Default Harley Jacket

My nephew suprised me with a gift a few days ago. He said that about 10 years ago when he was considering a Harley, a neighbor lady gave him a Harley leather jacket that belonged to her husband who was 85 years old back then. He gave it to me. It's a really heavy dark brown leather with a large Harley Bar and Shield logo on the back. The logo isn't a patch but is embroidered into the leather. It says" Harley Davidson Motor Company" on the logo instead of the usual "Harley Davidson Motorcycles". There aren't any labels inside that I can find. It sure is in good shape. I've never seen one quite like it. Anyone ever seen a logo like that?

I'll give you $8 for it.

I doubt its worth much, but being a nice guy and all I would give you $50.00 to take it off your hands. Seriously though that is very cool!!!

I think that is the jacket I lost around Beaufort, SC in 1978. Frogmore or Hunting Island to be more specific.
