Great find at this price!

ai copywriting on the description really does not recognise the faux pas ....
"Whether you're hitting the road on your motorcycle or just running errands around town..."

Lol. Yeah, I too can smell AI copy from 10 miles. That will change, though.

Just noting this is probably a vinyl jacket
I totally understand why you see it this way. However, this jacket is significant for many collectors. Back in the late 50s, there were few companies (Trojan) who were adding white as a safety feature. Additionally, Vinyl had its advantages over leather and was considered a new product for the motorcycle industry. As many fads, vinyl did not do well in the with the motorcycle jacket crowd, but did ok in other garment industries. As a collector, I would buy this jacket for its significance in the motorcycle scene. HD was a company that constantly was reaching out to other markets. Their strategies were used by other manufactures and benefited their bottom line.
