I'm new here, so sorry if a poll like this has been posted... just felt like seeing who wears one. And beyond that, what type, how often, etc. Just say what you will about leather jackets in general really.

I have a dark brown one that goes down to the top of my knees. I love it.

Black motorcycle jacket, black car coat, brown sport coat, black bomber jacket with fur collar. The black motorcycle jacket and brown sport coat used to be worn more often, the others not so much.

I like leather a lot, actually, but have a difficult time getting a good fit.

What I would love to get is a leather mackintosh or trench coat, preferably with a fur collar like this one Stephen Tennant has:

Black Vanson steerhide cafe jacket for riding
Brown Avirex goatskin G-1 flight jacket
and a brown Gap jean-jacket style that I've never actually worn out of the house. I should probably sell it - it's surprisingly nice.

I own 3: a Ferragamo car coat, a 3/4-length, shearling-lined coat, and a light weight "spring" jacket.

Four at the current time, although three are dedicated motorcycle jackets. I am between bikes right now but eventually I'll get another one.

Vanson Force
Vanson Force Perforated
Vanson Comet (custom: roll collar, no eyebrow pockets, hidden handwarmer pockets)

... and some generic mall leather jacket that looks like the Vanson Mercury.

All are in black.

Flight jacket here. Love to wear it, it's very comfortable to wear no matter what the weather. Plus you can turn the collar up to keep your neck warm.
