Ok, I’m in. Here’s my first motorcycle jacket. I still fit into it (barely). Needs new cuffs and waistband as the elastic has given way and I’m close to getting that done. It’s my father’s Navy G1 from when he flew out of NAS Lemoore, Alameda, and Whidbey Island.
Since it didn’t fit anymore, he handed it down to me around my graduation from college in 2002. In addition to being with him in the A7 Corsair, A4 Skyhawk, and F18 Hornet;
it’s been with me on a CB650, CB350f, XJ1100, and now a CB1100EX (kinda like a fighter jet, amiright, lol).
When the collar is up, it’s perfectly warm and fits right up to the bottom of my helmet. Great for when riding in PNW fall and spring weather. It has great patina and lots of sentimental value. I am proud to wear it.
