Motorcycle Jacket For Men

You can buy motorcycle jackets almost anywhere. At motorcycle rallies, you will find them by the millions. Some of them aren't too bad, but most of them are. They are made of really thin to medium leather and sometimes feel like plastic. I think they are made in China, Japan, or someplace like that. Fox Creek jackets are made in the USA, and I THINK they use several vendors to make them to their specifications. Regardless, they have a lifetime warranty. A person will buy one of these lesser jackets because he doesn't have much money or doesn't want to put that much into a jacket. But once you decide what your style of bike is, who you are, and if you are really going to stay in this sport and lifestyle, then you will eventually upgrade to a quality jacket that can be used for any and every occasion. The helmet and the jacket are two of the three basic safety items, feet protection being the third. If you will feel or pick up a Fox Creek jacket and can make a comparison with your average jacket that motorcycle stores sell, you will know immediately that you are dealing with two different categories of leather jackets. They are thick, heavy, and buttery soft, which is the character of naked leather. It is almost "there is Fox Creek, and then there is everybody else."

But I do want to say something about the Commander style jacket. It is their most expensive and quite a popular jacket, Fox Creek tells me. Their least expensive is their Vented Racing jacket. I think that is their most popular jacket because of the price. Any Fox Creek motorcycle jacket is expensive, but the Vented Racing style jacket is the least expensive. I had a jacket like that previously, and I just wanted something different. The Commander caught my fancy for several reasons. One, it didn't look completely like the classic motorcycle jacket with the epaulets, belt, and all the metal snap buttons. Yet it had some of those touches. I also liked the collar - without the visible snap buttons - that could be folded up when it got colder. Then there was the option of being able to insert armor if I chose to do so. I have not done that yet and may never. That is not important. What IS important is that I have that flexibility, and it would probably be a very good idea. It is there if I want it. Two other Fox Creek jacket have this feature too, but it will likely not be in any of the traditional style black leather jackets that anyone else sells. This gave me the alternative that sport bikers have with their textile jackets. But I WANT a leather jacket, and this is an especially nice option you wont find on 99% of them.

Another reason I wanted this style of jacket was because of the zippered overlap in the front. It does a much better job of keeping out the cold air than a jacket where there there is no overlap underneath. That is not available, I don't think, in the Vented Racing jacket.

In the late 1940's Schott Bros introduced a new jacket based on the original Perfecto and Northeaster design called the 613. It was soon nicknamed the One Star because it had a star on each shoulder passant. A few years later the company introduced the 618 which was identical to the 613 except for the stars. This was the style that Marlon Brando wore in the movie The Wild One. The stars on the passants and the snaps on the collar of his jacket were not original, but added to the jacket. These jackets have a very snug, almost tailored fit, which is perfectly suited for motorcycle riding. They are also very short by today's standards.
