Last month when I saw that South Beach Leather was making the Rocketeer jacket again, I ordered one. I was also happy to see that they offered the harness as an add on. At the time, they didn’t have a separate listing for the harness. I ordered a medium jacket and the shipping was super quick.
to answer the question, yes - the front harness buckles are removable. You can see in the picture that there are snaps.
While it’s close, my harness has a couple of issues:
- it’s to big. Not sure what size it is. As a jacket addon, it didn’t have a size option. I had hoped it would be something compatible with the selected jacket size.
- Out of the package, there are no adjustments for the harness.
- the color is the same as the jacket. It should be darker, but I don’t see that as an option even if you purchase the harness separate.
- the side straps are really wide. It’s very difficult to get between the bib buttons.
Just wanted to show everyone what it looks like. I’m probably going to try to use some leather dye to darken mine and cut down the straps in the front. I plan to always use the bib with mine so it will never be seen. As for the width of the side strap, I’m not sure. Maybe I can get it between the buttons.
Now to find some affordable boots and to make or buy some gloves!
