Default Wearing HD Jacket While Not On Bike?

Just curious how many of you guys out there wear your HD leather jackets even when you aren't on your bike? Obviously not when going somewhere fancy/nice, but what about heading to the pub/mall/friends place etc.

If I see a guy wearing a sport bike jacket when he's not riding, I usually think he looks like a fool. For some reason, it doesn't seem as bad with an HD jacket, since they tend to look more casual and seem to be designed to mimic a regular leather jacket, whereas sport bike jackets are all about function/protection.

I'm curious if there is a general consensus on this topic or not. Probably not.

I don't own any leathers with hd anywhere on it. But whatever people want to do I could care less. Just don't overdo it especially those who wear harley stuff but don't ride or own a bike.

I'm no problem, doesn't look good though.

My riding jacket is also my winter coat. Doesn't say HD, though.

HD leather? Don't own any.

But if I did I'd wear it wherever. I don't give a crap about what anyone else thinks of what I wear, and the older I get the less I care. That would be their problem, not mine.

I don't think anything about it when I see someone wearing a leather jacket and not on a bike. I might snicker to myself if I seen them get out of a car wearing chaps though.

I really don't much GAF what others are wearing.
