Great idea!!!!

Too funny, Harley guys are decked out head to toe and most of us are a little nervous, myself included, about wearing the jacket.

Most of my Corvette stuff would be called inconspicuous!

But first, get it signed by A. Duntov.

This is great! My wife bought me the exact thing, only in T-shirt form. We both buy each other stuff that neither will ever wear, but that doesn't stop us from trying. Every once in a while I'll get lucky and get her something she really likes. Every couple of years we'll go through our stuff, have a few laughs, and head down to the Salvation Army to donate. Your girl is hot, so even if she buys you a pair of Zuba's, wear them!

#1-Who cares what other people think.

Don't go by what you think other people will think.

Very nice looking lady my friend, obviously she enjoyed buying it for you and she thought you would like it, that's goes a long way in my book whether I liked it or not.
Lot of guys out there wish they were that lucky

Thanks, believe me I do feel lucky having her, and I do like the jacket, I always believed its the little things that count.

And thank you for the commpliments on my GF, I told her I put this up on here for you guys to see and she turned as red as beet, she doesnt realize how pretty/hot she really is.

But like I said I do like the jacket, it wasnt meant that I didnt like it, I thought it was cool and of course she saw it as soon as we stepped into the store. Will keep me warm during the spring cool air with the top down cruising down the highway

I wouldn't wear it all the time cause obviously it looks more like a racing jacket as one put it then an everyday jacket, and there will be a times and places for it.

As for a picture she'd kill me if she knew but she won't be on here since she doesn't understand computers lol
I'd let her buy me a jacket anytime!

And your GF is very pretty I'd sure wear it to select places just to keep her happy !!

After all you do drive a corvette, that speaks loud and clear that you like the finer things in life. What's wrong with showing off your love affair outside of being in your car.

There's no way I would wear that. No chance at all. Maybe, MAYBE a t-shirt with a simple logo or something.
Very nice gesture for her to buy it for you though.
I'm 39 for what it's worth.

I wear Harley shirts when I drive my vette and corvette shirts when I ride my Harley. If you like it wear it and thank her for the gesture.

You are doing just fine. Be thankful and it seems you are. She seems, and looks, real sweet.

One test is to wear it places WITH her and see if she ends up feeling embarrassed about it or how/if people react.

No, it's not an everyday kind of garment and it's a C6 logo but kinda cool.

Have fun....

Agreed. I'd not only wear it, I'd reward her. Happy to help with both.
