Been wearing an American made leather jacket for the last 30ys. Wanted to buy a new jacket, in the Marlon Brando style, like the Bates Highwayman. US1leathers.com is still in business (moved a couple miles down the road). Just received their steerhide 370, and couldn't be happier.925777_33d68771ed2b41f293d6c16079e7e619.thumb.jpg.ff97f1ea5e8e2c467b1257598986a1d2.jpg20240824_101413.thumb.jpg.0a4f0485a2a4c0e0734a39f3fef060e3.jpg

Looked @ the Schott Perfecto, the Bates Higwayman, & the Foxcreek standard, but elected to go with the folks that have kept me safe for three decades. Saddle bags loaded, & backpack strapped to the sissy bar. Bexar County, Texas bound.

Your name is right there among the "likes".  We truly are a clan of idiots.

370 seems more of a riding jacket for the Coriolis effect, zipper location helps to keep you warm

A jacket is just that, nothing more. It isn't an armored shield, or a guarantee against pain. My 368 has seen a lot of chill, & endless rain, and it survived & still can be worn to the tavern as a dress rag. I wanted a Highwayman when I was younger, & still do, so I bought one. Is it a better road jacket? No, it serves the same purpose, and really isn't any better than my old Scooter coat. Paired w/my set of leather pants, I'm willing to ride for a thousand+ miles & hopefully enjoy the journey. Pride of ownership goes a long way. My post was simply to endorse a company that doesn't suck ass to Hollywood, and provide a quality product that real people can enjoy.

That being said, cool goes a long way to deciding on letting loose of money.

and Michael Keaton. Don't know what he wore, but it looked sharp in Jackie Brown.
