My favorite from what I have is the greyish-dark navyish-black in the front row.

I picked up this cafe racer on eBay last year. It really has some of the richest patina I've ever seen on a leather jacket. And it goes to show that not all vintage, non-designer leathers have to fit like sacks. This thing is seriously slim.

Surely this type of slim fitted leather jacket isn't everyone's cup of tea. I feel like a sausage.

My dream leather jacket is the motorcycle one with the straps but I cannot justify $1200 on a jacket..

Picked up this little gem locally, the seller let me have it for $50. It's a Diesel Liiko. The leather is not as high quality as found in other jackets but the distressing on it looks really different and nice. IMO not too over the top as found in some other jackets. It probably fits a little big on me.

Today my heart is broken, I found out the Gaspard jacket made by Surface2Air is officially out of stock in Small. I was actually going to spend $1200 on a jacket, perhaps it is meant to be ?! http://www.surfacetoair.com/project/...00/p1331_1.jpg Gorgeous... and I will never own it. I should have bought it, I hate myself for not pulling the trigger when I had the chance.

^ It's a cool jacket but 1200 is some serious purchasing power and you should look around for Rick or MMM on sale if you're willing to drop that kind of coin.

It definitely is a lot, but I heard there were only 150 made or so. It is definitely a collector's item and you just don't understand... I NEED that jacket. Do you know of any that look that beautifully soft and form fitting? I am a fairly slender guy. 5'8".. 125lb.. it would have fit perfect I just know it. The inside of the pockets were orange when open, I mean... you don't get much cooler than that!!
