Just wondering if anyone had any quick fix's for getting your leather jacket buttons to hold stronger.  Once i hit around 110kph the like to rip open and let my jacket fly in the breez which is a massive pain in the @ss.

 

yeah ...slow down

Get someone to sew a couple of stitches either side of each button hole so the hole is smaller...

Super glue................................

What's a jacket... 

NYTRN ...we know u put the question up wanting serious answers/help ... but we cant help ourselves

what sort of buttons are they ... they the metal stud clip ones or like normal shirt buttons?

Metal Stud ones, it's a vest actually to sorry. Prob gunna try and spread the inserts with a hammer some how, so there harder to clip together.

maybe sew some velcro in between studs to aid it

or get those fatboy add ons ..you know the chains that aid in expanding waistlines hahahaha

Vest over the jacket....

they do get loose, just wear and tear like anything else on a Harley.

is the vest tight or loose on you if it is to loose the wind presure causes them to pop open only had it happen once but i did have a ducati then and was well over 200

but them things bucket put up are the ducksguts

brought a harley vest sometime back, had to chnage all the press studs. nice vest, crappy press studs.

i have bought harley branded gear and it all has fallen apart 2 leather jackets zip's were fucked

a bag i bought has fallen apart .........

dont waste ya money on it go to mca in sydney or anyplace like that .........

why spend stupid money on harley branded clothing thats made in india or some small asian contry that probly cost em $100 a peice and sell at 5 to 6 times what they pay for the stuff ...... my rjays jacket that is 5 or 6 years old is still going strong

You can't kill a Harley Brando jacket (the old school ones).

I have one press stud that is a dick on my vest. The rest hold (thankfully).

I figured as soon as I hit 'Submit' I was gonna get grief on that one... Dammit.

Get some pointy nose pliers and lightly crimp the back of the press stud so as the circular wire clipping mechanism is slighty compressed . Do it a little at a time until it is as firm as you wish.

Harley motoclothing is made underlicense

Damn RT, not a bad idea at all.

I get any leather work done in Ballarat at Saddleworld, their leather guy does great quality work at a very reasonable price. Have had press studs and zips replaced, and busted stitching re-stitched, always with good results.
Might be worth checking out if there's a decent Saddler near you, Leather is their specialty after all.
