$23 Sears leather shop. I hit it with brown Urad. The lowest form of leather, weighs 2.6 lbs. Fits to the nuts though and it’s certainly different. The official jacket of nose candy and disco. Now if only I could buy back my ‘78 Camaro…

Before and after for $23 and some vision and elbow grease is a flex man. Looks great and you ain't biting anyone's style with this look.

I promise you that there are a bunch of dudes looking at this era of jackets through new eyes.

That's f*&%ing wicked in my opinion.

I think after it’s dyed it’ll be really cool! Initially looked like it could have come as part of a party city cellophane wrapped 70’s costume (complete with Afro and mutton chops). I love a challenge and most 70’s era leathers just aren’t that good. But making ugly stuff look cool is part of the fun for me.

It's crazy how similar two places that are so far away can be. I've been to Bergen by sea and I found that it really did look like the West Coast of Canada to me.

Great jacket BTW! I bet it's great on the bike, but how you find it for wearing casually? It's defiantly a "one day' jacket for me.
It's a ballsy jacket, but I love wearing it casually as well. Nobody has ever commented on it, but I am guessing people have their opinions. Great on the bike, great for everyday wear if you ask me.

Can you wear it open/partially open, or mostly totally zipped? You're right, it's ballsy....but it's rad. Just like leather pants, just gotta fully commit!

I dont have anything new to take pics more often, and still not enough fading or patina on anything yet to show off, i bought that belt buckle online locally, and very simply turned it into a belt with lighter 2mm leather
