Do a search for Schott and look up their 585 jacket. It's nice and worth looking at.

Mine didn't come with any armor but has the pouches in the shoulders and elbows if you want to add it. I took the armor out of my hydration jacket and put them in the leather.

I don't have a brown leather jacket but I do like the look of the distressed ones. Not because they may look used, but I just like them. Most people aren't fooled by them anyway so I don't see why anyone would care.

I wouldn't mind one for the right price but I'm not sure a large would fit me. I'm 5'9" and 220lbs.

I have a black leather jacket that's a size large that fits I won off a radio show about 5 years ago. I won't wear it because it has a huge "Full Throttle" embroidered on the back and white flames on the sleeves. A shame too because it's a nice jacket otherwise. But I don't know if sizing on leather jackets are universal. Which I doubt.

Seems to me one buys a distressed leather jacket because he likes the way it looks not because he wants to look like an old timer with a lot of mileage. High mileage usually shows up in your face.

Had a Wilson leather distressed brown jacket. It was identical to billings jacket except no hd logos. So much so that a sales person at Harley dealer asked how I removed the Harley labels. Anyway, got it for $50.00 on clearance. Pockets tore around buttons after a year . Too distressed I guess . Loved the look but it went to rescue mission.
