Here's a great piece of stylish American history perfectly broken in, however, Japanese pricing on reproduction leather jackets never seemed so appealing to me.  It appears the Rainbow Country (California Manufacturing Company) from Japan got a hold of this exact model some time ago and reproduced their own version, the "30's Single Riders Jacket."






Here's the 30's Single Rider offered at a $2,000 discount.
