Harley-Davidson is a company that speaks for itself. As one of only two major motorcycle manufacturers that survived the Great Depression, the machines that Harley-Davidson have produced have been immortalized as an American icon. The company was founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1903. Two friends, William S. Harley and Arthur Davidson, changed the world of motorcycles, and their legacy continues to do so even today.
Harley-Davidson may be known for custom motorcycles and accessories for their bikes, but they also produce some quality jackets, pants, and other riding gear as well. With both Men’s and Women’s lines, there is something for every Harley enthusiast.
Leather Jackets
Most likely best known for their use of leather suits and jackets during the beginning racing days, today only the finest top grain samples are used to create each article sold. With lightweight mesh leathers for the summer and warmer weathers to thick, heated jackets for winter riding, Harley-Davidson has a leather piece for all occasions. With popular models like the Men’s Classic Leather Jacket and the Women’s Comfort Cruiser Jacket, there’s a little something for everyone. Harley even has their own brand of leather polish and cleaner.
Textile Jackets
Just like with their leather goods, the textile jackets that Harley-Davidson produces are made with a clean, stylish design to fit the motorcycles. Most of their textile jackets are made out of heavy duty polyester mixes, are 100% waterproof and feature plenty of 3M Scotchlite Reflective Material to maximize visibility. The Men’s Illumination 360 Functional Jacket showcases some of the best styling and functionality in Harley’s jacket line.
Other Gear and Accessories
Harley-Davidson offers a wide range of accessories and gear that can accommodate most all riders, from their production of leather riding boots and chaps to saddlebags and belt buckles. Harley has their own riding vests and gloves, but also produce watches and key fobs with their logo, too — perfect for a gift for an avid rider.
Getting Out and Riding
Harley-Davidson builds the bikes and the gear to get you out and enjoy life through a different viewpoint. Whether you’re a die-hard Harley fan, or just someone who appreciates the history of a company that originated and succeeded during difficult times, it’s safe to say that Harley-Davidson will stick around for some time to come.
