Reincarnated Biker Jacket

[rickeyfro]

So I had this old biker jacket laying around, zipers all screwed up, all the pocket liners ripped out, seams all coming apart, etc etc etc. And since I had another in way better shape, I couldnt see investing the time to repair it. And not being able to throw anything leather out I figured Id tear it down and see if I could get inspired. The leather, heavy and soft, scratched and scuffed really begged to be used on a seat, something for a daily rider, then the inspred part came, looking at what was left of the jacket draped over a box, I couldnt help but notice how much the collar looked like the skirt on the last skirted solo I did. Anyway, waste not want not.

That's really cool Rick!!  Damn and it has a mud flap too! Recycling is the way to go. The leather looks like it would make for a comfortable seat.

Thats way cool man, excellent job. I think that as it wears it will look even cooler.

Great Idea. Gives me some thoughts on what to do with the jackets we own that have...ahem... shrunk over the years. Never have been able to throw the memories away.
