Re: Do you have - or do you plan to have - the current ""in style"" motorcycle jacket?

No, I don't own one. I'm very picky about jackets. I half-heartedly looked for one last year, but didn't find anything I liked enough to own.

DH and I own a Harley so I own a true motorcycle jacket.

Truth be told, I'm a wimp and rarely if ever ride when it gets cold enough that I need such a coat.

Wearing a moto jacket as part of fashion isn't my style.

They are cute, but no. It is a fad so I don't wish to spend my money on leather fads, which is expensive. I will just use my two classic style leather jackets again. If I buy a fashion item that is a fad I will purchase something less expensive such as a top. Just my opinion on fads.

During my halcyon days of years gone by, I bought a true Harley leather jacket, too. I still have it but I don't go near a motorcycle now. I did love riding, though, in my "what was I thinking" days.

I've been lusting after that Jacobs one too. And I agree. It's been around for years. First created in the late 1940's. It's an "attitude" fashion (like the tight skinny jean) Not for every woman. But if you can wear it, it's great.

I want one that looks like the moto jacket from B Republic. Essentially a gray moto. Was hoping for a ponte version and not leather so I could wear w/ skirts and a boot.

Last time I got my backside on a motorcycle I was around 22 and in love w/ some 'wild' guy.

Okay, actually he just graduated as an engineer and could only afford a motorcycle because he was going to go to grad school to become an architect. {#emotions_dlg.blush}

On September 16th Dennis Basso is going to have a washable suede motorcycle jacket as his TSV.

OMG- years ago I purchased 'washable suede' gloves form Q. HORRIBLE! Without washing the fabric wore off to a shiny patch and I threw them out. I'll take real suede , thanks!

I purchased a gray leather moto jacket from Neiman's 3 or 4 years ago. Love that jacket. They are not going anywhere soon.
