Doesn’t matter which generation your Indian motorcycle belongs too. This jacket is a classic that pre-1953 Indian riders were wearing and that many new adopters of the brand will want. Vintage looking because of its lines and aged brown leather, this jacket features a removable plaid cotton liner for all-season comfort, zippered side expansion panels and snap waist adjustment tabs, snap down collar and antique brass zippers. A total of 5 pockets: 2 hand warmers, 1 check pocket, 2 interior pockets. Embroidered Indian logo on front left. Applique/embroidered Indian logo on back. 100% leather. Sizes: S-5XL At your Indian dealer or online at Indian Apparel.

I have this jacket and I brought it at the ims show in dec 2012 when it first came out. Had it for over a year I wore(still do) in all weather and at all times highly recommend this its the most durable and reliable jacket. Even met Robert Pandaya at the ims show in ny this year great guy and stands by his product cant wait to see the new models besides the chief like the scout 841 and warrior(royal enfield).
Lose the cheek slapper collar and it could pass for a Buco copy!
Oldude that’s what makes it a Great Classic Jacket. Please don’t give up your Day job ! Check it out up to a 5 X well that means it will fit a 3 XXX to a very small 4 XXXX but still your are clearly making the right moves in your Apparel Dept. Also INDIAN.
I like it. It would take a really nice jacket to replace my Schott Perfecto
There are people (like me) who might consider it if the logo was gone.. Do the marketers ever explore the profit value of selling both? With and without logo? Curious..

p.s. @ oldude .. see: snap down collar
I do love the new leather jackets but it would be great if a matching pair of chaps would be available. The jackets are the traditional brown but where can you find brown chaps…can’t be done. PLEASE offer a full gear set up and it will be purchased…trust me! BLACK distressed or classic PLEASE. I spoke to the designer in Sturgis and the Director of Marketing
In hopes it would happen. Proud of my Indian…
Love the shape of this Jacket. Would seriously consider buying it without the billboard on the back.
Like it. Will sell well to Indian bikers…and others as a fashion statement. The same way Harley does it.
Well, Indian’s philosophy “If you can beat’em, Join’em” Following right along with HD’s marketing with apparel. lol… Come on people let’s be realistic here, it’s just another $500 leather jacket with a different name. Sheesh! 😉
Tommy. You’ve got a better idea before criticizing? If I ask you to do a leather jacket, how would it look? We are all interested, including HD & Indian.
This jacket will be THE non-riding hipster fashion jacket of choice for a decade at least.More power to Indian,and more cash in their coffers.It’s all good.
I haven’t seen the usual plethora of “Is it made in America” questions that we get when Harley puts out something new. Anybody know?
Logo on the front…cool. Logo on the back…too much. My 2014 prediction going forward is that big and numerous logos are out, subtle and understated is in.
Great looking jacket with a great logo on the back & front. Can’t wait to get one. Keep em comming INDIAN.
Drake, you’re missing the point… It’s ANOTHER jacket. Go to any reputible motorcycle shop, any Leather emporium and guess what? You’ll see this style of leather jacket at every single one of those stores, AND when you do pull it off the rack, I bet it will cost $300, not $500. It’s just another leather jacket with a logo. I agree with BobS, keep it subtle and maybe keep it under $300. Indian is jumping on the band wagon because HD has done it for SO LONG they Indian figured “sure why not, couldn’t hurt”.
and yes, if I were to design my own jacket, I wouldn’t put a silly little collar on it for starters! What are you gonna do? Iron it? lol
Amazing!!! I found a jacket in which is similar to the over priced $500 Indian jacket with out the silly-slap-in-you-face-from-the-wind-collar and useless zipper/chest pocket.. Persoally, looks better! for $110.00
Tommy. It’s you who is missing the point. Have you ever heard about leather quality, stitching quality, leather treatment against water, etc. A jacket is not equal to another jacket. I am pretty sure you buy Chinese junk parts because they are cheaper and look like an original quality US made part. Did you buy a korean tranny because it looks like a Baker? Probably, because it’s cheaper although it’s junk. Right?
I found many leather jackets at $99.00 on Lazelle Street in Sturgis and will never buy one. Guess why? Tommy doesn’t sound very bright. Since when cheaper = better?
Tommy: So your revelation is that you found a jacket that looks almost nothing like this one for $110.
That’s “Amazing!!!” =)
P.S. The collar is “snap down”, please read.
It’s a fashion jacket for cruisers,guys.If you want genuine crash rash protection you wear a Vanson Cobra jacket,or a Dainese race suit,as I do.There is nothing wrong with this jacket for profiling and city use.
lol, I never said “Cheaper is better” ? where did you get that?? but from a retail perspective, cheaper is always better (in terms of selling quantity/$$)
Brandon, I try and buy from American mfg’s, but even “Indian” parts, HD parts, your shoes, silver wear, toothbrush, hell I’ve even seen toothpicks made elsewhere! So please refrain from even bringing that point again. I’m not aware of any Tranny that “:looks like a baker” that’s made in Korea, and if there was, I bet it would work just fine for a $2K less. 🙂 and Brandon, if you own a shop, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t need to go there with a fine toothed comb to find “Chinese/Korean/non-US parts” 😉 …….yeah.
Again, it’s just a jacket! I’ve had my HD jacket for almost 10 years and still looks great, and it didn’t cost me $500, only $320.00 which to me is resonable for quality.
Oh, almost forgot, that $110.00 jacket, was made in the good ole’ USA!
Tommy.
“But from a retail perspective, cheaper is always better (in terms of selling quantity/$$). Unfortunately it’s false. Go to business school.
Also, it can be made in the USA and be of very poor quality. Our country is full of bad made in America products.
Your answer is proof of your poor judgment.
The collar has a hidden snap underneath, so when you’re riding it stays snapped down – so doesn’t hit you in the face.
