When you buy a $45 shirt last night (at bike night) from a Tshirt company that sells motorcycles lmfao.

I know we always laugh at the price of Harley clothing. Even here in Wisconsin, it is no cheaper than anywhere else. I know we had a heated discussion a few years back in my riding club about Harley being 'American Made'. The truth, for those that may not know, not all of the parts on your American Made Harley are actually made in America. Forks, shocks, throttle bodies, CPUs, etc are just a few of the items that are outsourced components. Blah, blah, blah........
Motor company clothing is no exception. While most of the riding gear is built for Harley by other manufacturers, it is generally of really good quality and priced accordingly. Imagine how many people would be put to work in this country if the Motor Company simply did not change the price of the garments, but had them made and printed her in America. Yeah, I get it, the profit margin may go down a bit, but............seems like a good way to invest in the future economy.
Just saying.

The shirt tag does say "Made in USA" of imported yarn. $45 for a screen printed tshirt is a bit much IMHO, but hey I bought it lol.
But wait - it's not orange?! 😆
I've had Harleys for almost 20 years now. So I've spent thousands on shirt, jackets and caps. I also got hooked on buying those silly poker chips (300+). They were $1.00-$1.50 when I started, now they run $3.00 and up! They are proud of everything HD! lol
LMFAO, naw ... my 2nd green shirt for St Paddy's Day! First one I had on was Team RWB's last night at bike night.
Not that I profess to be some sort of marketing guru...........
But, here is an idea for someone to capitalize on.
Harley Pan America logo on each of the color shirts that correspond with each of the colors offered on the bikes.
Orange, yellow, blue, green, gray (My fav), Military Denim, etc.
I'm sure someone can figure that out.

For shirts similar to this one, the local H-D dealer is on the back. I agree though, great idea!
Since owning a Harley, which for me only started in 2021, I do stop at dealers and pick up a shirt. It's a fun way to get out and about and see some other dealerships. I wish the prices were cheaper, but it is what it is. I read somewhere a few years ago, that Harley makes more money from the sales of apparel than the sales of their motorcycles. Not sure if true, but I wouldn't doubt it.
