stylin leather jackets
« on: February 02, 2010, 11:49:55 AM »
In the latest issue of Cafe Racer magazine they ran a story about leather jackets. The ones with all the patches and studs on them. Are they still cool? Would you wear one? Or do you? If your out for a ride on your bike and you see someone wearing one of these do you laugh or say man that's cool?

Who cares what anyone else thinks about what you wear? As long as you like it is all that matters  ;)

i have a jacket like this, granted theres no patches or studs on it, but it looks just like the one dean martin wore and the one carpy wears.  i got it from leatherup.com.  good deal on price and shipping IMO.  i do have some patches sitting around that i want to get put on there though, just a matter of finding a seamstress...  i think the jackets are badass, but that's just my opinion

Don't get me wrong I love them too, but I don't want to be laughed at wearing one as I ride by.
