This special exhibit traces the design history of the leather jacket along with the evolution of the garment from protective gear to revolutionary wearable. Jackets on display will run the gamut, from historic garb, hand decorated specimens, and haute couture, to those worn by superstars past and present. Movie memorabilia, advertising materials, original art, and vintage motorcycles - including Elvis Presley's 1956 K Model Harley-Davidson - provide greater context in which to consider the rebel's most defining garment. Media presentations and public interactives will offer visitors a rare opportunity to examine one of the world's most symbolically charged pieces of clothing. Worn to be Wild: The Black Leather Jacket is presented by the Harley-Davidson Museum in partnership with EMP Museum.
