Vanson Harley Cycle King Review & Question

[cbass93]

Perfectly put. I could have not written it better. The HDCK is an iconic jacket. Only the "Elvis" Cycle champ can match it. By the way, I ended up with your tan cycle king, gifted from an old friend of mine. He surprised me because He loves that jacket as well. It looked new when he gave it to me. Did you ever wear it?

Did the "tan" cycle king look like this? I like the jacket so much I'm considering buy the brown version. Is the picture accurate for a legit HDCK?

A great number of leather jacket do not need conditioning. Your jacket is less than a year old. Unless the jacket had a very serious mistreatment by either water or extreme dryness there is no need for conditioner. A horsehair big shoe brush is your best friend.

Agree. However, I have seen that the "moisture" of a neutral chemical free conditioner helps to break it in very quickly. Kind like the "rain/mist treatment". Not to mention this jacket, while "new" was actually made in 2022 (I think based on the tag) and has been sitting around could use a little attention.

No it does not. What I got was a replica of a cycle champ. The HD cycle champ and cycle king are two different jackets. I would consider the jacket in the image a dark brown? The jacket I got was made in a caramel color. Personally, I do like the made in Korea HD jackets. Would not give my opinion based on a single image of a jacket. A good lower price HD Road king reproduction is made by a Canadian company Brimaco and British Sportswear here is an image of such jacket Circa 1980's . For the price of sub $200 US I think is worth it. If you can wait get the HD RK. They do show up on line for Sub $600.
