Milwaukee Motorcycle Clothing Co. Crazy Horse Jacket $280
Forget about breaking in the MMCC Crazy Horse Jacket: They've done it for you. The full-grain cowhide gets a rich brown finish that not only looks well worn but is exceptionally soft. There are two slash pockets at the waist and two zippered vents across the chest. The sides have accordion stretch panels and waist flaps that close with snaps. The Crazy Horse is gusseted behind the shoulders for ease of movement, and the sleeves close with gusseted zippers. Across the back there are two exhaust vents and a padded kidney/lumbar panel. Inside you'll find two additional pockets and an insulated removable vest with a cell-phone pocket. The front closes with an extra-heavy-duty metal zipper, and elastic straps inside the jacket's back help tailor fit. That's all good, but we found shortcomings, too: There's no armor or double leather in the shoulders or elbows, and in the riding position the front of the jacket puffs out and the collar rides up. However, the sleeves are the right length for riding, and oh, that soft leather. | RATINGS | | Comfort | 3 | | Protection | 1 | | Versatility | 2 | | Overall | 2 | Notes: A good-looking jacket that's great for around town.
