ding ding, we have a winner  :daumenhoch:

it was on the bay for a long time with a semi hefty price tag on it. ive had my eye on it forever just drooling over it but could never come up with the cash. recently they were hacking the price down but i still couldnt afford it so i made a deal with my friend and he got it for me. now i owe him a paint job on his car.
im surprised nobody else picked it up since it was for sale for so long.

its very fonzie  :coolsmiley:  i did the whole "ehhhh" with thumbs up when i put it on   ;D
fits me pretty good but im skinny and if you are any bigger than me then there is no way anybodys arms are getting in it lol.
i was talking with paul murray a bit about these jackets last night and got a little bit more info on them. he still has the one he was gave by the hb guys when he was working/riding for them. they surprised the welders with jackets.  pauls is identical to mine, a l.a. roxx jacket in the same size.

he said his didnt fit him very well the very first day, could hardly get his arms into it lol.
he got a l.a. roxx one but shane kinsley got a wilson leather one the same day and said that the fit on that one was a bit better,even tho they didny get sized because it was a surprise.
i have some pics of hoffman wearing his. it looks almost the same but with slightly different colors on the back logo, ill try and dig up those pics. might have one of psycho too  :daumenhoch:

That jacket was on ebay for at least 2 years. Nice pick up! You're right though, the price was way too high for it for a long time.

havent got a chance to "model" it yet but i did find out some cool info on these jackets.
l.a.  roxx was a high end hollywood leather boutique started in 84 until 97. hand built and considered one of the best for quality with a price to match. their main clientel was the mtv set like guns+roses, metallica, montley crue, aerosmith, def leapard, black sabbath, zz top etc.  and can be seen in various videos and such  :daumenhoch:  they got out of leather when the leather age was waning and started making sexy high end lingerie and swimsuites and is now called forplay.
cool little bit of trivia.

anyways until i can get a few shots here is a few pics of mats jacket, he used different logo colors on his first team jackets in 92.
