Default how many is too many

I have a 14 year old large blk harley jacket that 'shrank' from when i bought my 95 fatboy, a 5 year old harley brown jacket that still fits (xl). Kind of want a blk jacket that i can fit into. that would make 3 jackets, plus dress jackets, ski jackets, and varius other uninteresting jackets in my closet!!! just curious, do an inventory of your closet, do you have alot of jackets? add it up!!! (money spent over the years) jeesh.

I only have one Harley leather jacket and one Harley rain jacket. I have so much Harley clothing it's almost embarrassing.

It's more than almost embarrassing when you actually wear them.

Just kidding. I damn near have a room full of Harley tees from everywhere I have ridden.

You can hardly ever have too many jackets, at least that is what I think.

I have my leather coat which was $350 roughly (clearanced), my 3 in 1 jacket (b-day/x-mas present), my screamin eagle coat (insurance paid for) and I had one of the nylon lightweight coats ($150). So I really haven't spent that much on coats.
