Crusty in the right places. Worth the chew.
Summary
A local charity in Erie, PA has launched its 10th annual leather coat drive specifically targeting "bad boys in need." The drive collects full-grain cowhide motorcycle jackets through drop boxes placed at locations like pool halls, 24-hour diners, and biker bars. Organizers emphasize that jackets can be well-worn, as tattered fabric adds to the "bad boy mystique," and they particularly need broad-shouldered and athletic fits for the target demographic.
