Dare to Dream: Your "Ultimate" Leather Jacket

[handymike]

Here's a great letterman style jacket.
The. SJC Winter "Crusher"

Butte, have you been to the vintage Muscle car dealer in Montrose?
some nice cars up there

The blue one is an Aero. Modified Cafe Racer with J100 details.

Apologies for not giving credit where it's due....figured the Vincenza was a direct link to Aero!

 

[ton312]

Yes!!!!!!!!!

Great thread!!!

Current lust-list. I'll take the "cheap" Daytona, but Spade's (copper color) was over $900k. Bought it at auction on the phone. I sorta hate that guy...

So, what should I wear in this? View attachment 50116

like Robert Downey Jr. did... Completely nothing

Love the GT-R. I sold mine a year ago.

Jesus Christ you had one of those? I like that more than the R8 haha

I'm about to have my ultimate jacket:

I don't know what car is supposed to go with this, but if I could have any car it would be:

Definitely in purple and with a twin turbo LS motor for ultimate tire shredding. I probably won't be able to afford one until it's legal to import one into the US anyway

OK, how about an East West Barnstormer.

Or the Aero version, which is slightly simplified.

The top one is an Ibis reproduction, and looks like it's based off a Café Racer style. So I'd find some blackmail pictures of John Chapman, and convince him to build one off his J100 pattern. I'd get it made out of the natural Vicenza horsehide, and add a few tweaks to make it more motorbike friendly.

As for a ride, I'd be tempted by a Triumph Thruxton R.

That would be Buco j-82 padded with my Harley ..rough craft zero

I'd like a repro made of this Sears (same as the one Clooney wears in that mediocre movie Leatherheads) without the belt. I love that it is clean without the ugly pocket flaps you generally find on a long half-belt.

Looks a lot like an Aero Northeaster, though of course with just slash pockets at the hips. I kinda like that cleaner look too - I can see why a lot of folks have gone with that mod on long halfbelts and the likes.

Here is my ideal garage.

I'm indifferent to bikes or cars and currently have to own and drive a car for personal reasons. Can't wait to get rid of it. Public transport is terrific in my part of Melbourne.

Heh, I hear you - I only have a driving licence because I grew up in rural Ireland where the public transport network doesn't cover half the places you need to get too, and even when it did, back then the last train home was 9.30pm... I'd only consider running a ar now if it was something fun, as per my list, and I was rich.....

Mind you, if I had an empty garage that size here in London, I could probably put a bed, cooker and fridge in it and let it out for a grand a month.... !

 

[handymike]

If I had a garage like that, I'd make my own dream jackets

 

[mendelboaz]

I am totally feeling you, Ralph Chen.

I'd say I already got my dream jacket(s). I've owned my standard Vanson Comet in a very soft, dark brown steerhide for a little over a year now and it is breaking in very nicely. Definitely a keeper. I have yet to put up a proper fit pic on here, but I will in due time. Paired with my Vanson Model B, two tone Aero J106 and brown zip sleeve Highwayman, I can hardly ask for any more jackets. Except for a Good Wear A-2 and a deadstock Buco J-24.

Cheers

It's got to be a Leather Monkeys jacket for me. Their Invictus jacket is just perfect.

That's very cool! I'd love to read a review on one of these.

My daily (heavily modified) Swedish ride 200 BHP Today A-1 jacket & RayBan Wayfarers, some tomorrow hopefully a Black ANJ-3

 

[bn1966]

My latest scooter (Knox armour & Draggin K Kevlar under G-1 & ANJ-3 in the future)

 

[Fanch]

bn1966 I like your latest scooter. This thread has gradually morphed into our favorite dream transportation. Not exactly my "dream ride" but how I travel 30 miles each way to work every day.

Adding the Trumpet too. One jacket, one bike, one car.
