I want to find a leather cafe jacket that says "Honda"
« on: April 22, 2014, 05:05:37 PM »
So all the Harley guys have no shortage of logo and branded gear. I'm finishing up a 1975 Honda CB 750 as an OEM restore and I would love to get some sort of awesome leather jacket in a café racing style that has the logo 'Honda' on it. The jacket itself doesn't have to be vintage from the 70s but I wouldn't mind some sort of café racing look, definitely not some type of "hog" look.

Anyone know where I might start a search for something like this?

I suggest buying a jacket for its safety/protection/comfort features, first, then have a professional sew a patch on it. 
Tons of patches online.

I'm afraid I'd do a bad job of specifically applying patches.

I hear you, I have patches from two years of GZ and still nothing on my jacket.  Best to take it to a professional.
