It's almost jacket season. What leather jackets does everyone own or what are you planning to get?Post fits and inspo
>>18756295you look like a young freddie mercury but even more gay and with an extra chromosome or two
This is the only acceptable style of leather jacket.
>>18756295get rid of the hat and this is a fine fit
>>18756300Simple cafe racer is fine
>>18756308i own this one but never wear it. I feel like i'm trying to be a 2000s action movie tough guy and i look silly
>>18756309You're overthinking it, that said no chest pocket looks cleaner. Also no hardware collar looks slicker but I've only seen that in japanese mall brands
>>18756295wider hips than my wife
>>18756295>almostNot good enough IT'S STILL FUCKING OVER 20C AAAAAAAAAAAAA
w2c a jacket like this in schott/vanson tier?
>>18756295I have a Flat Head HS005 single rider and a seal brown Rainbow Country Hercules. Haven't really had the opportunity for any fit pics since I got them this summer.
>>18756324>Rainbow Country HerculesHi Del!
>>18756295>>18756300>>18756308>>18756312Obviously OP is bait but the sincere posts are concerning, all of this looks like cheap factory-made dogshit. If you want to wear a leather jacket and not look like some nerd in a costume get a real cow/goat leather jacket and not this synthetic-blend 'designer' trash.
>>18756330>t. larpfag pretending he knows jackshit about leather
>>18756332>look how expensive my jacket is, it even says "Genuine Leather" so it must be good!
>>18756336You are just a midwit pretending you know shit, first rule in the leather world is you never know until you burn it. As for how rugged or how polished/coated the leather is it's mostly a matter of preference, the most reputable brands offer different options, even cheap chink brands offer more natural kinds of leather for like $200
>>18756341look instead of saying a whole lot of nothing just be a man and stand by your convictions, unless you know your tastes are shit lol. Bottom line is your paper-thin childlabor racers will never compare to full grain US moto jackets. Im not even saying you need to own a bike to wear the jacket, rather you should invest in something thats built to be worn outside of selfies.
>>18756358>full-grain>muh thicknessOh look, more shallow buzzwords used by midwit shitters who know nothing about leather 3/4 of the jackets you quoted were made in the US btw, thanks for further proving us you're a mouthbreathing retard
>>18756363You keep calling me a dumbass yet never anything to prove me wrong. Bottom line is when they stopped making them for riders and instead went for fags trying to play pretend all necessity for quality went as well. It doesnt matter where it was made or how much you paid if it falls apart in the rain. Even if it is 100% leather it lacks the shape, weight and texture of legacy pieces. Keep throwing a tantrum because I dont like your costume fabric but it doesnt change the fact that they are just impractical, they fundamentally lack all of the leather motorcycle jackets identifying qualities.
>>18756368Fashion was always a factor, that's why you are being such a pathetic larpfaggot about muh legacy, muh heritage, muh bad boys. Actual motogp riders use thin kangaroo leather with no prior history in the bikerfaggot community.
>>18756308>>18756312>why yes, i do want to look like todd howard how'd you know?
>>18756370Dont know what you seek to prove here, neither cafe racers nor professional racing gear are fashionable. Theres a reason the cultural standard hasnt shifted from what it was over half a century ago, you can warp and subvert proportions all you like but it will still hide in the shadow of something greater.
>>18756378They've been fashionable since at least the 50s retard, moreso now where there are better and cheaper jackets made for biking, paying 2k to larp as a biker of the 40s is the very definition of cosplay
Is there a better alternative to getting an LLbean flying tigger off ebay?
>>18756377he'd look great without the pockets
>>18756330>all of this looks like cheap factory-made dogshitthat's because they're product photos of new jackets.it's not going to look any good until it's been worn a while.
>>18756330OP hereThis is a serious thread with a bait image as OP. Sorry, I couldn't help myself
My wife bought these two leather jackets for me. The left one is a size smaller than what I usually wear, but I can still fit into it. She said she wants me to look like a WWII pilot.
>>18756500these elongated boomer dad jackets are the worst. the proportions are all wrong.
>>18756511The older I've gotten the more and more I like cropped jackets. Leather, denim, etc. All look best when they come to your belt line. Too long looks sloppy and ruins the proportions Obviously certain styles are meant to be long like car coats or similar
Schott is really all you need
I own basically this exact jacket but in the naked cowhide version instead of the horsehide in the pic I'll post my actual jacket a little later
>>18757014And this is my Schott 188. Naked cowhide. I got it earlier this year right at the end of the cool weather so it was hardly worn but I'm gonna wear the hell out of it when it cools down finally
>>18756295I have owned this one for decades, and it was already worn as fuck when I first got it. It never failed me
All you need
>>18756308YUCK
>>18756327Thats a nice jacket
>>18756381No
>>18757022this jacket with the sleeves off with a grey hoodie, bleach dyed jeans and black docs was the look when i was in high school, always got me bitches at the backyard punk shows
>>18756317that's because your wife is a boi
>>18756295This is a pretty good cosplay, I'm not gonna hateThe dude looks hella soft, but the costume is very close to the real thing
Should I get a deadstock cop jacket without patches? They can be pretty cheap from what I've seen.
>>18757586what jacket?
>>18757601Not looking at a specific one right now but I saw some Taylor leatherwear jackets that looked pretty neat. https://www.ebay.com/itm/277803966941I really like the Milwaukee style.
I got a Zara leather shirt that I tried quickly hand washing and it lost a bunch of color.Unfortunately due to OCD I can't do leather jackets because I wash my stuff pretty much every wear. Thankfully I found a small hole around a seam and had grounds to return the jacket I washed.Leather jackets are crazy cool though.
>>18756295I have a couple of nice leather jackets. My favorite is my Aero Teamster in brown cxl horsehide. I also have an original 1950s West German Luftwaffe officers coat in a dark gray cowhide, which is pretty cool. I always look forward to the weather dropping below 40F so I can wear them.
>>18757729Unironically try some decent faux? Fake suede especially doesn't look too bad and is cheap
>>18756295I have searched far and wide for this (Half-Life 2 beta citizen) jacket, specifically the notched hem at the bottom. Still nothing.
>>18758276dystopian sci-fi vidya characters aren't going to be wearing off the rack anon, you're going to have to get that shit bespoke.
>>18758279it's strange that people having their planet stolen is still better dressed than most of usi found this denim jacket that is a little similar to the hl2 citizen, i don't like the zipper.
>>18758276 Beta is right.
>>18758282anon they're wearing prison denims.
I got this zara women's leather jacket for cheap on vinted, waiting for fall to try it out and see if I like it.
>>18758268Everything I ever hear about Aero is amazing. I think my first non Schott jacket will be from them
>>18758289gz on your slop purchase xister
>>18756295I think a red leather jacket over a white tee with tough blue denim jeans would look pretty good. But how the fuck do I pull it off without looking mad gay?Bonus point for wearing a tag around the neck with it?
>>18758288nice!
>>18758314I think a red jacket like this is cool but not in the motorcycle/cafe racer style
>>18758312It's slop, I'll give you that. But I'd rate try out some slop before spending hundreds on a jacket I'll probably regret. Besides it seems hard to find decent leather jackets in interesting cuts and not the long and slim soilennial cut jackets.
>>18758271I had a fake suede jacket that I wore when my OCD was milder, it ended up falling apart after 1-2 washes though.I think all fake leather will flake quickly if washed.I'm sticking to my canvas jackets for now.Sucks but in a lot of outfits the aesthetic is close.
>>18758642I'll still drop some inspo though
>>18758314fuckin travis touchdown over here
>>18758690I was actually thinking Akio Asukara, but yeah Travis Touchdown also works.I'm headed to Japan in a month or so. They have a lot of cool stuff in thrift shops there. Unfortunately I'm like 192cm / 6"4donuts or whatever so pretty much nothing there fits me.
>>18758596>spending hundredsThat's your problem, you're an order of magnitude off.
>>18758596>>18758881ebay is littered with great schott jackets someone wore once and then listed because they weren't confident enough to pull it offyou can get perfectos for half easily
>>18758310They're great, especially if you are looking for a more vintage style of jacket.
>>18756295i have a perfecto 519. should i cop some corcoran jumper boots to go with em or get some chucks? im aiming for a punk look
>>18756295I recently copped a vintage brown leather jacket, pretty cool but sleeves could be like a centimeter longer
>>18759067i absolutely love the pebbled cowhide leather Schott uses. I wish they offered it with more jacketsi own a 530 in it and it's so soft and comfy. i want a single rider in it
>>18756295OP image looks like a baby gay going to his first pride.
>>18759187looks like suede
