I've had bike jackets that are comfy enough to wear day to day. And I've had bike jackets that I couldn't straighten my arms in. You're going to have to try it on.

Bit of a co-incidence, yes. Been a lot of leather jacket spamming the last couple of days.

Since there was such a detailed description in the post, took the liberty of removing the hotlink.

You want to know what I think if you aren't riding a bike with an engine?

Don't buy it.

Why do you think so? Because it's a designated biker jacket? Because it's impractical? Not enough bang for buck? You're not really giving me much here.

It's expensive and impractical. Thumbs Up

Because it should be designed to hold itself together with someone in it while they slide down the road. Whether it has been or not, I can't tell.

Regardless, you would boil in summer and freeze in winter. It won't be as comfortable as most other jackets and it's expensive.

If you want a laugh you could ask on a cycling forum if a leather jacket is suitable for wearing when cycling. Wink

Alright, thx for the elaboration guys. I'll be on the look-out for a more casual jacket that's designed solely for looks and warmth, opposed to protection, as Mark_F rightfully pointed out. I appreciate the help.

-edit-
I just noticed I have bad karma now. ROFL
So much for intentionally being very polite and respectful Shocked


Please define polite and respectful with respect to spamming?

Anyway, why the fuck would you think that a bunch of dysfunctional British bikers care about a fashion parade for blokes jackets when said poseur doesn't even ride. Maybe Hellkat or some of the other ladies on here would like to comment, but don't hold your breath.
