I'd like to see your oldest, one owner jacket. The leather you bought years ago, brand new. Something you'll always keep for the sentimental value.
My oldest one owner is my Dur-O-Jac by Schott.
While I've never owned a motorcycle, I got this during my rough-housing days in high school in the late eighties, probably 88 or 89.
I paid under two-hundred dollars for it, and have come to find they're holding their value pretty well. It's US made, sort of the low end version of the Perfecto, using "second" hides. It still fits like a charm, and is tough as nails. It's got a nice little cigarette burn on the left lower front panel from being on a crowded dance floor in some dirty dive in the last 20+ years, and the seams on the belt have finally started to loosen, but other than that... You could not but a jacket of this quality for, I'm guessing, under five-hundred dollars these days.
