Waste of good leather
Nice thing about opinions.... they are like ********, everyone has one. I kind like it but then again I wave at anyone and 225 is a great price just for the jacket

I guess in the motorcycle culture you have to sew on a patch, but I came up in the punk rock culture, where painting on leather was common (like about 99% of all leather jackets and lots of boots). So, to me, it's not good airbrushing, but otherwise a painted leather jacket is fine. I still have my last painted band jacket (cheapo Perfecto-style) at home somewhere.
On the other hand, a used HD leather jacket doesn't have nearly $225 resale value, regardless of the paint.
