Black Rivet Distressed Moto Jacket – Video Review

This is not a sponsored post, but Wilson’s Leather sent me the Black Rivet Distressed Moto Jacket for review. (Not an affiliate link.)

When Wilson’s Leather asked me to review a jacket or a bag from their store, I had a flashback to the mall days of my high school youth. When I asked Rob Hatch about it, he said the same thing: “Malls and Bon Jovi fringe jackets.” Now, that’s partially because we are 40 and we grew up in the late 80s. But I was really surprised when I checked out what they had and I immediately said that I’d love to check out a jacket.

What follows is my review of the Black Rivet Distressed Moto Jacket. I picked it because it looked pre-beat-up (important for a jacket) and it looked like something the X-Men would wear, without being dorky (well, dorkier than wanting to look like the X-Men). Here’s the video:

Just a quick funny bit: it was SO HOT when I filmed this, so I put that jacket on as briefly as I could. I can’t wait until autumn, so I can wear it more.

    Do they have a version fit for Puerto Rico’s Frigid Temperatures.

      They had some with sheepskin lining, so I’d say yes. : )

          This is very dead cow, not your green hippy stuff. : )

            Hmm let’s just hope it died out of Natural Causes… Lucy is laughing at your Green Hippy Stuff comment!

            Yes, all the leather jackets here in the mainland are produced from animals who die of natural causes. Now you can sleep at night : ).

    That could be a very good site for boyfriend gift shopping. Something to think about since his birthday is in a few months.

    Better to do a review of a leather jacket in the summer than a review of a bathing suit in the winter.

    Just saying :)

      BTW. Your comment about the summer heat did entice me to watch this, so good job. I do remember boston in the summer (90+ even at midnight some nights), so I can totally relate.

      What I like about this post is it’s a reminder to me that sometimes we ultimately like what we didn’t think we would. I honestly don’t like plaid patterns, but actually found some ones that I liked after my wife prodded (e.g. forced :) me to try some on.

      So life is full of pleasant surprises. And the jacket does look good, btw.

    Wow, did you just really review a Wilson’s leather jacket? I’m at a loss for words. From now until forever, every time I see you commenting on anything I will remember this and chuckle.

    Just don’t ever actually wear it on a motorcycle – it’s very much a fashion jacket, despite the name…

    Mind you, if you think one review is bad, I used to have to wear 10+ leather motorcycle suits in a row for photoshoots for product reviews (They’d photoshop my head, hands and feet out – it was cheaper to use a journalist than a dummy!).

    Very cool jacket. Am also a Camaro man, but have not owned one since 1979. They are highly overpriced down here in Australia.

    “Camaro Guy”? What do you have?
