Hi new here. Is wearing a leather jacket basically an invitation for trouble?

I don't know if wearing a leather jacket is asking for trouble, but commenting on it is getting kinda risky ,, a lot of Ronnie pickerings out there,, for non UK members here Google Ronnie :) :)

Looks like the 'artist' was a bit shy about it mind......
Probably so that some unsuspecting elderly person at the supermarket has to lean in real close to read what it says, and the delusional wearer of the jacket gets an opportunity to sucker punch the senior with his brass knuckles.

Strange, to be sure.

You mean italo-americans? Because here in Italy dressed that way you are going to look like a weirdo
You would be correct sir!
Funny thing some of us do here in the USA, myself included. I always reference my heritage, as I'm half Sicilian, quarter Polish, and quarter Irish. But I'm 100% American, born and raised. It's "Melting Pot" syndrome I guess..lol

Right! An I do not think that that style is "funny", it's only typical in certain countries and totally off in others... No problem at all with our american cousins

Most everyone in North America is from somewhere else, unless you’re indigenous. :)

That is a pretty fiery mix!!!

I just got back from Sicily, it is awesome. The food is out of this world. It will be very difficult to eat pizza ever again in the US after I had one in Sicily. What we have here is not pizza...:).
Well, food in Sicily is outstanding for an italian too!

I must very humbly disagree. Only Pizza is to be found in Napoli, prepared according to the rightfully strict rules of the AVPN.

Half-joking, of course (but only half, as I AM a stickler for Pizza Napoletana).

What I did is get a few leather jackets from EBay. Then I put them in a jar (holes punched into the lid, very important!) and shake vigorously.
This causes the jackets to get angry, and fight each other for dominance.
Once the dust settles there will be one jacket left standing. That’s your jacket.
Wear it around as you like, and if anyone starts any trouble, shrug out of the jacket, real quick, throw it at the aggressor, and stand back!
The jacket will take out your attacker, and give you a chance to make your getaway.
Then leave a window open a few inches so it can meet you at home.

Once used to hang out in an Irish Pub in a big industrial town, pub was a haunt of punks as we were called back in the day. Early one evening I was having a cheeky beer or five with my mate, both sporting black leather bike jackets, torn Levi’s and spiked hair. A couple of suits came in & I overheard them discussing our employment status (not the first drink for them methinks). One came over to us at the bar and said they were having a bet as to what we did or didn’t do for a living…I put on a plummy voice and said we were solicitors ‘roughing it’. He went back and the other suit came over asking whether we really worked in ‘Law’..I replied ‘no we don’t work mate we are on the rock n role..dole.. (state benefits). He went back and they started to argue with each other :) In reality we both worked for the Goverment at the time ‘Civil Service.

So basically you were a spy-punk or double agent-disruptor, working undercover for the government while at the same time trying to bring down the system in your free time! Punkest thing ever!
Respect. :cool:
