    Best book on leather jacket history?

    G'day guys, I'm trying to better my knowledge on the history of leather jacket design...specifically, motorcycle jackets are my thing. I've seen a few titles by Rin Tanaka that look very interesting. Is there a " gospel" of mc jackets that I should get? It's my first time buying a book on the...

    Schott Leather Quality

    I own 4 Schott leathers. I love them. I think the Vanson competition weight is serious biker gear. I recently picked up a CHP by Vanson and had a Dominator prior to this. The leather is thick and tough. I have a couple of Perfectos and 2 a-2 b Schott. Not historically accurate, but well made...

    Butte, I reckon the Vanson hides are as tough as any. Despite the fact Vanson are a pain in bot bot to deal with, their leather is undisputed. Interesting point about the seams, but I think the hide alone would save your hide, Id be more worried about making sure you have gloves on, decent...
