I have 2 leather Harley jackets, but never wear them. I wear my black navy flight jacket that has been converted into a bike jacket. I do have a Harley "wing" patch on the back, along with a sH#t load of rally patches sewn on it. I really dig the fur collar it has.
I bought a HD jacket (non-leather material). Almost like a denim. I like the convenience of a lot of the features it has on it (vents on chest and back, numerous storage pockets, and pockets on chest that has a d-ring hook to attach your keys to). I thought that this was a very well thought-out product and was designed by real motorcyclists. Even their jeans are designed differently. For example, they feature the fifth pocket on the right pant leg instead of the left. Works perfect for my ipod or anything else I may need to get to while riding.
Nothing wrong with Harley leather and apparel. The jackets are the coolest. Don't listen to the haters who are too cheap to spring for HD.
Right on! If you have the cash to put out then buy what you think looks good. I think it is funny when people call people with a little money a RUB because they wear the Harley stuff. In addition to the other HD stuff I own I also have a Harley chain wallet that looks pretty phat to me so I spent the 55 bucks on it. Big deal! This year I am going to get an HD spring jacket as well! I will be sure to post a pic
It seems,as long as 'fools' have money,HD will sell their overpriced junk clothing ......I am NOT a 'rolling billboard'....do you drive a Ford?...how much money do you spend on Ford clothing?...Chevy...Volkswagen?...its a 'look at me' thing...why else would you guys dress like clowns?...:>)
