Hello Jessica, What I'm about to say is meant in the best intensions. You really should think twice about selling items such as this. The Hells Angels have committed violent acts to people for doing far less offenses than what you’re doing here. Anyone belonging to the HA would never wear a jacket with painted on graphics of their colors. These colors (painted on graphics that appear on the back of your listed jacket) are revered and honored by them. I doubt very seriously they would even let them belong to anyone who wasn't a patch holder. Anyone wearing this jacket without earning these colors could be at risk if they actually encounter a member of the HA, anyone who supports them, or another rival gang member. I personally wouldn’t want that responsibility hanging over my head by selling this to unknown customer."

Here is some information dealing with 'classic' motorcycle jackets back in the 50's and 60's;
"Many motorcycle riders refused to wear the conventional jackets for riding. One of the major reason for this was the lose fit and lack of wind resistance a conventional fashion leather jacket provided. An every day mens leather jacket is not designed to sustain wind of 100 miles per hour. As a result the motorcycle riders needed a jacket that could be tighter and provided protection. Icon, alpinstar and Wilson leather were some of the first companies to provide such a solution. In mid seventies Harley Davidson introduce aesthetically great styles that are popular until today."
