Not exactly as rough and tumble as my leathers, but it's got some style. I found this on eBay through Iron Pony, scored it for $29.99+shipping BRAND NEW! Got plans for more patches down the road, but I need to find a decent large patch for the back.
And a shot of the DTT patch, of course.
arcspeedworks said:For denim, yeah, this isn't half-bad. I would've preferred a Perfecto-type jacket over this, but that style just doesn't work with me. I almost got a leather Members Only jacket, but I wanted something that could actually provide some kind of protection. This at least lets me pull off a semi-retro look. Sadly, I've lost enough weight in the last month of owning the jacket that I should've ordered a large instead of an XL. For the price though, it's a killer jacket and it goes well with my Bell Revolver.

How did you attach the patches to the jacket?
arcspeedworks said:Nice. I dig the old school flavor. Reminds me, though, I still need to get me a DCC patch.
MILLENNIUM FALCON said:thanks! this patch cost way to much to ship from england but i really like the retro feel. the dime city patch is really nice too. love the color.
Blake said:Well Scotch, for those of us who don't wear leather jackets or might be pro-vegan, this thread can serve to cover jackets of the textile, imitation, waxed cotton, denim, etc.. style of riding jackets... ;D
Here's my Joe Rocket Atomic 2.0 jacket. Wanted it since I was a teen. They changed designs but luckily I tracked one down on clearance locally a few years ago. Wife surprised me one day with it. She said "if you're gonna ride, you're gonna ride safe." And yes, hell yes I'm standing in my bathroom taking pictures.
I have a boatload of patches. I'll stick some on the Joe Rocket jacket and save some for another jacket I plan to buy later this year.
I am considering buying this Vanson Leathers waxed cotton jacket. I saw it on Lowbrow Customs website but you can buy it direct from Vanson for $70 cheaper.
