Okay, so I’ve been wanting a black leather riding jacket for, like, forever. I finally decided to just go for it and get one. Here’s how the whole thing went down.

First, I started looking online. I just googled “black leather riding jacket” and a million options popped up. It was kind of overwhelming, to be honest.
The Hunt Begins
I spent a good few hours just browsing, looking at different styles and price ranges. I narrowed it down to a few that I liked, based mostly on the pictures. I wasn’t too worried about brand names or anything, I just wanted something that looked cool and seemed like it would hold up.
- Checked out some online stores.
- Looked at customer reviews when I could find them.
- Saved a few links to jackets I thought were promising.
Making the Choice
After all that online searching, I decided to actually go to a store. I felt like I needed to try some on to really get a feel for the fit and the quality of the leather. I went to a local motorcycle gear shop.
I tried on a bunch of different jackets. Some were too stiff, some were too loose, some just didn’t look right on me. It was a bit of a process, but it was definitely helpful to actually see them in person.
Finally, I found one that I really liked. It was a simple, classic style, with a good, heavy feel to the leather. It fit well, and it looked good. The price was pretty decent too, so I decided to pull the trigger and buy it.

Taking It Home
I wore that new jacket on first ride, felt great, a little bit stiff, but I know after couple times riding, it will be great.
So yeah, that’s the story of how I got my black leather riding jacket. It took a bit of searching and trying things on, but I’m super happy with it. It was definitely worth the effort!
