 |  Got my new jacket! Well, I got a new Joe Rocket Suzuki Corona Repli jacket from my parents for Christmas since they can't come to visit on the holiday. There's something you all should know about some of Joe Rocket's newer leather jackets. For some unforseen reason, they decided to put a piece of elastic on the outside of the forearm (180 degrees around the sleeve from the zipper on inside) and attach a "keeper" piece of velcro on that side. The zipper side has absolutely no "keeper" or safety snap to keep the zipper closed all the way to the cuff. This could pose a potentially harmful situation if you are not wearing race style gauntlet gloves! All you have to do is give a minimal tug to the side of the cuff and the zipper easily opens to the stop. Aside from actually altering the cuff and possibly voiding your warranty, the only fix I have discovered is to zip to the cuff and tuck the zipper back under the leather edging and press it back down around the zipper. Once the leather is broken in, this probably will cease to work. If you own a newer Joe Rocket leather jacket with this problem, I strongly suggest you contact them and point out this problem.
