So my lovely wife has been hassling me a bit to get rid of one of my shirts. It's an old Harley Davidson classic I got in KL, way back when. I have mentioned this before, but still giggle that people think I'm a biker because I wear Harley clothes. Nothing could be further from the truth!
That's my current shirt line-up. Another Harley one has since been added (thanks wifey!) but all these are probably the best part of 10-12 years old. The Harley one in the middle is the shirt in question, showing some serious signs of wear. Here's me wearing it below, also showing serious signs of wear. Turning 50 this year after all!
So the reason I ended up with all this Harley gear is simple. For a gweilo like me, shopping for clothes in Malaysia, or anywhere at all in Asia, can be problematic. I don't go high end, and the local stuff just isn't made in my size. There were one or two department stores in KL where I could find stuff, but it was seriously hit and miss and a pain in the arse. So when I discovered the Harley store at Suria Mall, I was impressed. They had my size and I liked the styles. Over the years, I kept going there and got to love their clothes so much that even now, I gravitate towards the brand. Hopefully this doesn't attract the attention of some hairy biker at some point in the future!
