Motorcycle Forum / General / Yamaha / September 2004My leathers got here
I posted a while back that I'd ordered some leathers, jacket and chaps, from JaminLeather, out of scraps instead of whole pieces. The chaps were about $30 and the Jacket $50. Someone remarked that he expected the jacket wouldn't have the wind flap, etc. Well, first they're as heavy as any I've seen. The jacket has a zip in liner, a good 3 inch wind flap behind the zipper and the double breasted flap across the upper chest/throat. It has zippered wrist and a belt. The only thing is the zipper is a bit reluctant. I hope that with time some of the sharp edges will wear and it'll get easier to zip. All in all, I'm pleased. Rode up to Crested Butte this morning and the leathers felt damned good. cheers bob A little Bee's Wax on that zipper should take care of that. > I posted a while back that I'd ordered some leathers, jacket and chaps, from > JaminLeather, out of scraps instead of whole pieces.

I'll try the wax.

It was hard to see on their website if there were windflaps (maybe the photographer had them folded under for looks?). You can't beat that price, and they sound fine for the job. Hopefully, they'll never have to go to work :-) That was Jammin' Leathers, right? > > I posted a while back that I'd ordered some leathers, jacket and chaps, from > > JaminLeather, out of scraps instead of whole pieces.

JaminLeather.com, Given their catalog, which they sent with the leathers, I think they sell leathers to a lot of people who aren't bikers....grin My lady friend, seeing me accoutered with do-rag, and chaps started giggling. Then said, "Bikers wear hair nets and crotchless panties." Damned female!~!! Oh well......... cheers bob > > I posted a while back that I'd ordered some leathers, jacket and chaps, from > > JaminLeather, out of scraps instead of whole pieces.

From their catalog, I suspect they sell a lot of leathers to non bikers. In fact, that's the first question they asked me..."Do you ride a motorcycle". hmmmmm bob |
