Every so often a box of wonderfulness comes from the kind and generous folks at the Rider WearHouse in Duluth, Minnesota.
It is often packed with wonderful, warm, functional and butch-looking riding gear that is remarkable for being well-made, durable, comfortable and as practical as a spoon at a clam-chowder eating contest. We've received a few of these boxes lately, so let me tell you about the goodies we got.
The Falstaff Jacket $327 [#170]
I'm in love with my old blue Roadcrafter, so I was excited to try out the Darien Falstaff jacket I received last year. I got it for our "McQueen v. Knievel" shootout to look cool riding around on the Triumph scrambler. After all, waxed cotton -- the original waterproof textile, used by whalers and the Gorton's Fisherman, as well as riders in the sunny British Isles, is a classic look for motorcyclists. Andy Goldfine of Aerostich is kind of a garment nerd and loves to experiment with different fabrics and "stiching," with a love for old-world craftsmanship.
