A Buyer's Guide to Leather Jackets - More Than Skin Deep
River Road Vintage Hoodlum $200-$240
You can be vintage-cool with the Vintage Hoodlum. It's got old-school dirt-track styling with a finish that makes the dark-brown jacket look well worn but not worn out. While it's high on style, it also has many rider-friendly features. Pockets are plentiful with two zippered waist pockets, two chest pockets, one inside cell-phone pocket and another cell pocket inside the full zip-in liner. The zippered chest pockets are mesh-lined so they double as vents, and a single, zippered back vent is set between the shoulders. The front heavy-duty metal zipper lacks a storm flap, though the zippered sleeve ends are gusseted. The mandarin-type collar closes with a snap. The jacket feels nice while standing around, but once we sat on a bike it became apparent that the Hoodlum isn't entirely cut for a rider. When in a riding position, the chest of the jacket puffs out, the collar pushes against our chins and the sleeves are a little short, leaving our wrists exposed. The Vintage Hoodlum also lacks any armor or double-layer leather in the shoulder and elbow impact zones.
