Khaki's with a vintage motorcycle jacket?

[rocketeer]

You can wear black and tan but you have to code it to look right. That is Black jacket, tan shirt(T or button up), tan jeans with a black belt and finish off with black boots. I usually wear RM Williams riding jeans/jodhpurs.
Well it's my look anyway

What shade of tan? Light cream or beer color?

Light tan, really, not dark.
Usually a dark tan mixed with black tends to get my Irish mate all political haha

Rules are inventions, not laws of physics, so do what you want. I personally have a view about khaki's - I don't own a pair and to my taste they are fairly unfortunate looking trousers. I'd go corduroy, myself.

I've hated corduroys since I was a kid, but they do keep you warm.

I was out having breakfast in London the other day, wearing black Vanson PLU-3 cafe racer jacket, jeans and Red Wing 2268 engineer boots. At the next table was a guy wearing the same Vanson jacket, the same Red Wing boots, and tan chinos. What are the odds? Anyway, the point is that it looked good. With a shirt and jumper underneath he looked more vintage than I did, the khakis dressed up the whole outfit a bit more, rather than me looking a bit more 'bikie'.
I say go for it, as rocketeer said it is more how you put it together than anything.
Cheers,

Black A-2 Leather Jacket and Chinos (I know unusual...) but interesting combo and ... IMO it dresses up the whole outfit.

I like brown leather with khaki, but I think black leather looks good with a dark olive drab cargo pant. That's what I wear for motorcycle riding, if I'm not wearing jeans.

You're right - wear it also quite often with olive cargo pants and it looks more flattering ....much better than just black on black.

Khakis and black leather are traditional but the khakis should be dark. To hide the grease stains lol.

Did you know Einstein's favorite outfit was leather jacket, dungarees and turtleneck sweater? Yes that Einstein. It was the uniform of the student radical in Germany ca. 1900, borrowed from the working class and factory laborers.

Somehow, I think if Steve McQueen had worn dirty khakis stained with motorcycle oil with his black leather jacket, we'd all give that look a thumbs up!

Great pic! It looks like one of those Levis menlo jackets.

Regarding the classic motorcycle jacket style. I'm looking for a leather horsehide in seal brown similar in quality to the fine A-2 jackets
I have seen here but in the traditional motorcycle style with all the zippers & such ! Thanks.

uh as long as you are riding who the Hell cares. I road my Harley to work today and went back and forth to the different plants and dug every minute of it. Yeah I was in Khakis and if anybody doesn't like it well they can "Bite Me". Ultras Rule especially when you are riding down the road blasting Grateful Dead and Humble Pie next to the "Beemers"; you can wear any damn thing you want.
