nice jacket. how does it fit you?

is that you in the pictures?

03slime250 · May 18th, 2010, 09:48 PM

uh, i guess it fits fine, yeah thats me, lol

kkim · May 18th, 2010, 09:52 PM

I don't see what makes it a womens jacket. If it fits you and you're happy with it, use it. Much better than not having something to protect you.

I know woman's clothing have the buttons on the opposite side from mens shirts. Does that apply to zippers too?

03slime250 · May 18th, 2010, 09:57 PM

yeah, the zippers are on the opposite side, are these jackets usually short? it comes down to the top of my pants while standing up

ztrack157 · May 18th, 2010, 10:13 PM

its fine if it were pink you'd have an issue

vollrathdude · May 19th, 2010, 05:03 AM

yeah sport bike jackets are usually a bit shorter, its just the style

Why is this? Do they know something we don't?

And sexy jacket OP

Seriously, though...as long as there aren't pre-molded boobs out front and a giant hello-kitty graphic on the back...I think you're good to go. Cut off that label, though.

rceezy · May 19th, 2010, 08:25 AM

Your man card is safe this time. :0)

tjkamper · May 19th, 2010, 08:33 AM

If you're built like a chick then your okay!!!

But for reals, I see no problem. No one will know the difference but you.

I have a zip-up hooded sweatshirt that I love, After buying it I realized it was actually a womans model. The only problem is that the zipper is on the wrong damn side.

When I first got the sweatshirt they put my MAN CARD on probation for a few weeks, but It's good now abd I've been fully reinstated.

03slime250 · May 19th, 2010, 09:11 AM

awesome guys, thanks for the comments

Cab305 · May 19th, 2010, 10:55 AM

Don't they have extra boobage room up front?

JeffM · May 19th, 2010, 11:54 AM

Intact

03slime250 · May 19th, 2010, 12:02 PM

God they thought of everything didn't they! I love it!

And my man-card is the size of a brick.....just sayin....

BlueRaven · May 19th, 2010, 03:34 PM

Nice jacket. I would keep it just in case you decide to get another one you can always keep this jacket if a lady friend needs/wants a ride. You don't have to tell her that it's a woman's jacket.

rockNroll · May 20th, 2010, 06:33 AM

I require a photograph of you wearing said jacket before I can give the correct advise. If it makes it look like you're developing boobs, well......

Back in the day when sophisticated women got dressed, they had servants to assist with the task. Most fasteners were buttons, hooks, and lacing. To make things easier for the servants, the buttons and hooks on women's clothing was moved to the other side so that a right handed servant could easily close the fastener. Today, it's just an anachronism based on aesthetic appeal.

On topic: If the jacket fits you correctly, and you like the look and style, that's all that [U]truly[U] matters here. Girl gear is usually cut with a little more flare at the hips, and a little more room at the bust line. Really curvy girl gear is obvious in it's styling and cut, as it leaves no room for doubt!

PitBull · May 20th, 2010, 06:45 AM

I see you are in NWA. They are having Bikes, Babes & Bling in Fayetteville over the 4th of July. Just be careful if you go check that out. Might be an awkward moment if you run into a hot biker chick wearing the same jacket!

Personally if I were you I would keep it if it fits you good. The jacket doesn't look feminine at all.

addy126 · May 22nd, 2010, 01:55 PM

If u ride thru east Texas... don't let anybody know its a woman's jacket... they'll lay a beatin on you!

Snake · May 22nd, 2010, 01:59 PM

Wow, East Texas sounds like a rough place for a stranger to ride through. The next time I ride out there I will have to get you two to back me up. (PitBull & addy126)

And if you looked good in them, then we'd have to talk.

03slime250 · May 22nd, 2010, 02:24 PM

well, the people that have seen it said its a cool jacket, didnt tell em it was women's so i think its safe to say im good

HKr1 · May 22nd, 2010, 02:27 PM

Thats one sexy jacket!

Ya might have to post a pic for the ladies so they can give you there opinion on how it looks on ya.

03slime250 · May 22nd, 2010, 05:41 PM

Banzai · May 22nd, 2010, 07:21 PM

You are without a doubt the bravest man here for posting a full pic! Man card returned!

Jacket looks fine. Go ride and worry about more important things in life.

03slime250 · May 22nd, 2010, 08:32 PM

lol, i was hesitant...i tend to look dorky in some pics

Snake · May 23rd, 2010, 05:19 AM

Nothing wrong with that jacket. Wear it with pride.

CC Cowboy · May 23rd, 2010, 07:27 AM

You'll grow into it.

FerociousNINJA · May 23rd, 2010, 08:27 AM

Looks good on you! I think I know where you got confused... There was no fine print stating the jacket does not include the hawt brunette modeling it.

Go with the one you have, you'll wear it out in no time then move on to another
