OK, who's not getting it? The jacket represents both a lifestyle and attitude. It has nothing to do with advertising for Harley. That makes no more sense than saying if I have a tattoo of an eagle I'm promoting eagles. People who wear a Harley jacket walk with a swagger, head held high and will look you in the face at a stop light. They stand a little different, lean on the bar a little different and grip your hand a little tighter when they shake it. When I wear my jacket, I'm not selling motorcycles...

Anyone else sick of this `billboard affect on the back of the MoCo jackets'?

Wouldn't these jackets look better with just a small HD logo or similar on the chest of the jacket rather or the trashy stuff on the back.


For the record I wear an FXRG as that is as understated as you can get here in Oz.

Exactly. I don't need or want all that embossed or sewn on stuff. Or pay a premium (plus) to have it. I used to buy my black leather "biker jackets" from Sears! They were about 50-60 bucks, heavy duty zippers, worked well and lasted about 8-10 years.

Don't have a better picture, back in the '70's cameras weren't as handy as they were today. Note the skull and Xbones on my glide in the back picture. I wore a Harley jacket and wasn't selling Harleys.

it's subjective, those that own them will say yes, others will say the jacket is made in china or pakistan with buffalo leather and probably costs $15.00 for HD to produce and it lists for $650+. i don't know, to me, if i'm buying chinese goods i'm not paying top dollar for it.

The Harley Forester jacket just might be the ticket for you. Understated. I think it's new.

Just bought this, haven't worn it out yet. Well made and zippered vents for warm weather riding. Very pleased.
