Love that Hat!
I don't ride, but do have these leather riding pants. They have this NRA tag which was used from 1931-1933 then abolished. These are one of the oldest leather garments that I have.

When I'm wearing vintage motorcycle leather I sometimes think of the first owner. My jacket and breeches were tailored around 1937 in Frankfurt/Germany. A very proud owner even took it to a photo studio. Young guns at the dawn of WWII. The owner of my riding gear probably lost his life in this insanity, because it's almost unworn.

These are great photographs!Here are photo´s from July 1947 taken at the bike meeting in Laconia N.H. They show pretty good the stylish motorcycle fashion back in the days. Right before the rookies of "The wild one" changed the motorcycle scene forever. You can see original Indian Ranger jackets, breeches, riding boots, belts and hats and Indians also. Enjoy.
