I don't know about the one in the movie, but Schott, that made the original biker jacket in 1913 and the one Brando wore in Wild One, makes a copy of it - http://www.schottnyc.com/motorcycle-...motorcycle.htm

Men's 26" Heavy Cowhide Easy Rider Jacket, accented with Red,White, and Blue Racing stripes on front and sleeve. Jacket features zip-out pile liner, polyester lining, bi-swing back, underarm footballs, and adjustable side buckles. The jacket does not have a USA flag on the back of the jacket.
Union Made in the U.S.A by UNITE HERE local 169.

No flag on the back? Not a very good copy.

Kerr leathers made one a few years back but it's no longer available (with the flag on the back - an absolutely essential detail).

Not that hard to put one on it - Fonda took the flag off of the original jacket and auctioned it off - maybe you could find that one.

My link doesn't work for some reason so here is another. They don't put a flag on the back, but if you wnat one on there, buy a flag and ahve it sewed on by someone with a heavy duty sewing machine.
