The Harley-Davidson Men’s Timeless Bar & Shield Jacket – Black 98401-22VM combines durable 100% nylon twill construction with a polyester taffeta lining, a comfortable action back, zippered storage, rib-knit detailing, and iconic Harley-Davidson Bar & Shield graphics.

Classic Harley-Davidson Shield Jacket Design

The Timeless Bar & Shield Jacket is designed as a classic bomber-style outerwear jacket. Its black nylon twill exterior gives it a durable appearance while maintaining a clean silhouette suitable for casual everyday wear.

The signature Harley-Davidson orange appears through the contrast piping and rib-knit collar trim, creating a subtle but distinctive color contrast against the black exterior.

The centerpiece of the design is the large Bar & Shield appliqué. This iconic Harley-Davidson graphic instantly identifies the Harley Davidson Mens Timeless Jacket as part of the brand’s enthusiast lifestyle collection.

Durable Nylon Twill Construction

The Shield Jacket is made from 100% nylon twill, selected for its durable yet comfortable outer construction. Inside, a 100% polyester taffeta lining provides a smooth interior feel.

This construction makes the Harley Davidson Mens Timeless Jacket particularly suitable as casual motorcycle-inspired outerwear for spring, fall, and cooler everyday conditions. It is important to note that this is a lifestyle/casual jacket rather than a certified motorcycle protective jacket.

Action Back for Freedom of Movement

One of the practical design features of this Harley-Davidson jacket is its action back. The additional back construction provides greater freedom of movement, making it easier to move your shoulders and arms while wearing the Harley Davidson Mens Timeless Jacket.

This is useful when riding casually, walking around motorcycle events, working around your bike, or wearing the Mens Timeless Jacket throughout the day.

The action-back design complements the Harley Davidson Mens Timeless Jacket’s bomber styling while adding practical comfort without compromising its classic appearance.

Zippered Storage for Everyday Essentials

The Timeless Bar & Shield Jacket provides several convenient storage options.

• Two zippered hand-warmer pockets
• One interior zippered stash pocket
• Full front zipper closure

The exterior hand-warmer pockets provide convenient storage while also giving your hands a comfortable place to rest in cooler weather. The interior zippered pocket is useful for keeping smaller essentials more secure.

Rib-Knit Collar, Waist and Cuffs

The Shield Jacket uses rib-knit detailing at the collar, waist, and inner cuffs. These elements reinforce its classic bomber-jacket appearance while creating a comfortable finish around the body.

The rib-knit collar also incorporates the contrasting Harley-Davidson orange color, giving the otherwise black jacket a distinctive brand-inspired accent.

Adjustable zipper cuffs provide additional flexibility at the wrists and allow the sleeve opening to be adjusted according to preference.

Iconic Bar & Shield Graphics

The defining feature of the Timeless Bar & Shield Jacket is its Harley-Davidson branding.

• Embroidered Harley-Davidson patch
• Large embroidered Bar & Shield appliqué
• Contrast piping
• Harley-Davidson orange collar detailing

The combination creates a classic Harley-Davidson appearance without relying on excessive graphics across the entire jacket.

The large Bar & Shield appliqué is especially effective for riders who want their Harley-Davidson enthusiasm to be immediately recognizable.

A Casual Alternative to Motorcycle Riding Jackets

While the Shield Jacket has a strong motorcycle-inspired appearance, its specifications identify it as a casual jacket, rather than a certified protective motorcycle riding jacket.

For riders looking specifically for motorcycle riding equipment, you can compare it with the Flick Leathers textile riding jacket or the Harley-Davidson waterproof motorcycle jacket.

Black and Orange Harley-Davidson Styling

The black color gives this Shield Jacket excellent versatility. It can be paired with jeans, motorcycle boots, casual trousers, Harley-Davidson shirts, hoodies, and other motorcycle-inspired apparel.

The orange contrast piping and collar trim provide just enough color to make the Harley Davidson Mens Timeless Jacket stand out without overwhelming the classic black design.

Caring for Your Jacket

It comes in 13 sizes (2XS to 5XL, plus 1W–3W). If you are between sizes or plan to wear thicker layers underneath, size up. Wash the shell gently with a mild detergent and let it air-dry; remove armor first. Curious about the history? Wikipedia covers Motorcycle helmet in detail.
