable about their clothing line. I bet if she don't know, she can access somebody who does
