My Leather Jackets...

Just a big leather jacket fan, and heck, anything leather to begin with. Here are two of my jackets with the most miles on them. They don't have armor so some of you won't approve, but hey man to me they're the bees knees.


My Legendary Wild Stallion in brown horsehide (4 oz hide).






My Langlitz Cascade in mid-weight cowhide (even though it's their mid-weight cow it's very heavy stuff).



What do you guys wear?

Unfortunately the only leather jacket I have has Harley Davidson on it. I am really looking to purchase a fox creek like this.

A bud of mine has a Fox Creek jacket.. he loves it and the quality is first rate...all for a more affordable price than other high end moto jackets (Langlitz, Aero, Lost Worlds, etc). I don't think you can go wrong with one.

I own two leather jackets. This one which is a Harley "Bronco" jacket that I don't wear now, but it's too good to get rid of.



And this one which is my Triumph "Dean" jacket.



Both are similar, the Triumph jacket needs to be worn in a bit as it's new.

They are kind of similar...

... both just have classic good looks. I like both of those jackets.

I was looking at the Dean Jacket myself or maybe the BMG Montana. Anyone have any feedback on that jacket?

I've heard only great things about the Montana jacket... check out WebBikeWorld's website.. they have a great in-depth review of it. Sounds like you can't go wrong with it.

lgregory.. I treat my leathers with Montana Pitch Blend. I consider them the best leather care products around.. other's swear by Pecards.

Thanks for the tip on the WebBikeWorld review. I will check it out! I have a pair of the BMG Thermosport Gloves. I have been happy with those, particularly for the money. It gives me confidence to buy from them again.

I'm shopping right now for a leather, have been for a year. I'm being really picky with style. I might of found one I like from www.caineleather.com. Really good price and they ship to the US.
