CB1100 Monthly Photo Challenge

[Whoops]

Heres my first entrant into the monthly photo contest!

I got this from my best friend and life long riding buddy (we grew up riding ATVs together as kids. Every day after school we would ride around my farm, me on a Kawasaki Bayou 220 and him on a Polaris 2-stroke, now we both have big polaris sportsmen but we don't ride nearly as much as we used to, we upgraded to bikes lol)

The jacket fits me perfectly, vintage would be 70s I think? I wear it in the colder weather since it really blocks the wind and has an inner liner that makes it even warmer. It was a great gift from his dad as it wouldn't fit him or my best friend anymore.

I know this jacket! I had this exact one. The vintage is actually late 80's if you are curious. It was made by Wilson's Leather which was formerly Berman's prior to 1986. I think I paid about $250-$300 for it back in 1988 as a junior in high school. I have no idea if that was a style that ran for multiple years or not though.

They had stores in the malls all across the US. They actually turned out pretty high quality leather goods well into the late 90's. They are still around online, but the last leather jacket I bought from them in 2010'ish was not the same as their jackets in the 80's and 90's. The lining was cheap, poor stitching, low grade leather, etc. After two exchanges due to defects, I just returned it for my money back. I wish I was the same size as I was in high school. I would still have that jacket if so.
