What type leather jacket do most of you wear, classic or British racing style with the snap collar? I'm looking at both but can't decide. I narrowed it down to the side zip cruiser or the armored racing jacket from Leatherup. Which is the more common for a Harley rider?

 

Go with that YOU like the most.

I wear a full face helmet when most people seem to associate those with metric bikes.
Who cares what the rest think.

But to answer your question, I don't know all about the different types.
Mine is zip up with a snap at the top, no collar.

I bought the foam armor and put it in the elbow pockets.

I don’t care for the traditional motorcycle style jackets…..I don’t know if mine would be a British style or what…..

I agree – pick what YOU like.

 

If you get a jacket and or button down shirt with a Collar.

Make sure that the collar can be snapped down. If not, be prepared to get beat in the face with it. That is all.
I have two jackets one with a snap down collar and one without a collar.

 

I have the "british"type racer jacket. Seemes to have better protection and when I traded in the Busa I was not buying a new leather

 

I don't know . I got mine from a friend. I think it is a Wilson, with thinsulate. I am shopping for another one at the pawn shops now.

 

One of the basic style jackets that Harley sells.

 

i personally wear the traditional motorcycle type. but i'd look like a sausage stuffed into one of the brit type jackets.
i have one that i got from wilsons but i'd like to get one of the custom jobs from langlitz leathers in portland, or.

 

I prefer the traditional jacket and mine is from Fox Creek Leather. http://www.foxcreekleather.com/6.html. I wear it year round for the most part.

 

I prefer traditional.. Arts Cow Parts in New England have quality goods.
