Old school Honda jacket

[TKonaCafe]

Hey there guys,

Hoping someone can help me find out a little more about this jacket.
I found this image while searching for an old school jacket to wear while I’m putting around town. Does anyone know who made it, When it was made( looks to me like 80s) the likelihood of finding one in a small/medium, Where to look other than eBay, Craigslist, and of course the classifieds here, etc.

Any info is good info

Thanks guys,
T

Not sure about that one specifically, but Hein Gerike made a lot of branded jackets for the manufacturers back then. I have a Kawasaki/Hein Gerike that is pretty similar in awesome ninja lime green.

It was also common to find sewed patches onto a custom jacket.


edit: Also, it could've been a genuine Hondaline accessory.

Try the UK Ebay since its made in UK. Also check etsy as etsy has a more international crowd. I’ve picked up some cool vintage track jackets on etsy.

Also, I bought a cool jacket in Paris long time ago. French brand. Cant get here. Over the years I have picked up another 3-4 in different colors all purchased on French ebay. As they say, everything eventually ends up on ebay.

PS Thats a nice jacket!

This is why I love barf. You’ve all put me in the right direction! Thank you!
I know it’s not something to ride hard in but I think it would be really cool to putt around town in or even hang above the nsr250 I’ll someday sell my kidney for
