Member Contributer SamW Posted November 18, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted November 18, 2016 Anyone know a good source for used leather jackets? I know New Enough used to have a good selection, but it is pretty slim, some on FEEbay. I am getting the itch for a vintage (80's/90's) good (Bates/Vanson/Hein/Alpinestar) leather jacket and was wondering if there was a good place to find them.

Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted November 18, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted November 18, 2016 The first place I was going to suggest was New Enough (A.K.A. motorcyclegear,com). Barring that maybe look into places like Goodwill or Salvation Army stores. I actually found some decent moto gear before, a one piece leather suit a few years back. Also, vintage clothing (A.K.A. Second hand clothing) stores. Again, I have found some decent gear at places like these too. Good luck on your search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Conedodger Posted November 18, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted November 18, 2016 What color and size are you looking for? I have a couple at home I've been considering selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepretender Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I heard a good tip on Goodwill or Salvation Army type stores, look in the Ski jacket section as they don't ride and don't know what to do with riding gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer SamW Posted November 18, 2016 Author Member Contributer Share Posted November 18, 2016 I never would have thought to look for leather at goodwill or salvation army, but I will give it a shot. I guess in towns near tracks or good roads would be best. Just looking for something other than straight black, black with a little red, red/white/blue, brown with a little red. US 44 or 46.

Member Contributer Conedodger Posted November 18, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted November 18, 2016 I'll check sizes when I get home. Both are red/white/black. One is Alpinestar, the other is First Gear. The First Gear looks like this one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Conedodger Posted November 18, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted November 18, 2016 I want to say the Alpinestar looks like this, but it has been awhile since I've looked at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeper Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Have you checked the vintage leather rack at that place in Johnson City? That sales lady really liked you. Might be a deal there.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer SamW Posted November 19, 2016 Author Member Contributer Share Posted November 19, 2016 How much do you want for the Alpinestar? It may be a little small on me. Just PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
