Hi.
Can someone tell me more about BSA? Is or was that a brand?
Is these stuff (like the leather jacket in FAITH or the black suite he was wearing on the Rock in Rio II >> http://www.hohnroth.com/index2.htm) stil available?
Thanks,
Sebi |

BSA stands for Birmingham Small Arms, a motorcycle company that began in the UK sometime in the 30s or 40s. They eventually came out with a line of apparel that became Mod fashion in the 60s.
I don't think, however, that BSA actually manufactured George's Rockers Revenge Jacket, nor the one he wore at Rock in Rio. Rather, I imagine that stuff is custom made... |

| Haven't seen the jacket anywhere - a designer made only a few back when. Are you looking for wearing or collecting only? |

ACTUALLY BSA DOES STAND FOR BIRMINGHAM SMALL ARMS BUT AS THE NAME SUGGESTS THEY MADE GUNS ETC BEFORE GOING ON TO BIKES..
THE BSA JACKETS WERE MADE FOR A STORE IN LONDON WHERE ONLY 500 WERE MADE FROM WHAT I CAN GATHER AND GEORGE BROUGHT OFF THE RACK..YES SHOCK HORROR GEORGE LIVED IN A WORLD OF RACKS....THERE WERE 50 LARGE, 150 MEDIUM AND 300 SMALL, I HAVE A MEDUIM ONE AND IT HAS SERVED ITS DESTINY AFTER BEING ACKNOWLEDGED BY GEORGE AS I ACCIDENTLY COVERED HIS AUTO CUE AT THE CITY OF MANCHESTER STADUIM GIG ....THE PERILS OF FRONT ROW CENTER STAGE HEHEHEHE.
