Okay,
This was completely off the cuff. I was just about to suit up for a ride across Los Angeles and deciding what to wear. Recently, a brother gave me this vintage H-D jacket and it fit like a glove, so I thought I would give it a shot. It was sorta against the code of the West, since I’m into my 5-Ball leather line and should promote my shit, but I thought, “What the Hell.”
I laid the H-D piece that probably cost about $500 on my bed and started to stack up shit I needed to take, like my phone, gate clickers, Indian keyless ignition switch and keys, bracelets from the Buddhist temple (for gifts), guns, knives and well you know, the shit.
Suddenly the H-D jacked wouldn’t work. It only had one breast zipper pocket and one shallow interior pocket. It had two zipper, slip-your-hands-in pockets, but I usually don’t put anything in them. I don’t like zippers on pockets that I slip my sensitive hands into–not comfortable.
I was forced to abandon the H-D unit and grab my 5/8 brown Jak shirt with two breast snap pockets for business cards and the gate clicker, two deep interior gun pockets for cell phones, cameras, gifts, and my Indian keys. Then it also has our exclusive media pocket (in the back), incase I needed to carry a magazine or legal documents.
I was pleased with the move. I should only wear 5-Ball Racing Leathers anyway, but it made my day that our jacket stood tall against the big guys.
