ok maybe this is a silly question... but when is it PC to wear your Jacket?
only when you ride? or whenever you want?
i know of course you can do what you want, but is there some unwritten rule that people dont wear their jackets unless they are out for a ride??
IMO, only when you are riding. I hate walking around with my jacket when I am not on my bike...screams "look at me, i ride a motorcycle." I'd rather have my Termi's scream it instead. ;D

yeah, thats kind of what i was thinking.
anyone else????
Iono, I always wore mine around. Yeah, it attracts a lotta attention but I do it more because I don't trust leaving it on the bike and don't wanna carry it. I do what's comfortable. On hot days I take the wrist snaps and snap them together and wear my jacket like a cape. [roll]
i think its bc really that true moto jackets are well too over the top with all the armor in them and such that thye look a little too mad max or power ranger that its goofy unless its a costume party.
unless its a very very casual looking jacket with hidden armor in it, then you usulally can't wear it too much off the bike. although motorcycle jackets for fashion have been in and out of style constantly but those jackets the stylish ones have no armor and are not for riding really.
but if you only have 1 leather jacket and you like wearing it, then wear it. heck you spent all that money on it if its nice then wear it who cares what anyone thinks.
i thought you ment it as, can you go ou with your jacket if your not gonna ride youre bike. the answer is, POSER.
otherwise,if you are riding, why wouldnt you wear it? i woudnt leave it on the bike.
I have the Ducati Historical jacket. Don't mind representing the Company that makes excellent works of art and machinery. IMO
I've got the Dainese 80's jacket and I might wear it if it didn't have elbow, shoulder and back protector in it. But never my Joe Rocket mesh.
mine is a basic black low key jacket... it really just looks like a black & gray leather jacket. I wear that when I go out on the town, etc and then just wear it as my jacket too. It is a looser cut than my other alpine stars jacket which I only wear when on rides.
Rereading my post I realize I was not that clear.
I only wear my jacket if I ride. but if I go out and ride my bike there, I will wear it as my jacket. I also have a jacket that I wear for rides when I'm not doing anything else, but riding (it is a tighter fit and definitely flashier)
IMHO, the only people who wear their gear when not riding are squids who bought their bike to park in a wal-mart parking lot and lean on. Usually these are either teens or guys in their early twenties who couldn't take a curve if their life depended on it.

you're right, that is what i meant...
I have alot of leather motorcycle Jackets . Most are Dainese and if I'm going to the grocery I don't have a problem wearing one w, jeans if I feel like wearing it.
Ducati ones included. Dolph
Would you wear a full 1 piece suit with a speed hump, race gloves and boots to go to ride to the corner store? its basically the same thing. Why wear a race suit if you dont intend to go riding hard, or tracking it? Why wear a armored jacket if your gonna just walk someone where?
Theres a thread in NMC "dumbest questions ever asked" or something to that effect, when someone goes up to you and asks "nice jacket, so did you ride here?" what are you suppose to say? its not a dumb question anymore at that point.
we're talking moto specific jackets with padding and armor right? not harley leathers with nothing but leather....

yeah, maybe this should be more specific...
would you wear a non padded/armor moto jacket out if you arent going to ride?
would you wear a padded/armored moto jacket out if you arent going to ride?
If I have somewhere to put it, sure I'll take it off but I'm not going to leave my jacket on my bike or carry it around awkwardly because I'm afraid somebody will think I look like a poser.
To answer the original question as directly as possible:
When I ride to wherever I'm going, I have no prob walking around in my moto jacket. Especially if it's cold. It's not like a brought an extra winter jacket or fashion jacket with me to change into. [roll] It ain't poseurish to wear your jacket if the motorcycle is the mode of transportation you're using for that outing.
When I drive the cage (or walk, or ride a bicycle), I do not wear either of my moto jackets. That's total poseur, IMO.
However... there are always exceptions and counter-examples. Last week I had a rather haute woman ask me if I had ridden (I was wearing my vintage-look A* jacket, but my helmet was out of sight). When I said yeah, of course, I don't wear the moto jacket unless I'm riding, she replied that she asked because she would wear one all the time... had nothing to do with style, either... she loves the feel a heavy moto jacket has, makes her comfortable (keep in mind, it was a cold fall night when she said this).

I think there is a gender issue with this question... a woman can get away with wearing things a guy could not in the same context. G could absolutely wear an armored riding jacket to a bar if we drove in the truck. I'd never dream of it.
What if you took the Armor out of it for the night and it didn't have a bunch of writing and just a couple of small Logos on it ? Dolph

woudlnt that just make it a regular jacket then? lol.
I think that chick who said she would wear one all the time was refering to harley type jackets. leather with no armor. kinda like Jet Pilot jackets. Those vintage looking A* jackets arent really that bulky and full of padding AFAIK. She might of not seen the armor. my JR jacket makes me look like a linebacker with freakishly large elbows.

The topic on hand is, would you wear one when you leave your bike at home.
In the window of a Puma store in Beverly Hills, they have manequins dressed up in "motorcycle-style" jackets wearing Ducati clothes and Puma shoes. They even sell the Ducati clothes in the store. They are trying to make the motorcycle jacket fashionable. Go figure.
I wear my motorcycle jacket everyday that it's cold enough to need a jacket. It's my favorite jacket. It's water proof, wind proof, and I've done it for 3 years now. It looks like a normal black jacket. You would never guess that is has armor in it either. I don't wear my leather jacket unless I'm out on the bike though. If your wearing a bike jacket as a fashion statement, meh...then yes, you might be posing. Even then, to each his own.
I'd pimp one of my low key jacket WITHOUT the armor. If it looks and feels well with what activity I'm doing and the weather calls for it I could care less what other people think. 8)

i want this jacket. It loosk like a normal jacket with the armor, without the armor, its just a wikid looking jacket.
Mostly because i cant afford a winter jacket. (ive never had a winter jacket before in my whole life, even if its -10 outside, its undershirt, main shirt, sweather, windproof jacket + suck it up) Plus i want to try skiing this year and i could triple it as a skii jacket!!!
I find my ducati jacket to be a little uncomfortable when my arms are straight, but perfect when they're bent. my rev'it mesh jacket feels good all the time, but is so light weight I'd have to be high to want to wear it for warmth.

My roommate used to wear a jacket that looked almost exactly like that except that it was corduroy.
I've played hockey in my Technik jacket before, so no; I'm not going to drive the stock 95 Ford Probe to Red Lobster on a tuesday night with my crash jacket on. It's for riding only and it shows. Now the Brooks Leather jacket I've been drooling over forever.........

I agree, I love my Spidi on my bike, but it's fit isn't made to stand straight up with your arm's by my side.
To answer the question, I only wear my riding jacket when I ride. I will wear it in and out of where I am going (but I also carry my helmet). Where ever I feel comfortable enough to park my helmet is where I park my jacket.
I work with a guy that will go as far as wearing his HD jacket and chaps to work when he drives his truck. One could only assume he has some size issues!
All I have is my bike as transportation so I wear my jacket... well all the time when I am out and about.
I rarely lock it to my bike but I do have a nice Rhino Lock so I have done that before.
I do feel strange about it at times though.
I can't believe there are two pages on this topic. Wear whatever you want whenever you want. If your jacket is comfy (mine isn't) for casual wear, wear it all the time. And if someone gives you shit for it, screw their sister. While wearing your jacket. ;)

sans-armor it is a jacket, maybe a tasteless flashy one, but a jacket.
with armor it is gear. if you ride, you get to wear gear. otherwise poser.

I walk around in my riding jacket. Got a problem with it? I've walked to work in it (in the rain). It was perfect. Stayed warm and dry. I've walked around the mall in it. I've worn it on liberty when raining and I didn't bring a jacket for the underway. I really like it. It's really comfortable, has lots of pockets, keeps me warm and dry. Why wouldn't I? I even ordered the matching pants and suspenders.

i saw a guy wear a vanson on the train today with full armor. He had his inner shirt collar popped, smelled like he bath in cologne, had sunglasses and gel'd hair and walked like he had to spread his legs to keep his pants up.
That jacket on aerostitch looks like a regular jacket though. Its not like someone riding the train with a 1 piece suit.

See, in that situation, what else
would he wear? He was rocking the official douchebag uniform w/smellivision. At least he's cool with his level of douchebaggery that you don't even have to guess if he is, or is not a total loser. Maybe he has to keep the armor in the jacket for when someone even more douchy wants to kick his ass.
This is when everyone needs to keep a point & shoot camera handy. Or at least keep that camera phone armed and ready. I'm alway on mullet patrol, waiting for the perfect specimen. Got a lady with a SWEET rocker mullet the other day. She even had the highly faded, almost white denim jacket with jeans on. It was amazing. But if she had a vanson with armor...priceless.
Just kidding with all of this, of course. But not about the mullet patrol. It's a hobby of mine. Sorry if I am offending anyone.

Cold in that basement/garage/unfinished room?
I was walking around downtown SF today with mine on (also hauling around the helmet & boots :P).
Anyway, someone was not watching carefully where they were walking, and carelessly brushed by me.
I then heard a loud "Ow" and turned around...he was obviously quite startled by running into my armor. [cheeky]
I'm not sure if Grant Imahara from Mythbusters rides, but he seems fond of Vanson gear. I'm guessing he doesn't ride though.

IMO, the only time i keep my jacket on is if I have my helmet in my hand. If I can set my helmet down, I can set my jacket down. I hate carrying it around in my hands so ill just wear it as long as i dont have a safe place to set it down.

Not sure if he rides but he does have a few pretty sweet cages. In a few eps you can see his Nissan 300ZX and Mazda RX-7. I'm sure he's a fan of speed and wouldn't doubt it if he likes 2 wheels.

The Dainese jackets are better looking in person, You can't see the quality of the leather and detail in a picture.
I was torn between this jacket http://www.dainese.com/eng/articolo.asp?cat=1,2,3,7&nome=LUCKY&articolo=1533570 (http://www.dainese.com/eng/articolo.asp?cat=1,2,3,7&nome=LUCKY&articolo=1533570) in the cream and black color, (the leather is slightly vintage looking and is much cheaper than the vintage model) and the newsan jacket that I eventually bought. Definately good looking and safe enough to wear for a ride, than wear out in style.
At the web site click on zoom and than drop down and select to view the different color choices.
I wear my delmar jacket everytime i ride my bike but also i like to walk around with it and my consern is people be lookin at me all the time and ask if i ride motorcycle???so i figured maybe my delmar jacket is so aggressive lookin for em.So i went to d-store to look for another jacket which is not so aggressive lookin and i can wear it all the time even wearin around somewhere so i found this vintage jacket same size as my delmar but the problem is the sleeves are 2" long compair to my delmar its uncomfy.
Heres my question...Should i return it and get the lucky jacket or keep it and use it.??
any comment ???
I'd buy/keep the jacket that you like the look of, that fits you the best on the bike. Not the one you think other people won't be bothered by.

I personaly think the lucky jacket in the cream, black combo looks bad-ass, and classic, and will be my next jacket.
The D-store has an excellent return policy,I say return it if your not happy.
I tried on the lucky jacket in size 56, (what I wear in the newsan jacket.) The lucky fit larger also, but actually it's because the newsan, like the delmar, is a tighter, sportier fitting jacket than the vintage. Try a smaller size.
After removing the liner from the lucky jacket,(The salesman and I decided this was probably how I would be wearing the jacket, in the hot Cali. summers) I fit nicely into a size 54.
Thanks a lot you all being very helpful.Im going to return my vintage jacket ASAP and get something else..maybe the lucky jacket... [thumbsup]

I picked up a 3' bicycle cable lock. It coils up to fit in my jacket pocket and is long enough to go up the sleeve of the jacket to lock it and my helmet to the grab bar on the bike.
I know a few ladies who drool when they see someone wearing motorcycle gear. Kinda like a fireman or any dude in uniform effect. But I can't really tell if they're looking at me because of my gear or because I jump back onto my scooter. Bottom line, I have no pride so who cares!
So i went to D-store yesterday to exchange my vintage jacket and get the lucky jacket which is fits like the way i want it snug and tight...and it has the vintage lookin style.
Deff.would wear it all the time... [moto]
Quote from: Ivan Vukchevic on January 28, 2009, 01:59:08 AM
Here I come again with a thread jack.
If I remember correctly Lucky jacket is inferior to the Delmar. Protection and fit&finish wise.. It also lacks the zipper that connects to the pants.
I was considering it when I was buying a jacket but choose this one insted;
(http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/8358/snapshot20081124235041gu0.th.jpg) (http://img292.imageshack.us/my.php?image=snapshot20081124235041gu0.jpg)
Don't know the model name but it is similar to current Arizona.
And to answer on original question:
I do sometimes wear moto-jacket in public (without protectors). It is comfortable and I feel good in it. Ladies love it; don't really care what others think. Although, I do sometimes feel like a poser because I don't have a bike at the moment. ;D
The Lucky jacket is not a racing jacket but a more casual one while still being still safe. It has the same fit and finish,jacket to pant zipper as the delmar. kind of what w7ck7ds was looking for.

Sure you're right danaid.more casual jacket while still being safe.

Along the same lines, I am looking for a new "classic" jacket. No big logos or graphics. Solid black, removable armor (because I do plan on using it as a regular jacket too). Mandarin or folding collar. No big frills or such. I'm liking a lot of the basic Vansons as they've got a few simple designs. Any other thoughts?

That's exactly what I was looking for too, and I think I found it. Alpinestars Stage. It is perforated, but comes with a liner.

Still looks a bit "racer." I'm looking for something a bit more classic...
I own that AStars jacket...it is a great jacket but it is motorcycle jacket. I wouldn't wear it if I wasn't riding....especially with the super stiff back-protector I have in it.
my 2 cents.
