Street & Steel Dakota Jacket

If you’re a fan of the classic leather motorcycle jacket, then you need to check out the Street & Steel Dakota Leather Jacket.

If you’re looking for that classic look with the asymmetrical zipper and all of the old-school goodies, but want new-school construction, this is a jacket to consider.
