Leather jackets are the epitome of biker wear. They look tough. They protect you from the wind and weather. They last a heck of a long time, and they look even better after years of wear.
So where do you find that perfect leather jacket to wear on long rides? Leather jackets can be found at any number of retailers in person, including big chain stores. Also, many of the major motorcycle brands, such as Harley-Davidson, make their own versions of leather jackets. The bonus of finding a jacket at a place like Harley-Davidson is you can show your support for your favorite type of motorcycle!
Of course, you can also get them new from a variety of online biker shops. The benefit of shopping online is that you can often find products cheaper than you can in person, and at the very least, it's easier to shop around. However, you may want that worn leather jacket look right up front. In that case, there are a number of places you can get previously owned jackets that have been worn-in in all the right places.
Thrift stores are a great option for finding economically priced leather jackets. At many places, they can be as cheap as $10-$15 for a nice jacket. Online retailers also offer a variety of options for previously owned jackets. Ebay is a great option for finding older clothing at a great price. Another option that many people don't consider is Etsy, which offers quite a bit of vintage clothing. And don't forget to pick up some skull patches to really customize your jacket!
With a bit of searching, you can find the jacket that is perfect for you and your ride. It's hard to go wrong with the variety of choices out there.
