    Happy to be back! I hope you guys enjoyed the video, I poured my heart into researching and editing it. If you ever want to support the channel, one of the best ways is to check out my store www.greatlakesupplyco.com! I'm now selling unisex riding gear and moto armor amongst my other fun odds and ends ☺

    This was awesome. I had no idea. As a child of the 80's I loved my leather jacket. Can not forget the Road Warrior and the Terminator. Both movies that had the jacket out in front. Thanks Meghan.

    Finally i know the origin history of biker jacket. Thanks man for the info. I always love the double rider jacket. It's such a unique and iconic design of all time. Its very popular in pop culture films like Mad Max and Terminator as well in Rock, Metal and Punk subculture movement

    Great video Meghan! Hats off to Schott, but I noticed that you had some clips from the Langlitz shop in Portland as well. Ross Langlitz deserves a lot of credit for some of the finest motorcycle leathers around. Full disclosure, I have a Langlitz. 😁😁😁 Keep up the great work!

    Wow! I have enjoyed your content ever since I learned about you from Amanda Zito. Honestly, this video rocks like a vintage chair on Tennessee mountain porch in a hot summer!
    Absolutely great content, editing, and information. Thank you so much for this. Will definitely be cross posting and encouraging others to watch. Add this to your great coffee, design work, and other things you offer, and what can I say but thanks again. I think an episode about more functional motorcycle-specific riding leathers would be very cool as well. I would love to own a Perfecto, but only if I could put back, shoulder, and elbow protection in it. I wonder who might offer protection I could use? Hint hint 🤔

    Today i bought a Marlon Brando leather jacket, gosh...i look even good. Me? Yes, me! And that jacket will last for twenty years! The old gentleman who sold that MB-jacket to me was right...he told me choose the very right size that fit my shoulders.
    I am kind of a rock star now!
    A new leather jacket is the best thing for your mental health!
    In my opinion the iconic biker jacket is simply the very best!
    The classic!

They're pretty open to such things, but if not them, there's probably other online/magazines that would be interested in an article. Definitely your own site too. Best of luck with the video either way, it's 10/10!

    Great video. No doubt the Schott brothers had tremendous impact on the biker jacket made famous by Marlon Brandon. Schott jackets are still manufactured and command over $1,000 yet they don't provide armor, let alone even have the pockets to accommodate the armor.
    Still, I read this classic was inspired by the double breasted uniforms of the Third Reich, designed by Hugo Boss, who was a member of the Nazi party.
    Personally, I ride with a Merlin Gable leather jacket. Much like any good riding jacket, it is full analine dyed 1.4mm cowhide. However, the Gable is also waterproof and comes with full d3o armor (back, shoulder & elbow), and has a full zip out quilted liner. I also love the look of the cafe racing style with the mandarin collar, a single vent on the front and dual vents in the rear.
    Thanks for sharing!

    Annoying thing as a dude: random men have come to challenge me into a fight multiple times, just because I wear a biker jacket. (Must be it, because it never happens if I go out without) Even when I'm clearly a chill person. Still doing it though.. but it's weird thing. Doubt it happens to a pretty lady using the biker jacket. It's just dudes.. They think you're badass, better than the rest, Terminator or something. Annoying.. for me it's just about metal culture (I play guitar in an extreme metal band), I don't want to fight some drunken idiot
