Motorcycle jacket recommendations

Question

Want leather, not textile. Want reinforced, not armored, don't want anyone's logo plastered all over it. Don't want 6000 zippers all over it.

For a cruiser type style, not crotch rocket type... so just black not all flashy g*y neon colors. Links appreciated

Answer 1

Look @ my picture. It's AGVSport Pilot.

Tight as h**l, looks tight as h**l too!

Answer 2

Fox Creek Leather - has exactly what your looking for and the testimonials to back up there claims.  They don't just -look nice- they are quality leathers that will protect your hide should you need them too.  They also offer free USA shipping on orders over $50.00, this helps justify the slightly higher cost of some of there items - then again you get what you pay for and they have quality leather.

Answer 5

I got my leather jacket from http://www.usmadeleathers.com/, actually bought it from the chick in the bw photo - that picture was taken a loooong time ago - she's got a few miles on her now:)

My primary jacket is an HD FXRG gortex jacket.  It has a very small HD logo on the back collar, unlike most HD stuff that has their advertising pasted all over it.  I looked at jackets everywhere, this is the one I liked the best.  

Answer 6

Just borrow your wife's jacket....should look just fine on you.

Answer 7

I have a Harley-Davidson FXRG jacket and my bike is my only transportation and ride year round.  I live in Texas, so our winters aren't as harsh as other places, but have ridden in 15 degree rain sleet and snow.  This jacket is bad a##!! It keeps me warm and dry. It is all black and only a the logo embedded on the front---not too noticeable.

Answer 8

Just find a Brooks and its a done deal

You should have saved the deer hide you killed for chaps

Answer 9

Buy a good thick leather one, preferably water buffalo

Answer 10

Vanson, hands down.

I've owned two in 18 years of riding. Both are still going strong, one took the brunt of laying the bike down, just scratches on the elbow.

They're usually high-dollar, but worth every penny.  

Answer 11

I have a cruiser, I actually just bought a mesh jakcet for the summer, it's cool in the hot weather. I bought mine on ebay for $36, they cost 200 in stores. Check out ebay, stores tend to rape you when it comes to jackets and accessories, you can find some great deals on ebay.
