An AI-generated image of a biker in blue leather biker gear, created by RebelBikerDude using Magic Studio
The black leather jacket (or BLJ as it is often affectionately shortened to) is synonymous with bikers and biker culture, but it does not claim an absolute monopoly in this field. Back in those pre-Cambrian times when I was still a young(ish) biker, motorbike accessory shops selling leather motorbike jackets often included among their preponderance of BLJs some leather biker jackets in various other colours too. The most frequent were ones in either royal blue or a deep midnight blue, plus various black ones decorated with red epaulettes and/or red atripes encircling the arms (I had one of those myself). Others that I saw now and again were various shades of brown, or, less commonly, green, white, and for the very bold, extrovert types, even one or two scarlet jackets. Sometimes there were matching leather jeans too.
(Nowadays, of course, one-piece or two-piece leather motorbike racing suits come in every conceivable colour and combination of colours imaginable, but this trend was less common back in my biking heyday, when the studded, badged-up, extensively and individually customised BLJ look dating from the classic 1960s rocker/greaser period still held sway, and which I'll be returning to via a gallery or two at a later dare.)
Anyway, as blue has always been my favourite colour, I had long toyed with the idea of purchasing a royal blue or deep blue leather biker jacket, and one day a biker mate who actually owned one told me that he was selling it as he'd grown too big for it now, and, knowing that I liked it, he asked me if I'd be interested in buying it off him as it was still in great condition. Had it fitted me, I would have done, but when I tried it on it was so tight that, to quote a favourite, often-used expression of my late mother, I looked like a strangled herring in it! Sadly, moreover, I never did get around to buying a blue leather biker jacket from anywhere or anyone else either, and as it's been a very long time since I last saw a biker wearing one, perhaps they are no longer manufactured?
Consequently, as a tribute to coloured biker jackets, especially blue ones, I have created this gallery, which, as its title indicates, contains pix of bikers in blue leather biker gear and green leather biker gear. Moreover, because, as you'll readily recognise, this gallery's title was directly inspired by that of a certain well-known song, namely Lavender Blue, Dilly Dilly, Lavender Green, I've also added some pix of bikers in lavender leather biker gear, just for the hell of it, lol.
