I wonder if the Harley lawyers that wander around during various biker events will start checking labels to make sure your jacket is "approved".

I am wearing a 1997 issue Harley varsity jacket, all leather. Just had the 3rd set of cuffs sewn into it. Thick, warm, sharp!

No not really, cat is usually done up Cantonese style, tastes better that way. As far as critters not being around you will see that in lots of countries that had famine in the lifetime of those still alive, China has had many in the last 80 years most recent in 1975. If you go to certain countries in Central American, you will not see big Iguanas, just small fast ones, once they get big enough they get eaten, not from starvation, just tradition I think..

Might as well order up your jacket straight from China! Save the huge markup! My genuine h-d fxrg jacket cost close to $800 from the local stealer, and its made in CHINA! By the way, its also a piece of crap, had to replace the zipper and the kindney belt ripped after a month!

Been in a number of places some in here can't even pronounce well off the beaten path all round the world , my dime too not uncle Sams little get get together's . Been to south american and had mexican tree rat ( Iguana ) before that is the nastiest thing I've had the misfortune put on my tongue . As for the China famine thing I honestly believe eat anything you can catch is a common cultural thing in all Asian countries in that area , Japan being a bit more cultured about it as an exception .

Even when I went deep in country in Papua New Guinea for the Sago worm festival when the deep woods tribes get together on neutral ground they had more refined eating habits than the damn Chinese or any other " nese "county in that area I've been in .

LOL! Absolutely true. They'll make your jacket at night, the ones for HD during the day.
