Default Harley davidson jackets

From time to time I visit the MoCo website to see what is new in jackets, now this is my problem; I will find a FINE LOOKING jacket only to find on the back of the jacket there is some huge motif (like an Eagle, flames or a skull)....thoughts are `why have they ruined a perfectly good jacket with all that OTT stuff on the back'. Anyone else sick of this `billboard affect on the back of the MoCo jackets'?

Wouldn't these jackets look better with just a small HD logo or similar on the chest of the jacket rather or the trashy stuff on the back.


For the record I wear an FXRG as that is as understated as you can get here in Oz.

I totally agree with you. It would be nice if they were made in the USA also.

I'd stick with the FXRG gear, well made and understated.

Not only does it look tacky but also way to expensive.

You want a Schott jacket, the Harley stuff is from China and Pakistan.

HD has a lot of really nice jackets as you say, I as you don't like the stuff all over the back. It is a shame as there are probably three different jackets I would own if not for that.

Great jackets, I own two. It is all about the free advertisement.

Got this one at 20% off. Logo on back blends in until light at night hits it and reflects.
