Eco Friendly Harley Davidson clothing?

I love wearing leather while riding my Harley but am opposed to all the animals that are killed to make my riding outfits. Are there any ecofriendly motorcycle outfit riding outfit manufacturers out there? My only requirement is that it has to be branded with the HD logo.

Peace! Out!

The Expert answers:

You need to wear leather when you are on a Harley (the nylon “fag bags” are for the gay old guys that rid BMWs and Goldwings) so man up and buy the real stuff (it is not much use to the cow after the butcher gets the meat). Ride Loud and Proud…

The Expert answers:

The first thing you need, is a well designed flyer that has a clean, eco-friendly look to it. In it, explain your purposes; what you are doing, and why.

You also need to include in this piece, a very specific, and very clear explanation of what it is you want from them.

You could go as far as creating a free blog, and posting a bunch of information on there as well.

Include contact information on your flyer, such as a name, telephone number, email address, and if you end up creating a blog, include your blog address too.

Now you have to get copies of these into the hands of the business owners.

Also, you can make up some eye catching posters, and ask businesses to display these in their front windows.

Our church asked businesses to help collect new toys from whoever wanted to contribute, when Katrina hit. Christmas was coming, and our church was going to drive them there, and pass them out, along with food, clothing, etc. They made posters explaining the cause, and provided a large bin to each store that was gracious enough to participate. The response was so overwhelming, that we had to rent a commercial truck to accommodate all the toys.

The following year, those same businesses called our church to see what project we were doing, that they could contribute of. Thus, this started a yearly tradition for both the church, and the business owners.

If the cause is good enough, people will respond!

Hope this helped you.

Joseph asks…

What are some eco friendly martial arts clothing brands?

The Expert answers:

I’m not sure. Are you looking for mma culture clothing brands, like tapout, or martial arts equipment clothing, like gis, rashguards, and hakama pants? Because those are very different things.

Jaco advertises their clothing as being environmentally friendly, and sells a mix of modern grappling gear (rashguards, compressions shorts, etc) and swag/mma culture clothing.

The GreenGi sells all natural hemp gis that seem to be high quality- though I haven’t personally owned own.
