mostly my Club's colors jacket, jeans and boots..

 

I'm assuming you mean while riding. In the 70's it was 3/4 helmet, mesh jersey, jeans and big side buckle motocross boots (I rode dirt bikes in those days). In the '80's it was jeans, t-shirts, steel toed boots bought through my workplace and a leather jacket from Sears. The jacket cost me $90 and served me well for many years until I couldn't zip it up anymore (it was a size 36-I was a skinny dude in those days). I wore either a full face helmet or a 3/4 with face shield in those days and rode Yamaha sport bikes.

 

Bought my first leather jacket in 1975, HD brand ............. I have since grown out of it but a buddy is still wearing it ....................

 

I wore a diaper.

 

So was mine. It was a great jacket. Bristol is still around, but expensive compared to all the offshore stuff around these days. They used to custom make jackets for people way back.

 

Would it be this model?

 

My first leather jacket was one I had custom made in 1983, by a local tailor, when I was stationed at Kunsan AB in Korea. I showed him a picture in a magazine and picked out a nice, thick black cowhide. He made a really nice jacket; kind of bomber style with lots of pockets including concealed inside pockets. I wore that thing constantly for years, it even served me as a pillow or blanket a few times! Two of my sons wore it throughout their high school days and it still hangs in my closet today, although pretty beat up. The only reason I don't still use it is because I'm at least 50 lbs heavier now than I was back then.

 

I had a cheap windbreaker style that had some kind of silver goo that Kept the wind away.
It was sold by Honda so, of course in the mid 70’s I rode a CB 740 four!!

 

Hell I froze in the 80's wore what I could find in layers. Broke down and bought a HD leather years ago that has been perfect.

rk classic.

 

More fashion bandwidth we'll never get back...
