My dream jacket is the Schott Perfecto but I would feel like such a poser wearing one
I know how to ride a motorcycle but I'm not a "motorcycle rider" and I used to play in a shitty rock band but not anymore. I still just love the style

>>18371497
Does anyone know a leather jacket that has the shape of a bomber jacket but with a high collar?

>>18371512
What do you mean by "high collar"?

>>18371504
The belt ruins it. If you wear it open it flaps around like 2 limp cocks.

>>18371619
Schott does loads of versions of the Perfecto, some with belt, some without, some with it snapped into place, etc.
Worth looking at all the different versions if one is considering getting one to make sure they get the one that works best for them

>>18371669
What jacket? I'm kinda digging the huge zipper pockets

>>18371512
Rick Owens has made a lot over the years.

>>18371682
Early Margiela 5 zip

Leather jackets that do not at all look 20th century military or biker inspired?

>>18371504
It takes years to break in a jacket, not giving a fuck is like a prerequisite because it looks shit for a long time

>>18371708
Yea

£1150 bong bucks, too expensive for me, but a very nice jacket and big discount.

>>18371708

>>18371771

Im rtrded

>>18371708
pretty much just leather version of trucker jackets or blazers, maybe dusters, etc.
remember, the leather jacket is pretty much military or biker inspired to its core. Aviators wore them out of necessity, and same with bikers, so they evolved out of that
things like type III leather jackets are a fairly recent thing taking into account the history of leather jackets

>>18371773
this is very clearly based on bomber jackets from WWII

>>18371497
why do leather jackets look horrible on me guys?
im white guy, athletic body, brown hair.
leather jackets all look like im larping as a masculine man on me.

>>18371820
Because you're too insecure and it shows. Also, I'm guessing you've never owned a leather jacket, probably only tried one on
Leather must break in and when it does it drapes and moves better than a stiff heavy new jacket. You just gotta commit to it, wear it and break it in and own it
I am convinced anyone can wear a leather jacket if they just commit and don't overthink it

life is so difficult sometimes. i got a size 44 schott 141 which had kind of a sloppy fit, basically the body was too baggy but the arms were perfect length. so i sized down to a 42 (pictured) and now i feel like the body is good but the arms are too short?

>>18371497
Are those warm (if they're unlined)?

>>18371853
You don't want an unlined one

>>18371841
>Because you're too insecure and it shows.

Not the guy you're replying to but the only guy I ever saw look good in a leather jacket was handsome.
If you're not handsome I think the only way you'd make it work is you fit an archetype.
eg. A big fat ugly biker would look normal in one even though he's not handsome.

I don't believe confidence is the difference.

got this vintage civillian repro of a a2 jacket

black jackets are for retards

>>18371914
Brown jackets are for boomers

What's the best leather for a suede jacket?
Would goat skin work for an unlined leather jacket? How is the leather feel on bare skin anyways (if I wear a t-shirt underneath)?

>>18371797
it is not but this is>>18371914

>>18371917
Why are you so obsessed with it being unlined?
>How is the leather feel on bare skin anyways
Cold

>>18371929
I'm not obsessed? The jacket I am eying is unlined

>>18371933
post the jacket you're looking at

>>18371933
Post it

>>18371917
unlined suede is comfy, but you want a modicum of lining in the shoulder. wrestling yourself out of suede dampend with sweat isn't attractive.

Just ordered

>>18371958
I really hope you're kidding

>>18371958
kino

>>18371852
Sounds like you need a 43 blud

>>18371852
The sleeves are definitely too short. The 141 is supposed to have that classic wider fit. If you wanted a more slim fit the 530 would have probably been a better option (that's what I have and love it)
Also, it's important to remember that the leather needs to break in and soften up and it will drape and hang better as a result and a lot of that boxiness goes away

>>18371708
Car coats, breakman coats, blazers, truckers, lots of options out there man.

>>18371959
why would i be

>>18371914
>black jackets are for retards
Objectively correct opinion.

>>18371958
beast mode

>>18371998
Bro going ostrich mode over here.

Have
>Schott 641 HH
>Schott 641 steerhide
>Vanson C2
>John Varvatos hook and bar suede blazer
Only things I kind of want are an A2 and a B3. Wouldn't likely ever get the latter as it's never cold enough where I live.

>>18371958
goes hard

>>18372101
>Schott 641 HH
>Schott 641 steerhide
which one do you like more?

>>18372106
not that anon but i have a 641HH myself, and i wish id opted for the steerhide one. the horsehide is super shiney (i just personally dont like it) and stiff, like its just not very comfortable. i guess maybe if you dedicated a lot of time to it wore it every day, it might have some cool patina after 10 yrs or something, but who gives a shit if its heavy, stiff and not comfortable and you dont want to reach for it? just fuck this jacket.

>>18372106
The horse looks nicer as an object, and wears like armor, but the steer is so much more comfortable to wear it's kinda ridiculous.

Personally I prefer my Vanson to both, but when I do reach for a 641 I find myself going for the steer.

>>18371497
Im too fat for the leather jacket I want. Tips?

>>18372128
size up or lose weight
no other options

>>18371497
I have a Schott 555 I got about a year ago and love it. It’s super heavy and thick which makes it really warm and with the waxy pull-up finish it’s pretty weather resistant. I think nowadays an overstyled leather jacket looks too whack. Something simple like a 555 or any other normal length normal fit style jacket avoids looking larpy

Does he have a single good fit?

>>18372158
I was looking at that one and like it.
I think my dream jacket style, and I don't want to seem LARPy, is the Indiana Jones jacket. It's basically a modified A2 with the knitting removed and the body and sleeves lengthened to make up for it
Such a classic design. But I don't want to seem to Indiana Jonesey though

>>18372342
I got an Aero teamster for those exact reasons. It's different enough that it doesn't scream Indiana Jones larp, but still has the vibe.

>>18371998
Humiliation ritual

anyone have experience with the jaket maker?

sheepskin jackets for ~300 bucks

>>18372413
you existing is a humiliation ritual

>>18371998
what do you do when you try to stand up without a walker and your legs snap in half?

I'm convinced it's impossible to make a leather jacket look good unless you're being photographed for a propaganda piece

>>18372819
just be a man not a pussy or fat and you will look good

>>18372644
doesn't happen in these shoes thankfully

>>18372819
It's actually the opposite. It's incredibly hard to make a leather jacket look bad

>>18371504
I have one of these (not Schott) and let me tell you it's cringe. I got mine at a bargain for $400, it fits me perfectly but it feels so try hard to be wearing it.

It screams "i learnt about fashion yesterday and have money to waste".

It WAS cool but not anymore I'm afraid. Even the fuckin pawn shop i pawned it at for a week really didn't wanna take it. Gave me $30, the leather would be worth more scraped.

>>18371958
As bad as this is, it's probably the only leather jacket that looks cool today for anyone under 40

>>18372139
This is nice for age 40 plus

>>18372411
Absolute beautiful jacket but would be hard to look good on anyone under 40.

>>18372555
I was looking at this website too. Seems to good to be true. I have a feeling it's cheap quality from slave sweat shops though. Owner is a paki.

>>18372819
Completely correct.

>>18372953
No offense but you just sound like a whiny bitch

>>18372873
lol
no

>>18372953
You're out of touch, 90s style leather jackets are the most popular elevated jacket for people in their 20s.

>>18371914
A2s don't look like that.
It's a mall jacket.

>>18372582
Ok, Mr. Ostrich

>>18372956
Let me guess, you spent way to much on a leather jacket that deep down you know looks cringe?

Been there, done that.

>>18373018
You sound so sure of your self, why?

>>18373019
So you DID spend way to much on a cringe jacket.

>>18373021
Retard

>>18373022
how much did you spend?

Listen, the jacket doesn't look as good as you think it does. People just haven't got that leather jacket build these days. Looks try hard.

>>18373026
That sounds like a you problem.

>the /fa/ggot troll has decided to give this thread a go
I think I'm finally too old for 4chan

>>18373018
On the contrary, I absolutely love mine. I pretty much wear it everywhere when the weather is good for it

Do you put any pins or patches on your jacket? I thought about having a small pin on the collar or something but I don't know what to put.

>>18373079
my grandfather had a vasectomy pin on his leather jacket for some reason

he was 75 years old and had never had a vasectomy. I don't think he even knew what the word meant because he didn't speak English

>>18373079
Just when i thought leather jackets couldn't get anymore try hard and cringe you come along. WOWZERS

i was given a leather jacket late last year, but it makes me look really bad, i make an effort to be kind. every. day. , but when i saw myself wearing it, i knew things were gonna start hqppening.. wild things.
can clothes really affect behaviour?

>>18373213
if you want them to then yes

test

People hear "leather jacket" and immediately think of Perfecto style jackets while forgetting there are countless other styles out there

>>18373100
I guarantee that guy pulls it off

>>18373239
Same with leather coats and The Matrix.

>>18373305
>>18373239
For me, I immediately picture Indiana Jones

Say what you want, but I think this shit looks so cool
