The classic motorcycle jacket looks great, but would you feel a fraud wearing one if you didn’t actually own a motorcycle.
I have a scooter, but I’m not sure that counts. You didn’t see Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator ride around with a shotgun in one hand riding a small scooter. Or Tom Cruise in Top Gun chasing a fighter plane down the runway on a pizza delivery scooter. No, the scooter doesn’t quite have the same street cred.
If you turned up to the pub wearing a well worn black leather jacket, the one with those really useful buckles at the sides, what’s your answer when someone asks “So, what bike you riding”. You can’t answer “well I don’t have one, but my electric bicycle has been deregulated”.
Well here we have the non fraudulent solution. Take off all the zips, buckles and anything dangling and also take off the sleeves. Change the black leather to brown suede, and bingo. Can be worn on the weekend or to the office, and of course, walking the dog, if you have one.
