Back when we picked bugs out of our teeth, our favorite ride was a stretch of two-lane blacktop, just west of Duluth. It was narrow, smooth, curvy – just made for an old Commando. Our Fire Hose Blacktop Jacket recalls those glory days, with styling as simple and functional as an old British twin – no chrome stars, buckles, epaulets. The 100% cotton Fire Hose canvas shell is rugged, abrasion-resistant, treated to shrug off moisture. Windproof 100% polyester fleece lining forestalls shivers on long rides, cold days. No restriction when you lean into the curves, thanks to freedom of movement features, including vertical spandex inserts at the shoulder blades. Sleeves are a bit longer, to cover when you reach, with gusseted zip cuffs that adjust for different kinds of gloves. Wear our Blacktop riding, or just as one bad-looking work jacket. Anybody remember the way to Sturgis?
