Need opinion from the gals

[Mariner Fan]

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.

Hey Bob, check out http://www.leatherup.com

 

We have purchased from them, great products, great prices, no hassle returns if you don't like what you get.

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

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!

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?

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.

I agree with Yama Mama as we generally buy our leathers from them...

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.

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.

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.

Check out moto-direct.com they have great quality and great prices !!!

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"

Hey, Lonna - with the great description you posted, doesn't the only "VR RULE" apply - pictures needed? :rotf:

 

Have a good one.

Ya know Victor, I can't seem to get the camera far enough away to take the pics.LOL My arms arn't long enough:rotf:

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.

[Orrin]

Bob, I have looking at this for myself. They should have it in her size.

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.

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.
