    Leather Motorcycle jacket recommendations

    It's important you try the jacket on while sitting on a bike, preferably your bike. It will give you a sense of how the jacket will ride. A 2-way zipper is also a real plus. One problem with many lesser designed moto jackets is the collar (even a smaller mandarin collar) can ride up under your...

    Leather Motorcycle jacket recommendations

    I'd also caution about the spread collar. Even if it's held down with snaps it's gonna choke you a bit when your jacket is anywhere near zipped up full. Honestly, the best most utilitarian riding jacket I own is an old Schott Perfecto. Form and function on that one. If you want something less...

    Vanson leather - Chopper jacket

    I don't have any experience with the big L. But I have two Vansons. A Clubman waxed cotton which is a fine looking and utilitarian jacket. And a Continental Comet, which is an uber cool jacket that is real hard to find. I bought an XL off Ebay, knowing I'd have to get it tailored, which is where...

    Thanks, strokes. I didn't used to like the Perfecto style at all. But once you ride in one and realize how well it does it's job of protection, comfort, and utility, you get sold.

    Question About Jackets with a Belt Around Waist

    Gotcha. As far as the utility of such belts on leather riding jackets, (moto or scooter) I do find them useful, particularly in colder weather. They keep the draft from coming up. If you should go down, they also hold your protection in place so it doesn't ride up and you have road rash all over...

    Question About Jackets with a Belt Around Waist

    I noticed you're in Santa Monica. I had a great leatherman in Studio City, Gary at Barini Leather, find a solution on the tank scratches from a buckle. He very artfully and snuggly wrapped, matched and sewed some brown leather around my Schott Perfecto buckle. I don't ride with the buckle...

    Nice jackets. I'm a newbie here, but thought you guys might dig my old Schott Perfecto:

    Too Old for a Short Leather Jacket?

    If you ride a motorcycle or have some other utility for a short leather jacket, then it REALLY doesn't matter what others think. Best jacket for the job. Even if you don't ride, if you enjoy wearing a short leather jacket, who cares. Do what you like. Young guys with girlie bodies look even...
