Harley-Davidson Worn to be Wild
With Christmas on the horizon, you might be thinking of a gift that will will give you (remember Santa Gifts are allowed) or your loved ones that classic traditional biker look. It has been over a century since Harley Davidson made the first protective riding gear in 1912.
We borrowed the title for our blog from a 2012 exhibit at the Harley Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A trip through their virtual tour will show that the Harley Davidson brand was on Motorclothes from the early days. A Photo from 1914 Dodge City 300 mile race in Kansas shows jackets with the lettering very similar to the style of our Harley Davidson Leather Jacket item 66.
The five prints in item 70 trace the first 100 years since William Harley and Arthur Davidson developed the first engine designed to fit on a bicycle. Later improvements led to its own creation and the Harley Davidson Motorcycle was born. A great idea to go faster and as they say the rest is history.
Daring. Bold. Genuine Motorclothes and accessories can celebrate the rebel in all of us. Rooted in Harley Davidson classic heritage, these items express a biking spirit with both functional riding gear and commemorative gifts that are sure to please.
The Harley Davidson motorcycle jackets and vests acquired their symbolic identity over the last half of the 20th century. It evolved from earlier leather garments developed to protect their wearers from danger. Adopted by rugged individualists who shared the love of an open road, Motorclothes have become crucial accessory of the fashion conscious or simply a way of showing your love for a classic motorcycle ride.
Happy Bidding!
