Mariner Fan Posted November 10, 2007 Share #1 Posted November 10, 2007 I want to buy a nice leather jacket for my wife. Can you point me in the right direction? I want to get her something to use when riding with me but still kinda fashionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan Terror Posted November 10, 2007 Share #3 Posted November 10, 2007 And here it thought you were gonna ask if you would look good in a pink thong! Kind of scary. I almost didnt open this thread!!! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yama Mama Posted November 11, 2007 Share #4 Posted November 11, 2007 DID SOMEBODY MENTION LEATHER; AND A THONG? SERIOUSLY, I BOUGHT MY LEATHER JACKET AT A WILSON LEATHER STORE. IT IS A REGULAR WOMAN'S MOTORCYCLE JACKET, AND I REALLY LIKE IT. I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE CALLING FASHIONABLE, THAT IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER. HOPE YOU FIND A NICE ONE!

mini-muffin Posted November 11, 2007 Share #5 Posted November 11, 2007 Ok Scottie we know you're just dying for a nice thong to wear under your kilt. What color is your kilt, don't want it to clash now. :rotf::rotf: You should get an idea what your wife is interested in fashion wise. There's lots of nice jackets out there. Did you want it for cold weather or just cool temps? Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariner Fan Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted November 11, 2007 Ha ha, fashion means something in black that can be used for both riding and casual wear. I know you can't pick out the coat but I'd like to know some good vender's for womens leather wear. Best to have a lot of choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted November 11, 2007 Share #7 Posted November 11, 2007 I agree with Yama Mama as we generally buy our leathers from them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midrsv Posted November 11, 2007 Share #8 Posted November 11, 2007 This probably doesn't meet your criteria since it's not leather and probably not too fashionable for casual wear, but my wife prefers her Olympia Airglide over her leather. It's more protective and can be worn year round. If I could find one to fit right I would have one also. http://www.olympiamotosports.com/ladiesairglide/ladiesairglide.htm And, if she can wear and extra small or extra large, this site has a great price on them. We paid well over $100 for my wife's. http://store.bobsbmw.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=2130 DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess M Posted November 11, 2007 Share #9 Posted November 11, 2007 I bought Dkknight some boots at Leatherup.com They have good customer service and we got some nice boots. Their prices aren't bad either. I think this one probably could be worn casually or on the motorcycle and it looks like it comes in black too. http://www.leatherup.com/p/Womens-Motorcycle-Jackets/Ladies-Waist-Length-Front-Zipper-White-Leather-Jacket/40957.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetnothing Posted November 11, 2007 Share #11 Posted November 11, 2007 I have bought all my leathers at www.mcleatherworks.com but their store is only about 25 miles from me. The whole Michigan/Ontario crew just about has been there. Does she know about this? It is hard to try on leathers for someone else. Does she get cold easy? buy it a little bit bigger for the clothes to fit under it. Get something with sleve closeings so the air don't go up them. And them nice little collars will beat her in the face if not fastened down. And a zip out liner for extra warmth when needed. I hope these ideas help you out! Mine has a nice braid trim to dress it up a little, and gathers in the back (also keeps the air out) and hidden zippers so it don't look like a "motorcycle jacket" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orrin Posted November 12, 2007 Share #14 Posted November 12, 2007 Bob, get herr something that will give her protection on the bike. With armour, vents, liner, and somewhat water resistant. She will love you for it and will wear for ever and ever. Scout IV comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orrin Posted November 12, 2007 Share #15 Posted November 12, 2007 Bob, I have looking at this for myself. They should have it in her size. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=270184435770&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Popeye Posted November 12, 2007 Share #17 Posted November 12, 2007 If you are looking for something 'fashionable', be very certain you are looking at Ladies Leathers. Getting her a Man's leather just wont look right. She won't be on the scoot a LOT of the time & women care how they look....for some reason. http://www.bikeweekleathers.com/viewimg.php?image=thumbnail&item_id=711 Women are made different & so are their jackets. Pink, white & fringe should be absolutely avoided, IMHO. I think my Pic Gallery has one of my wife in her ladie's chaps & jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
