View Full Version : Shoei Leather Jacket!?!?

I have recently purchased a jacket from craigslist, which was a Shoei leather jacket w/ CE approved armor. It has all the legit tags (It seems, including a random german one), and the person who sold it to me stated that they had gotten it a few years ago for 600$ but only wore it to track days--never crashed in it.

I've never heard about shoei making a leather jacket, but the quality seems nice and not like a cheap knock off. Pads are zipped and stitches are well-done like in a similiar high-quality brand fashion. I just was hoping that I wasn't ripped off. Got the jacket for 150$

Looks like a really nice jacket!
Not a fan of the color though. It would look right at home on a Kawacker though. :thumbsup:

I'm just hoping that it wasn't a fake jacket since I don't know anything about motorcycle gear

I doubt a fake would have the Shoei logo. Looks like a good buy!
