Sorry Mr moderator not sure where to put this.
Anyone own or know where to find a nice 3/4 length Leather moto jacket? I use to see them more often but can't find any these days.

Are there any motorcycle leather shops in your area?

Check Leatherup.com or maybe hotleathers.com Most leather coats usually run small so you may need to order 1 or 2 sizes bigger than normal. I usually wear an XL sometimes a 2XL and I tried on a coat at Hot Leathers in Sturgis and even a 3XL was to small and sleeves were to short.

That's the lowest price I've seen for leather in a while. They don't specify cowhide so I'm wondering if its goat from Pakistan. Anyone know?

Isn't 3/4 length a little long for a motorcycle jacket?

Good time to buy Leather Jackets since its summer. You may want to check USED LEATHER JACKETS (google). you can always have them cleaned.

Not at all. I remember Heine Gerrecke made one. I think it was called the Dakar jacket. This was a long time ago.

I got my leathers at ebikerleather.com. Good prices. Decent quality. They *are* from Pakistan, I don't know if it's goatskin or cowhide -- don't much care either. The coat is a Pistol-Pete and comes with a cold weather liner that really works.

Uhh No. They are very useful and versitile jackets to have especially when they are made for motorcycling.

That company in the link I posted makes custom jackets that are 3/4 length. thing is, Heine Gereke hasn't made that jacket in many years. It would be used if you could find one.Dakar Jacket (http://www.google.com/search?q=hein+gericke+dakar&hl=en&biw=1653&bih=751&prmd=ivnso&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=nCZNTvrcOvKDsAKMutGCBw&ved=0CE0QsAQ)

It looks like it should have SS (Shutzstaffel) lightning bolts on the collar. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

My idea of a 3/4 coat/jacket comes middlin thigh to the knee. That would mean seated you sit on the jacket.

What i see in most images is jackets lower than the waist, but no so low you sit on it. My jacket is that long, but i sure can't sit on it, unless I take off first.

Yah. Well I did buy a Vaquero so i guess that would be appropriate. Or I guess we could wear burkas since we ride Nomads.
