I don't necessarily see motorcycle jackets as "rock and roll." Of course, you all are more involved and in tune with rock culture than I am. The only way I see these jackets as being not as stylish or cool is if you think these jackets bring out posers/poseurs in people. I have always seen motorcycle jackets por femmes as a way to toughen up cute looks without being super-tough or fierce. Especially a nice cropped motorcycle jacket can be good with a dress or a top + jeans combo. Still stylish to me.
