Can this ever be pulled off without looking like a cringe larper biker gang faggot?
yeah.
Look at this random dude youtube has just suggested me.Does he look like a cringe larper?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFkrsWZmCb0
>>18347945Jeff Goldblum really let himself go
>>18347945yes
>>18347945that dude literally looks like soijak, he is the poster boy for people who shouldn't be wearing jackets like that. Zero edge to him.
Yeah
>>18347945He's all over my Insta feed because I liked a post of a jacket
>>18347945I just saw another video from that guy and he looks so fucking gay. He's too happy to be wearing shit like this, you need some attitude. You dont need to go around kicking trashcans or anything, but at least look like you don't give a fuck, while this guy is just like "haha i have a leather jacket :D ". Larper
>>18347927I wear it because I'm a metalhead, the OP Pic is standard for metal type clothing
>>18347927Biker clubs are dying in the United States.
>>18348587And that's a good thing
Dunno, I would easily go for a ride wearing this jacket, but it doesn't feel like a jacket I'd want to wear for looks. I won't call it too larpy, but it has too much of "something".
>>18348672It depends on how it's made and looks, most brands make it look ridiculous.It depends on pocket placement, texture, those shoulder pads etc also remove the fucking belt it looks goofy
>>18348672I want this jacket but I'm not a rider. I'm scared
>>18347945That dreamwork face lol
>>18350040> I'm not a riderFix this and you'll be a happier man.An excuse to larp as The Wild One is just a bonus.I, however, decided against perfecto and went with B-15 style jacket. Day 2 of wearing it, but can already tell it feels good both on and off the bike, doesn't attract weird stares, easier to combine with non-biking pants and shoes.
My dad, who was a metalhead biker in the 80s/90s, gave me his. I sometime wear it in shit weather.
>>18350466Know too many people that got hit or killed on bikes to ever fall for the meme of riding oneAt least not on the roads. I'm fine with off-road
>>18347927absolutely yes, a leather jacket is normie af and easy to pull off on anyone that aint fat asf
>>18347927leather biker jacket is like the easiest jacket to pull off and look good if you're not completely retarded
>>18351046>>18350983I don't believe this
>>18347927yeah you just need a motorcycle and a time machine. motorcycle riders wear textile/mesh jackets now, these are nearly (just?) as protective against abrasion as leather at less than motogp speeds.
Would I regret not just saving up a bit more for horsehide?
>>18353268Horsehide is a big meme, quality full grain cowhide is just as durable and more comfortable.
>>18348672Under 6ft need not wear them either
>>18354809> mutt opinionI don't get the obsession with height.
>>18354852>manlet opinionDiscarded
> tfw only 174.6 cm
if you go for metalhead/punk style, sure
>>18348585Not just metal.
>>18350866Cherish that jacket, anon.
>>18351864Leather will make you infinitely warmer than any of that composite shit
>>18347927Be a metal musician.
>>18355864one of the little secrets about biking is that when you're sitting on an internal combustion engine you are usually too warm, not too cold
>>18347927I wear it with high top tennis shoes and I get compliments and don't look like what you've described.
>>18347927Just be a biker niga
>>18354809>>18355313james dean was 5'6 retard.
>>18347927I guess this is the right thread to ask. Where should the perfecto end? How long should it be? I own one and retrospectively I think it might be too short for me. If I put my hands down, it ends at the top of my hipbones. right where my pants start
>>18357191I answered you in the other thread but yeah, it's short and ends at your hips
>>18347927I think motorcycle jackets look amazing on the right person. I saw a guy wearing one that was muscular and had long hair and he looked so badass, I had to remind myself I only like girls But I saw another guy in a jacket just today who simply didn't have the right body and looks and his jacket looked really lame
>>18355468can't get much gayer than that hat
>>18347927Yea. Start riding a cruiser style motorbike. A white tshirt underneath and some denim. Packing on some upperbody mass hdlps too. Or getting a longer model that covers more of your lowertorso/pelvis. Or you csn alwats go for a bomber jacket instead
>>18350876You want to dress dangerously but not live dangerously. best keep away son
>>18358027My plan is to take the motorcycle safety course next month and then sometime this year, probably in the summer, I'm going to buy a Triumph Bonneville I own a Schott jacket
>>18357780>>18358027When you say muscular, what do you mean? I'm 5'10 about 165 lbs at 12-15% bf. If you look at me I look ottermode but that guy in your pic is like bearmodeAnd does it really have to be cruisers? I ride Yamahas mostly, although some MV Agustas and Ducatis are really tempting I have to remind myself I can't afford those or their temper and maintenance
>>18347927Modern day 1 percent outlaw biker gangs drive Lambos nowadays which is pretty based
>>18358160Never met anyone that is in a biker gang that wasn't a raging trumptard blue collar tradegies
I'm not even muscular, but when I go for a ride on my ancient shitbike, wearing a leather jacket, jeans and a retro helmet, I see random dudes giving me The Stare with a wide grin, that kind of grin your face can only make if you've seen something awesome.
>>18358759What kind of shitbike?I don't ride but my best friend does and we've always talked about me getting a bike and doing an epic road trip together
>>18358766Get any modern scrambler and you'll get a combination of decent ergos + decent handling + good looks with any clothes/gear (but extra cool with retro-inspired clothes including leather jackets) + scramblers are generally suitable for any trip even with light offroad segments.
>>18358784My dream bike is a Triumph Bonny
>>18358786Go for it.
>>18358786Ah, a man of culture, I see.
>>18358154Depends on the model of the jacket, the metal buckle [belt that sometimes comes with that style of jacket) can scratch up a gastank on some bikes. Classic bikes are the name of the game, single round headlight basically , not neceserally cruiser.It works on other bikes but not as wellBy packing on mass i did not mean 12% bodyfat 10pack with deathstardelts, ofc it helps.. Do some trap, delt and chest excercises. Getting just a litle sliver of thickness in those places makes everything fit better. Remember, you aren't competing with chris bumstead for girls/boys attention but with the 95.9% of other people who eat like shit, drink slightly excesively and don't excercise. (Personal exp, my frend had narrow shoulders and wide pelvis and tiny calves, a month after starting to excercise, he went from a 2.5/10 to a 4. Everything just fit him better, still a 2.5 withouth his shirt though.However, slimmer builds might be better served by a cafferacer jacket or a fully zippered up schot/brandojacket with smaller collar lapel and less bells, whistles and buckles>pic relatedI couldnt find a model off the top of my head so i used a vidyagayme
just get into punk and you can wear all the sick jackets you fucking want
>>18358931But power cord music is for brainlet retards
>>18359192>cordSpeaking of brainlets
>>18347927It hangs a lot better in old pics because guys used to be scrawny as shitModern door dash bodies would look ridiculous yes.
>>18358924i think the key to pulling off the more tapered cropped styles of jackets like perfectos is having that broad shoulder + decently small waist combo. if you have a very v tapered skeletal frame you can be pretty scrawny and pull them off. if you have a more typical frame then like you said get fit build your upper body/core and you can probably pull them off. and some male skeletal frame shapes namely guys with naturally wide hips should just outright avoid those styles of jackets.
its also crucial to balance out the upper and lower body with these things. they look very "ysl" with skinny pants. if you're not a 6'3+ northern european guy with god genetics its probably not the look.
>>18358638In australia, turkey, canada, uk, dubai and europe, 1 percent outlaw biker gangs drive lambos
What's the difference between a $6k one from a luxury brand and a $900 one from Schott?
>>183596976k? Those are clown world prices. You can a Freewheelers, Rainbow Country or Real McCoys jacket in Shinki horsehide for less than that shit In general, what you're paying for is materials. Lambskin is probably the cheapest, then goatskin, then cowhide then horsehide is the priciest. After than you're paying for the patterns and then of course the quality and craftsmanship A 2-3k jacket might be made of Shinki horsehide handcrafted in Japan and folded over 1 thousand timesA Schott jacket might be made of lambskin imported from an Argentinian tannery and sewn together in the USAAre they both good jackets? Most likely yes, but horse is more expensive than lamb and then other factors go into it That being said there is nothing wrong with Schott and I own one from them
>>18359697>6k>lambskin >SLPlmao I hope no one with a brain ever falls for this
>>18359497None of the guys in your pic are even 6' but OK.
>>18359697One is for riding bikes, the other is for fleecing trust fund brainlets.
>>18360497You guys would want trust fund chads in your biker clubA lot of hardened psychos from rich homes
>>18360500Right, let's never forget about our deep-pocketed brothers that can payroll club activities.
>>18355725>>18350866Of course.
>>18360664Oof
>>18347927Just join a biker gang. You're not some fag who can't hang are you?
>>18360533>pig skin>600$
>>18360934I considered making it $100, but whatever.
