    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Just curious...by "most people," are you speaking of the general public, or is there a segment of the leather jacket cognoscente that is really into the newer/repro stuff. I am admittedly ignorant. I only keep up with a couple of threads on this forum, and my perception is that many on those...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I clearly understand why people might want a new repro jacket. The issue was value, not desirability. Am assuming you mean $75 US. I spent 30+ years in and around global manufacturing and worked with machinists who machined nuclear reactor components. They made $35/hour tops. $75/hour is...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    My uncle owned one jacket and lived/rode in it 365 days a year. In that sense, one could really break in a HH jacket. Some might think it boring as hell to own just one jacket, but one would be hard-pressed to touch it in terms of being sculpted to his body.
