Many thanks!! Appreciated! I hope your Harro will work out for your as good as mine! Keeping fingers crossed and I'm looking forward to fit pics as soon as you received it!
@Monitor Your numbers do sound dramatic but you're definitely not wrong with your assumption and Man, do you know ALL brands on earth??? You can give feedback on every single brand like Harro, Engelbert Vanek. Impressive!
@navetsea Thanks very much! It's definitely far away from a fashion jacket but when wearing it I feel like wearing a avantgarde fashion jacket in a positive way as it looks somehow special and not everyone wears such a jacket.
@ton312 Thanks very much. It feels really comfy like custom made and much better than most of my custom made Aero jackets.
@MrProper Thanks, man, I also appreciate your positive feedback!
@Jin431 Thanks very much! It does just feel perfect in every way including the length of the jacket as I'm still struggling with the Tauber's length as much as I like this special one!
@58panheadfan Thanks a lot! No way, someone at home would kill me if I had another expensive hobby! But who know what happens in 5 years...Very nice, now you need a motorbike
@58panheadfan Thanks for sharing the link! Will have a look.
Late 70’s/80’s!
e the exact same one, but mine doesn’t feel like horween, it’s a lot softer and like calfskin, has a top coating feel to it.
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather. 
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. 
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style.
Good question. I think if I was a motorcycle rider I would definitely have known the brandname Harro before. Why did you sell your Harro jackets? I hope not the one you posted here? It looks fantastic! When reading your post and when wearing and looking at my Harro I'm more and more starting to think why "the hell" have I spent (and still I do) so much more money on much more expensive leather jackets....somewhat strange feeling....I'm sure the feeling is gone tomorrow when I wear another (more expensive) jacket but there wasn't often a jacket which felt perfect like this - with the Brimaco (I actually wore it during an evening walk today with family) I bought through Vinted for 89€ I had the same feeling but the leather on the Harro is way better!I'm actually surprised you weren't aware of Harro, what with hailing from Germany & all, as they used to be extremely popular in most of Europe, being considered a cult classic nowadays & standing shoulder to shoulder with Dainese and Lewis Leathers. These were the three giants and the only real players in the motorcycle scene during the 60's & 70's. Harro having the most elaborate & fanciest styling of the three, taking cues from the classic German leather jacket styling, same as LL did with British, which was much less gaudy and more of a... Well, working person's clothes.
You're rightfully comparing Harro to Real McCoy's or whatever, really. I've had many of their jackets though it just so happened that I had to sell them all - First two didn't quite fit me and the last two were associated with my ex and were just painful reminders of her and a shitty end to a shitty relationship. But each was a gem with details & features surpassing anything I've seen from any US or UK maker - No offence intended of course; I personally prefer classy simplicity myself in a leather jacket but it is neat to see what a good maker is capable of producing and how much more can be done with a leather jacket.
Anyway, as brands don't mean much to me, when I got into this past time, I'd just buy whatever I liked and that's how I got to learn about European brands. There's an equal amount of history right here, just waiting for some Japanese fellow to write a book about it.
But yeah, Harro is a diamond grade maker and you'll be hard pressed to find two that are alike. At least from the era we're talking about, which is where your jacket belongs. You'll see as you buy more. Later on, sometimes in the 80's I think (not sure on the numbers), they got rid of their classic design and began producing stuff like Polo and Hein Gericke does and that was the death of them.
There's a maker in Germany right now that's reproducing Harro's most classic design, a mandarin collar cross zipper with fuzzy lining.
Anyway, my favorite Harro jacket and among top 3 I owned...
@Ole K. Vik Looks fantastic your Hulk / Grizzly combo! I'm always glad to see Grizzlys in the wild and the Himel version is my favorite one - I ordered a Thedi version at least twice but have always changed the order to another one as I don't have the "cochones" to wear it!
You hear him howling around your kitchen door
This is cool! What is it? At first I thought model A but collar doesn’t jive.
