Looks kinda like the Fox Creek Vented Racing jacket, but it's not that one either (no shoulder patches and the leather doesn't look as heavy).

You mean like this one?

leather.com

It's not exact, but who is going to know? The flag is leather, jacket is a soft leather with a regular collar, snap sleeves, elastic waist. Also has a snap out liner. I've personally used this jacket to 40* at 70 MPH with the liner and stayed warm.

I got a Schott Easy Rider for my birthday this year. I've worn nothing but Vanson leathers for the past 20 years, but this Schott is nice. The leather is very thick and very soft. It's a nice quality piece. Definitely worth the coin.

Thanks all for the help. I'm getting close but no cigar. I've seen this jacket some where but can't recall just yet.

Default Peter Fonda's Jacket
Fonda was in New Hampshire for Bike Week in Laconia and was the grand marshal for the parade -- Fonda said that although it's liberating to head out on the highway on your motorcycle, the rider must be focused on the task at hand. (June 16, 2003).
