Can you identify this jacket?
« on: February 16, 2015, 09:43:23 PM »
Hi guys!
I hope you can help me to find an answer to my question :)
When i bought my bike (cb550-78) from the PO, who was a really old guy he gave me an old leather jacket the he said he`s got it a long time ago from a friend of his an so on...
The jacket does not have the manufacter or other signs except 2 badges with Honda, a small tag with Made in Englad and that it! The zipper are YKK, big ones, made from plastic.
Can you tell me what jacket is it? Have you seen another like it?

Some pictures with it:

I am 48 in Euro size, but the jacket doesnt seem like a tent on me. Its big, but not so big. I think size 54 on the jacket is also in Euro size.

A friend of mine reckons it's a Rothman's Honda jacket. I think this would fit in with late 70' - early eighties era
