Harley Davidson Momoa series by Vanson

[Viking752]

Stumbled upon this collaboration between Harley Davidson and Jason Momoa. These jackets are built by Vanson. Interesting D pocket placement and overall different take on a classic.

Why?

I literally can’t make any sense of the jacket.

 

[TREEMAN]

Weird…

 

[The Big Kahuna]

I am a BIG Vanson fan , but that is just daft ?

 

[jacketjunkie]

Having a pocket on the back reminds me of climbing.. you usually store chalk or a drink on back for easier access when on the wall. I am not convinced this is applicable for riding though..

If Jason Momoa's acting range was a leather jacket...

 

[Marc mndt]

I'm allergic to these ruffled edged labels. To me those are indicative of 80s or 90s 'vera pelle' / 'real leather' junk type of jackets.

 

[Spiney]

I honestly hate it.

 

[Carlos840]

Thing is, i don't know what the "classic" is in this case...
To me this just looks like someone who knew nothing about leather jackets mixed together a bunch of randome leather jacket features and then just slapped a Harley Davidson label on it and gave it a vague connection to a "cool hairy guy the kids like" to give it value and appeal.

This has no link to any historical HD models, no links to any Vanson historical Models, it's just a hodge podge of randome crap thrown together.
The D pocket in the back is IMO moronic and the leather looks like cheap 80s jacket printed crap.

+1 to hating it.

As my daughter likes to say “make it make sense”

Hate is pretty strong, but I wouldn't want my name any where near this jacket.
I'm getting old and I couldn't reach that back pocket to save my life. Or maybe the person behind me could pull out the pistol and stick me up. (Only if they steal the jacket)

 

[Schambach]

Cycling jerseys and jackets often have back pockets, which are handy. Don't think I'd want or use one on a motorcycle though, especially with a zipper.

No, pocket is completely non functional when riding. Even unzipping hand warmers is tough. Check out the ad for the line. It’s full of ridiculous products

Does seem to be the watermark for cheap.

For me the only thing I like about the jacket is the lining, especially the iconic Knucklehead motor image.

Back pocket for accessing your left kidney, just in case.......

 

[Cheech]

That pocket tells me that this jacket was clearly meant to be worn one way. Didn’t any of you come of age in the 90s?
