Here I have a vintage leather Harley Davidson Cycles Beret captains hat.
This hat belonged to my father. Another one of his treasures he allowed my to keep on display in my room :)
I was not allow to wear it though.
My dad said a lady wears lace not leather.
He believed women should wear long lacey gowns, have long natural hair and long nails, no makeup. LoL
Ok, back to the hat... it was made by the Colorado Leather Goods in Colorado springs.
It's stamped PC1 Harley
It's been in my family for at least 30 years.
I actually emailed the company and asked for information about it. I'm really hoping they'll be kind enough to reply. Fingers crossed. I would love to know the actual age, type of leather, etc.

Friends,
Thank you for your interest in our products.
We definitely made the cap in question. It has probably been close to 30 years since we made those. We sold our manufacturing business about 18 years ago; now we sell Raw Materials.

We'll look forward to hearing from you.

Everytime I see these, I think about Rocky Balboa. Very very cool! =^)
I had to get the lamp to model it because the agreement with my daddy was I could keep it on display in my room but he told me I wasn't allowed to wear it.
HA! LoL. >.<
Tom, I don't remember Rocky wearing one like this.
Aimathena,
Love the hat, I wear a pure Wool hat with silk lining everyday. I have quite a few hat like this and collect the every time I find one. Mine is from the 1930's.

I was actually reading an email from the manufacture of this hat when you commented. They said this hat was made 30 years ago.
