I think the same way as you, my friend. I don't like to kill all the innocent cows just so I can have some leather. But as a Harley rider, I absolutely need to have that logo on my clothes. So I just minimize the amount of leather I wear by buying only buttless chaps. Looks hot and saves a little cow.

Peace be with you brotha.

Probably the best place to find out is contact your H-D dealer or check out their website for apparel.

Mesh Jacket by HD.

Only posers have to wear HD branded clothes, That's why HD makes all there money off clothing and not there bikes.
That's why there Stock dropped by 40% in the stock market.

P.S. I own a Harley & know the business.

I have been riding Harleys close to 40 years. I refuse to wear anything with the HD logo on it. Real bikers kept that outfit alive through the 70's and now they look down on us because we don't fit their squeaky clean image. Plus the previous poster is right. All that "Motorclothes" crap is made in communist China.

There are some really great man made protective gear available to motorcycle riders. Check with some generic motorcycle accessories shops in your area.

If you are inclined to fly a H.D. logo(s), you can always find them at the H.D. dealers and or the generic M.C. shops.

A sugesstion: after you pick out your patches, have aprofessional sew them on for you, it's well worth the money spent.

You need to wear leather when you are on a Harley (the nylon "fag bags" are for the gay old guys that rid BMWs and Goldwings) so man up and buy the real stuff (it is not much use to the cow after the butcher gets the meat). Ride Loud and Proud…

Don't worry about wearing leather!!!

The next time you have a hamburger, or a nice steak, take the time to think about what happened to the rest of it.
Where's the skin?
Generally, when an animal is killed for food it's other parts are used as well.

If you are truly interested in "eco-friendly" then I suggest you also look at the manufacturing methods used in creating these items. A lot of the processes involved are not as friendly as you would have thought.
