I like the Carhartt, or the BassPro style shirts with short sleeves, and wear a long-sleeved Harley tee under them.

Yep. What Tony said.

It's really a preference thing, but I don't like loose fabric flappin' on my arms. I don't care much about lookin' cool. I left that behind with my youth. I do care about BEING cool!

If the tag says Harley or Corvette, get out your cash
As long as the market will bear the price, it will not drop.

Bowling shirts. If you have to have logos, buy them and have them sewn on or sew them on yourself. About half the price of the HD shirts.
