Made for an Insurrection customer in San Francisco, these pictures were taken this morning at Thunderhill Raceway Park, CA. VERY cool jacket!!! Great for a rocker or classic cruiser type...

In the title, that's supposed to read "no-expense-spared," NOT "no-expense-sparred." Sorry 'bout that. If a moderator sees this, could you please change it...LOL...embarrassing!!! :eeek:

That is one bad-**s jacket Moj. Love the jeweld garrison belt on that one. One question though, with all that metal and glass on the jacket how do you keep your balance? High center of gravity is no good for riding you know ;-) Do you have pics of the back?

It's the traditional Insurrection gussets, with the bi-swing only behind the shoulder sockets. I can try to snap a few before 2pm when I ship.

Well, you could spar in it and do well
Nice jacket. I could never wear it, but I can surely appreciate it for what it is. Nicely done.

You'd roast in it in Pasadena!!! ...LOL...

But I'd look good doing it

Great, thanks. Yes, I think they are commonly referred to as bi-swing arms or action arms.

The jacket fits you like a glove, you should just keep it for yourself and refund the customer ;-)

Based on Aero's J106 model?

It has much more in common with an authentic 1950s Buco J-24, but with a few changes.

What are the main changes they've made? I expect for one thing it will be slimmed down a bit - the Insurrection models I've seen do tend to be slimmer cut than the equivalent regular Aero across the board.

Mojo,
What are the "traditional Insurrection gussets?" Underarm "footballs?" If so, do you have Aero add these to the Insurrection 30's HB's?
Thanks.

ZF--We never add underarm footballs to any of our jackets. They add bulk to the jacket and are unnecessary. For our 1930s Slimfit Half Belt jackets, we keep it pretty simple, with a slim silhouette that aids in the traditional look. The jacket pictured above is much the same--slim silhouette and no underarm footballs.

When I say traditional Insurrection gussets, I'm referring to making the bi-swing back with action ONLY behind the shoulder sockets. Pegasus had some good names for these, one being "action arms," I believe. This is the method that Bates, Beck, Indian, etc. used way back in the day. It's the slim way...LOL...

When it comes to our 1930s Slimfit Half Belt jacket, we don't use any type of gusseting on the back of the jacket.

thanks mojo

This one's mine, mine, mine!!! I can't believe how thick the horsehide is on this! I've seen more original Bucos than most and, I have to say, this puts them to shame!

Although these Vanson CHPs from, and modified by, Insurrection don't have a D-pocket, they're absolutely incredible! I tried one on today and fell in love! I think the J106 that Insurrection puts out and Insurrection's modified CHP are the two single best "rocker" jackets on the market. I already own an Insurrection-designed Aero J106, but this Insurrection-designed CHP is going to be my next purchase!

Very nice motorcycle jacket. Sweet details and western belt!

 

[Mojo1975]

Just a camera phone picture...but man, these suckers sell like hotcakes! Congrats to the car dealership owner in Cali who scored this beauty!!!

At least you don't need to put the headlights on when riding.
But serious, in combination with the glasses and the "attitude" this looks a bit like "I'm so darn great, I would marry myself if this would be possible".

 

[ultrark2004]

i see the one the car dealer bought in the photo you posted & the other aren't the same. the "mine all mine has a different looking belt & studs on the collar, d pocket & other pockets plus belt loops. which one sells like hotcakes?
