COOL GEAR: Harley-Davidson’s Americana Collection

By Dan Gregory - July 3, 2017

There is still plenty of time to show your American — and Harley — pride at your Fourth of July parade.

Even Independence Day nearly upon us, it’s not too late to visit your nearest Harley-Davidson dealership and load up on items from the company’s Americana Collection. Shirts, jackets, and caps emblazoned with the American flag will help you show your love of this country and one of its most iconic and enduring companies, Harley-Davidson, during this year’s 4th of July festivities.

Show your American pride with the Men’s Stars & Stripes Americana Tee ($40), which is pictured in the main image above. The cotton t-shirt features flag graphics created from a unique reverse cold-pigment wash that delivers a cool distressed look of Old Glory on the front.

Show your love of the U.S.A. with the Americana Bandana ($20). Printed with red-white-blue graphics and featuring a waving flag and the phrase “American Styling and Heritage,” the biker bandana is suitable for Memorial Day and Independence Day — as well as any of the 363 days of the year. Measuring 24″ x 24″, the size has been beefed up for even greater utility on the road.

The lightweight Performance Fast-Dry Mesh Skull Cap ($30) will cover your cabeza in style and make you look like a patriotic, Harley-riding badass for around $30. The polyester biker bandana features “American Styling and Heritage” flag graphics and has quick-dry wicking to keep you cool when you’re out riding the open roads in steamy summer weather.

Pay tribute to all who serve our country with the Skull Flag Americana Tee ($40). The front of the cotton jersey looks like a regular short sleeve shirt, but flip to the back for the bold and colorful artwork of a screaming skull and Old Glory, which sort of looks like the logo for another famous American icon: Metallica. Awesome, right?

Harley-Davidson salutes the Stars and Stripes with their Americana 39THIRTY Cap ($30). Flip the lid on the baseball cap for a great print of Old Glory. Harley’s iconic Bar and Shield logo also takes on patriotic red, white, and blue dimensional embroidery.

The Men’s Exodus Mesh Riding Jacketi ($145) is a worthy addition to the Americana Collection. The back features an oversized image of Old Glory with the expression “American Styling and Heritage.” The motorcycle jacket is constructed by pairing two kinds of mesh: tight weave and open hole, which results in a unique texture and look as well as a high level of air circulation. Perfect for Memorial Day and 4th of July parade rides.

Subtle but powerful patriotic graphics make this women’s Slash Back Americana Tee ($60) really stand out. The edgy T-shirt breaks all the rules with a slick design featuring slash cutouts and lacing running from neck to mid-back. If that’s not enough for your rebel-rocker tastes, the cotton tee has been mineral washed, too, to give it added softness and a faded look.

The rugged, sleeveless Women’s Americana Denim Vest ($85) lets you salute the country in style. The strategically distressed stars and stripes emblem and the funky-cool fringed armholes give the vest an extra dose of cool.
