US Caste System and Leather Jackets
As a point or two of clarification: - We work in similar capacities. - He knows I ride a bike but I don't know that he's ever seen me in a leather jacket - I took no offense... I just thought it was interesting, and - the remark he made had something to do w/ a blog of some sort that...- Trouser Bark

What was your first leather jacket?
I was gifted an A2 by an old roommate many years ago. I have no idea who mfg'd it but I wore it everywhere and once I had blossomed beyond its intended limits I didn't buy another for many years but thought about it. I now have several (no A2's) and wonder what kept me from taking the plunge...- Trouser Bark

US Caste System and Leather Jackets
65YO Electrical Engineer. You'd find him somewhere on the spectrum and he's inclined to say what he thinks and directly. I've never pondered that some may define socio-economic status by your choice of jacket but I think it's interesting that he and perhaps others may.- Trouser Bark

I enjoy wearing utility and m/c oriented leather jackets and have a thick hide of my own when it comes to other people's opinion of what I happen to like.

Which leather jacket for motorcycle (preferably brown) ?
I'm probably not the right guy to answer your question directly but I do see a perspective shared on this site often that strikes a chord w/ me. As I type this note I am recuperating from recent surgery to have my medial malleolus screwed back onto my tibia such that my foot would not wobble...- Trouser Bark

One Leather Jacket to keep rest of your life?
Long time listener, first time caller. I have a few leather jackets and have for the most part just bought whatever moved me at the moment I saw it. A couple Schotts, a Wilson, a Vanson, etc. Mistakes have been made but I like them all well enough. I'd like to try this differently next time...- Trouser Bark
