Harley Davidson Clothing For Kids – 3 Reasons to Choose Harley For …
February 2, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
It can be a lot of fun shopping for children's clothing. however, as we all know, kids like to play rough and in places that aren't exactly the cleanest. it can be difficult finding clothing that can handle all that wear and tear. Harley Davidson prides itself on making quality clothing, which is why they are one step ahead of us when it comes to designing children's clothing. furthermore, Harley Davidson understands the importance of a hard earned dollar. When developing their kid's apparel line, Harley works hard to design durable, affordable, comfortable and low maintenance clothing.
Here are 3 reasons why any parent should consider Harley Davidson kids clothing;
Design & Durability
In the beginning, before their development of children's apparel, Harley Davidson focused primarily on adult clothing. they became experts in making durable, waterproof and comfortable clothing which was fitting for both bike tours and everyday life. Having excelled in this first is what makes their children's clothing even more alluring. Just like their adult clothing line, HD kids clothing is created with high quality materials which are exceedingly resilient. Put it this way, if the clothing is designed to survive the wild roads then they are sure to endure an outdoor game of hide and seek.
Distinctive and Comfortable
Harley Davidson kids clothing is designed to be distinctive and express a child's individuality. Most children's clothing companies mass produce trendy apparel that tends to make every child look the same. Harley's clothing line keeps their design simple and classic, but at the same time they use only the highest quality fabrics such as pure cotton and authentic leather. this gives their clothing a unique look as well as making them super comfortable. Harley D clothing is an excellent choice for any parent who has grown tired of Disney, Sponge Bob and Pokeman.
Affordable and Charming
When it comes to children's clothing, you usually end up spending more money on brand names. and once your child gets to a certain age, all they will want are brand names! Harley Davidson is a brand name and you do end up paying for their long lasting quality, however, it is still affordable and can often be purchased online for discount prices. but rest assured, paying an extra buck for an article of clothing that will last for years is certainty worth it. HD definitely has more bang for your biker buck!

buddy of mine came over yesterday to drop off a helmet he wants me to paint. I hate to paint over the paintjob on it now, but that's a whole other story. I am already painting the sidecovers for his sportster, and we got to talking about what it will cost him for me to do everything.
He stopped mid sentance (in deep thought) then said something to me that made my day. he wants me to continue on the paintjob, and he made me an offer for payment.
He will pay for my costs in paint, clear, etc, and for labor, he is giving me a 1972 Harley 350 sprint. The bike belonged to his late father in law, and had been stored in an old wood shed for the past 15 years or so. he said it is not great shape, but not bad. no dents in tank, motor still turns over (he said about a month ago he cranked the kickstart and everything moved freely) said there is some rust and it doesn't currently run.
his sister in law told him to get rid of the bike because it wasn't worth anything, they wanted him to just take it to the scrapyard with a truckload of junk metal.
He is not interested in a bike of that nature at all, but he said he knew I would tinker with it and fix it up, so it was mine if I wanted it.
I haven't seen it yet, I am supposed to go look at it this weekend and if I like it and agree to the deal, we are loading it in my truck and bringing it home.
I am sure a sprint will be hard to find parts for, and might not be easy at all to make it run again, but hte price was right and might end up being a cool project, even if it does take 2 or 3 years to restore.
I know it's quirky and the thing will most likely never be worth anything, but none the less, I think it's cool
