Errrrrrrrr?.................No.

Looks ok as a project to refine your machining skills. But no doubt someone will buy one.
If you see someone wearing this, please point and laugh out loud. Maybe, just maybe they may be mentally scarred for life.

 

[Cocker]

What the...?!

 

[Monitor]

I'm fairly certain my grandmother had the exact same blanket. I think I would wear this more than any other jacket, TBH. Thank God I cannot afford it.

 

[navetsea]

well since we spend half our life sleeping, it is a good investment.

 

[Sloan1874]

I actually quite like it. It's all about attitude. If you wear it without self-consciousness it'd just look fine. You'd need to pair it carefully though...

 

[ton312]

I think if you paired it with this and never separated the two you'd be fine:

 

[Monitor]

I don't think you can wear this without being self-conscious. That thing makes too much of a statement. It would work with the bike provided you don't stop anywhere at all, ever.

 

[Fanch]

I could live with the bike but not the Himel jacket.

Not to my tastes, but it's kind of interesting. Presumably Himmel has a market in mind for this or it wouldn't have been made? I'm sure there's a corner of Tokyo whered the fashionistas would love this. I could even see it cahing on ,as a look, in the UK: the MA1 alike trend of late seems to be evolving with ever-increasing numbers of jackets available on the high street with 'souvenir jacket' style embroidery. Thids isn't a million miles away from that look, really.

probably too fast to give other people a chance to properly admire such masterpiece, this one is as regal and much safer, note how the saddle match the sleeves both in hide color and hardware

Good point Edward, even Urban Outfitters is slinging those souvenir jackets. The idea is cool but I would never have the stones to wear that around. Somebody, somewhere can pull it off I'm sure. I think it'd be cool to see the body done in hair on hide too. I know DH toyed with it on a Brimaco remake.

LOL

 

[Fanch]

Two nice rides

 

[nick123]

I'd wear it to a tiki bar!

 

[Fanch]

Kidding aside, difficult to imagine choosing this one ...


over these ...

 

[Feraud]

I dislike the use of two ugly (IMHO) patterns but if it were a single southwestern or middle eastern design I'd like it a lot more. It cannot be any worse than using fur for the body panels.

 

[ton312]

I like this. Right down to the BCL label. It'll put a little hair on your chest so to speak.

 

[Fanch]

^^^ not bad but maybe better (less busy) without the vertical stripe, although I think the look is based on an iconic design.

This is more a kimono racer than a kaff racer.
