Beautiful vintage Harley Davidson Travel-Mate
Quite rare jacket model. These were produced in
the late 50s into the 60s as a ladies version of the
Traveler mens jacket.
I believe this is a 1958-59 model, based on the label.
At some point, I was asked by Harley Davidson to
share photos of this piece.
I’m not sure if these were made with Steerhide
or Horsehide. Very thick leather, and hasn’t even
been properly broken in yet! Zoom in to see the
texture of the hide. It reminds me of horsehide
quite a bit, but no tags to confirm.
Some normal signs of wear, but surprisingly
good condition. No neck or upper back cracks
in the leather :)
Flaws:
- One collar snap is broken (not seen when collar is flat)
- Normal fading on sleeves
- Minor scuff marks
