This is my jacket and its one of my most prized possessions. I don't own many things. I'm not a hoarder, really. I give away too much shit to be a hoarder. I bought this jacket 12 years ago, maybe longer. Its got mileage well into the 6 digit category.
I bought it brand new. When its too hot in the summer to wear it when riding, I get bummed out. I start to miss it.I've been asked before, "where did you get that jacket, man? It's got just the right amount of patina!" Well its not distressed leather, I didn't buy it used or pre-weathered off of eBay so I could look like a seasoned rider. It's my jacket and I fucking love it.

The internet and choppers:
It's like the drunk faggot that your friend accidentally invited to your birthday party and then he invites all of his faggot friends too. All of a sudden, your house is full of faggots and you don't even know any of them. And, they don't you.
FTWWW.
where did you get the jacket maybe even the brand name those kind of jackets are hard to find with the zipper front...i dont have any gay friends either my friends dont either..
so am i gay just because i collect old leather jackets? i collect old evening gowns as well & like to clean in them because they make a nice 'swishing' noise as i move.
plus:
i have celebrated my birth with 'the gays'... as well as a couple chinese spies and a guy from the local state hospital out on a day pass. that was quite a birthday party. i was 10.
Who said anything about "gays?" If you equate "faggots" with "gays" that's your hang-up, not mine.
Davecat, why are you so angry?
Shut up, stupid.
Where are the matching assless leather chaps I gave you?
My house is full of maggots, it's because I buried Iris too close to the front door.
I think they might have distressed my leather jacket, now it's run off with
that whore next door.
We just had a memorial for my friend Jeff Lee, he was gay, but he wasn't a faggot, I know what faggots are.
i don't. i'm a loser.
it's funny that a post about a jacket has the most comments.
that's a fine jacket. see how there's a round thing on the zipper for the sleeve, that's some thoughtful design. When I was in high school I bought a cool guy motorcyle jacket, but it had regular zipper's on the sleeves. I dumped my bike on a freshly tarred and graveled road that had gotten soft due to the 110 degree Texas weather. The zipper spun around and stuck in my arm and opened it up from my wrist to my elbow, which then got filled with fresh tar and gravel. 20 years later I still have little gravel pieces in my arm. Something to think about if you're in the market for a new jacket.
I've got one now from the 30's that's made from horse hide. Must have been a ration on cows during the depression.
Anonymous person: I bought the jacket at Just Leather in San Jose, CA. They still sell a similar jacket (the price is way more now). I've gone through 4 or 5 zippers on that jacket already, and they always ship me a new one for very little or for free.
Mr.spasticreject: nice jacket story! I want to see that jacket. Send me a photo! Oh, and I put the rings on the sleeves because the old tabs broke off some years back. They're just key-rings.
And to everyone: Don't get me wrong - I can appreciate many things thats old/vintage. Its just that these days, people go out of their way to look and act like seasoned motorcyclists. ABSOLUTELY NO FUCKING DIFFERENT from the HOG BROS at the H-D dealership.
Fuckit Nelson, it's a nice jacket.
