Can't get anymore Rocker than that TT jacket. Very similar to the Lewis Lightning.

 

[USMCRIDER]

Won this one on ebay for $55 with free shipping. Just hope it fits when it gets here.

 

[PatDoody]

thats a nice looking jacket as well, what brand is it?

 

[USMCRIDER]

It's a Wilsons. The newest version of this jacket on their website is $350.

Okay so I am stoked on finally getting my first real jacket. I don't even have it yet in my hands but want to share it. Its a TT leathers that I won off of ebay.co.uk thanks to a little tip about searching there from loco leon.

I am praying it fits well.

Glad to help...
Ya know.. I think I have one of those TT Leathers jackets here somewhere....

 

[locOleoN]

Oh! There it is... I thought I had one..

Great jacket. I do find that they are a slightly big fitting, almost a .5 size up.

This one is a size 40 but feels like a size 41ish.
I had a size 42 in a dark blue but it was just too big..

 

[locOleoN]

loved this dark blue one that I used to have:

These are jackets. More readily avaliable on ebay UK

Hey Leon..... what in the world do they use on leather jackets in the UK. Every one I get is almost sticky on the outside and sometimes on the inside..... great jackets though, they always fit me perfectly.... 8) 8) 8)

AHHAHA.. ewww. sticky!!.. You do realize that it rains 98% of the time there in the UK! so it could be vintage mold?
Naw, believe it or not I've never had that issues on any jacket that I get from there.

Yeah, I like those TT Leathers jackets. I also prefer KETT or Manx Leathers just a well!

 

[dewjantim]

Oh yeah...... I know all about the rain. I thought they might put the waterproofing wax that is used on the cloth jackets on the leather also. I have a Manx and a TT...... but ,so far, no KETT. I am going to have to get up a post of my newest leather, since it has been a while and I have gotten....... errrrr ..... a few more .....

The "stickieness" is probobly old leather conditioner/wax.

I was searching around ebay while I wait for my jacket from leatherup to be returned because it didn't fit and I saw this:

At $149 with CE approved armor it seems like a good deal, and it has a nice vintage look to it. I'm thinking about pulling the trigger. Has anyone ever seen one of these in person?

 

[USMCRIDER]

;D My Jacket came in and just a little bit snug but comfortable. ;D

 

[full on tin]

I've been looking for a new jacket for 2 yrs. now. I've got a vintage one handed down to me from my dad when I was 15 but I've outgrown it. So I finally found one that I fell in love and bit the bullet.

It's vintage and perfect! It's a Bristol and really nice quality.

Where did you stumble across this one?!? It would match my set perfectly. Let me know some details on the maker please

 

[scotch]

That blue TT jacket does look mighty familiar... I've worn it every time i rode this summer and absolutley love it! I picked up some patches that i'm going to attack it with in the next few months. I'll post up some pics once i get them stitched up.

 

[dewjantim]

Here are a few that I have picked up over the last several months ....... 8) 8) 8)

Here is my newest patched jacket (for my Triumph bobber) and a set of Frank Thomas racing leathers which I got cheap on ebay from Canada..... Most of my leathers come from Canada or Europe seems like they have a more tailored fit than ones from the USA. Now, having said that, most of the jackets I buy new are made here since Vanson is my favorite maker.....

 

[veloracermike]

Whatcha think of this one?

little too much in the way of hardware/zippers/stitching for me. For some reason, it reminds me of the bondage racing leathers.

Why do I know about this stuff....

 

[veloracermike]

Scored this off CL last night for 50 bucks. It's a Hein Gericke and it fits like a freaking glove.
