I don't know...I believe green is a far more versatile color than people at first think. And just the fact that you chose to rock green leather tells the world that you'll wear whatever the hell you please, thank you very much.
I agree. Green is a great accent but also neutral, in that it works with black, browns, blues, etc. I just avoid red so I don't look like a Christmas tree.

Green Jacket of indeterminate age made by an outfit calling themselves "The Original Leather Line". "Established a Long Time Ago, New York City". Don't know if they're still in existence I got this one off da Bay. Fits better now as I've lost more'n a few since this was taken.

I stumbled upon this green cafe racer in a random leather shop in Nashville, IN last spring, while on vacation. It shone like an emerald in a sea of black leather. It was, in fact, the only non-black jacket in the store. It was also on clearance, as it had apparently long-awaited a soul brave enough to embrace its whimsical hue.

It's made by First MFG, whom I hadn't heard of prior to this discovery. While the leather is a bit thinner than my usual preference and it doesn't have that $1,500 handmade veg-tanned artifact feel to it, the color is fantastic and it's buttery soft. I am particularly impressed by the large panels of leather, especially for the $150 price tag. YKK zips are solid and reliable. It's a functional riding jacket with zippered vents, a removable quilted lining and armor pockets. The fit is a bit roomy around the bottom hem, but for the price, it was a great find.

Whoa. I think we have the winner here. That is a perfect jacket and it fit you great even before you lost a few. If you get a chance, post some more pics of this.

Crazy that it would be hard to sell a jacket like this. Those zippered vents on your shoulder blades are really cool (which I guess is the point).

@Worf , I bought this jacket at their West Village (NYC) shop in 1993 or 94. They are out of business now. :(

Thanks for the information HM.... Did I buy it from you? Or was there some travel in-between you and I?

Worf
You got it from me ;)
