Versatility for Alaska

Alaska has wide variances of temperature and conditions during the riding season. Initially, I thought the bobber jacket might be a shoulder seasons jacket only (spring and fall), but after riding it through the season its a very versatile jacket:

-Hot Days (65+ F): zip halfway and fold inner and outer collars outward for max airflow. Forearm zipper open.

-Slightly Cool (50 - 64 F): zip 3/4 and keep inner collar against chest. Forearm zipper optional.

-Cold Day/highway cruising (39 - 49 F): fully zipped both chest and forearm.

- Near freezing (35-38 F): fully zipped both chest and forearm, add base layer.

- Winter (-10-28 F): can't ride but will wear without armor, add hoodie underneath.

Here in Alaska, we get tons of rain and tons of bugs- something about this leather sheds light rain/water quite a bit and is easy to wipe off bugs with a microfiber cloth and some water. I ride almost daily and been in many light to moderate rain conditions and the bobber jacket hasn't needed a conditioner treatment yet; even through daily post-insect cemetery cleaning sessions. By now, my other leather jackets would've needed at least 2 conditioner treatments. This is a testament to the quality of the leather chosen by GoldTop.

The liner hasn't broken down on me yet- the stitching and material is still holding. I tend to break liners often in other jackets, but this one is still holding strong. It's warm, but not too warm where some venting as described above won't prevent you from overheating.

Joe took care of me and sold me some level 2 Knox Microlock armor to match the back armor I also bought for the Bobber and everything fits perfectly in the armor pockets. No detectable shifting- it lays perfectly over my spine, elbows, and shoulders. I am very confident that the AAA rated leather and level 2 armor inserts are the very best I can wear if, God forbid, I ever crash.

Fit wise- with armor in, is spot on. I wear a 42 in my suit jackets/blazers. Dad bod here at 190 lbs and 5'9". I ordered a 42 and it's a perfect fit, fitted around the stomach but not tight. Perfect on the shoulders. Sleeves are perfect length on and off the bike. Length of jacket is great when seated upright or leaned forward, perfect as well. I can wear a light hoodie under the jacket and fully zip it up though it is more snug but still not too tight to be uncomfortable.

This jacket travels with me all over the state of AK even when I'm not riding and I get compliments nearly weekly about how unique and cool the bobber jacket is. Be prepared to say things like:

"Thank you, yes I like it too."

"It's an English brand: GoldTop, you gotta get it online."

"No, it's not a thousand dollars."

"Yes, they ship here."

Best jacket I've ever had

The quality stands out a mile. Leather is beautifully soft & doesn't need wearing in, perfect the 1st time I put it on. Gloves to match the jacket & colour is perfect match.

Fantastic! The look! The quality! All top notch!

Bobber Jacket stitching

I wanted to share some thoughts about my recent purchase—the Bobber jacket in brown, order #30952. First, let me say how impressed I am by its design; the jacket is incredibly beautiful, and the gold liner is simply stunning. It’s warm and versatile, making it perfect for both Fall and Spring, and even suitable for winter if you’re riding lightly. The leather is exceptionally thick—much more so than my jackets from BMW, Dainese, Bilt, First Manufacturing, and others—which adds to its premium feel.

However, I’ve been having some trouble with the stitching. In several spots, the stitching keeps coming off, and I find myself needing to burn the cords with a lighter in hopes of stopping them from unraveling any further. Unfortunately, in some areas, particularly in the middle section, the stitching is coming loose entirely, and using a lighter doesn’t help. While I truly appreciate the craftsmanship and style, this issue has made me hesitant to purchase the 76 Cafe, which I’ve also had my eye on.

I have brought this to your attention in hopes that it could be addressed, as it’s the only thing holding me back from being completely satisfied with the jacket—and from considering another purchase. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
