Re: Casual Motorcycle Jackets
I've got one of these (ignore the hoody bit it zips off). Slightly less distressed and no trumpet logo. They do about 3 versions with different stripes.

Re: Casual Motorcycle Jackets
My bro really likes his I think he got the one with the white bits on the arms. Comes with level 2 armour and back protector too, not sure he's worn it in anger yet but hopefully gonna catch up with him tomorrow for lunch on the bike. I'll ask him. He is a member here but doesn't really postLe_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 4:32 pmI like thatSupermofo wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 4:31 pm The RST jacket my Bro got 150 notes and AAA.

Re: Casual Motorcycle Jackets
I've got a Revitt jacket that's quite similar to that, but my expanding stomach means it's a bit snug now.

Re: Casual Motorcycle Jackets
What about textile jackets, I've remembered I could wear the top half of my Dainese two piece leathers.

Re: Casual Motorcycle Jackets
That's a bloody bargain, in fact so much so I started buy one from Motorcycle Megastore's website but got distracted with something, and when I returned to check out they had applied a further £7.50 discount so it's coming my way for a paltry £67.49 with free postage- resultweeksy wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 4:11 pm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143585340556 ...

Bought one of these in brown.... it was WAY more than that when i bought it and an absolute BARGAIN at that price... i'm actually tempted to buy in olive just because it's cool and i love the jacket

Re: Casual Motorcycle Jackets
On a somewhat related note, I'm looking for a 60s-70s style leather jacket, one with a diagonal zip that stops at the shoulder rather than at the throat.
I'm hopefully going to be trying out an RST Matlock next week (Infinity have to order them in rather then having any in stock)
But does anyone know of any good alternatives?
I am NOT looking for a "Brando" style "cop" jacket. I'm going to ride the bike in it, not cruise the Blue Oyster Bar...

Re: Casual Motorcycle Jackets
It's all about the trousers. Get the right trouser and the jacket fades into the background.

Re: Casual Motorcycle Jackets
If it’s cold or looks like rain I wear an RST adventure jacket I’ve had years. If summer and weather looks good I wear an armoured hoodie like this

Re: Casual Motorcycle Jackets
Good selection here and good prices, can't comment on the quality though !

Re: Casual Motorcycle Jackets
I got one of these Halvarssons Thunder Classics years ago which I still use. Can take proper armour too, though ends up looking quite bulky.
Appears to be discontinued now, so you can't buy one anyway. May as well ignore this.

Re: Casual Motorcycle Jackets
Photos don’t do this jacket justice. But I have seen this Scott Leathers Easy Rider jacket in the leather, and it’s a stunning.
Incidentally, I can see why you need to be in-the-know to buy Scott Leathers: the product names are rubbish, the website is shit, and their photographer has an unmatched talent for making stunning leathers look crap online.

Re: Casual Motorcycle Jackets
Their PR is a disaster... phones unanswered, email ignored. I tried to get some of their kit for the big trip to NZ in 2019. I gave up.Hot_Air wrote: ↑Sun May 16, 2021 6:31 pm Photos don’t do this jacket justice. But I have seen this Scott Leathers Easy Rider jacket in the leather, and it’s a stunning.

Re: Casual Motorcycle Jackets
@The Spin Doctor It's a shame their PR is hopeless because their leathers are amazing.
Instead of this newfangled email you expect them to answer, you should have nipped up to Barnard Castle to see them. I hear the trip is also an excellent test of one’s eyesight

Re: Casual Motorcycle Jackets
I tried to but a set of leathers from Scott 20 years ago, I gave up as they were rude and disinterested.
