Harley-Davidson Full Force Coat
Ever since Brando blasted on the screen as the Wild One, black leather has been associated with motorcycling and its rebellious nature. Motorcyclists, in turn, have adopted the black leather jacket as an essential part of their uniform. All manufacturers offer some sort of riding apparel to go along with their bikes. With all of this embedded tradition, it seems only natural that Harley-Davidson, by far having the most tradition and mystique of any manufacturer, would offer this essential uniform piece for its devotees and other riders.
Unlike many manufacturers, who simply take an existing product and splash different graphics or logos on and hide it in the back of a dealership, Harley-Davidson long-ago realized the significance of apparel to those dedicated to the marque. They've delineated an entire arm of the company specifically to design, manufacture and marketing of its own line of apparel - Harley-Davidson MotorClothes.
No, not all items are emblazoned with giant Screaming Eagles or Bar and Shield logos. Many of the items produced are designed to appeal to the more subtle fans of the black and orange, and feature very sublimated H-D logos, or most commonly, an embossed logo in black leather.
The combination of four outside pockets provide handy storage for just about anything you might carry and have a need to access during a ride, from a disc-lock to parking money. An additional inside wallet pocket provides another secure area to store any valuables you may carry.
The Harley-Davidson Full Force Coat is a rugged, well-rounded general use jacket. Equally comfortable to ride with in winter and summer, a garment rarely has flexibility and style like this jacket. At a suggested retail price of $450, it's not only well worth the hard-earned cash, but for a premium quality leather jacket, a competitive buy as well.
