This gnatty old soiled beat denim Motorcycle Gang jacket from Cleveland Ohio appealed to me and I added to the collection. The "smiling skull" emblazoned with the number 13 I assume has to do with the gang itself. I have not been able to find the specific gang name and tried - does anyone know? ...The large Maltese cross on the back I knew in my youth as a "surfer's cross" - I believe it may have also been called a "biker's cross". This relic of a jacket from the hippie biker era saw some use and we can only imagine what "the use" entailed.
I love that jacket.
Not any "Charter" style logo, these patches were readily available, back in the day. This would be a "Lone Wolf" cut-off, which means this person was wearing as an expression of their lifestyle. Again not a club, but life choice.
Thanks... which helps it fit the hippie criteria - appreciate your help.
You're very welcome, enjoy looking through your postings, keep them coming.
I agree with Kerry10456. Lone wolf who was just trying to live the biker life. nice piece.
Cool Jacket. Definitely a Lone Wolf. Two of my older brothers were in clubs with specific charter colors back in the late 60s. Next to impossible to buy one. I really wouldn't want to wear it if it was available (club's rules) :)
LOVE your collection! Do you ever sell any of these items?
