Default Harley jackets commonly 350 to 450 clams..Is this better?

Just pointing out that a quality, lightly used, sometimes even new made in USA jacket can be found for the same price for little effort.

Took me all of 5 mins to find this one. If I were in the market, I'd email the seller and offer him about 75 bucks less to make the price go down even more.

Vanson makes great leather MC jackets, IMO better than anything HD markets.

You really think he would consider 75 dollars? That's really low - balling. He probably would not respond.

All you are paying for with any Harley clothing is the name. It's not like they actually make any of it and most of their items are made over seas.

The trade off for buy used clothing is that you do not get to try it on first, especially in a case like this where they have shortened the sleeves.

Most used clothing is dirt cheap compared to new.

That jacket is FUGLY. I wouldn't take it if he paid me and shipped it free.

Hope he finds a midget that wants it after he had the sleeves shortened.

Wouldn't a new HD jacket like that cost that much? Or close to it?
