Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

otter those jackets look way better after the wash, especially the brown.

Definitely agree, the brown looks much nicer.

perhaps slightly weird question, but anyone got any pics of people wearing blue leathers (navy and duller blues)

is that with blue denim? can't quite tell wether it's bl;ue or black in the photo. Do you find taht combination works fine?

 

[artishard116]

Yeah blue. It doesn't bother me, I just try to throw a light colored shirt in to break it up.

here a pics of the jacket after i submerged it in warm water for 20 minutes, then threw it in the washing machine for a spin dry cycle for a couple of minutes, then hung it out to dry in the backyard, then wore it while damp to mold to body

results are that it has lost its sheen, and imo looks and fits better

Just curious, but what's the point here? I've never heard of anybody soaking and washing leather like that. Is this some sort of bootleg STF action you've got going on here?

i just find that it gets rid of that sheen, slightly waxy look that new leathers seem to have, that includes some non distressed leathers from RO/julius.

i purposely get my jackets made to fit a little snug at first, as i know they are going to stretch

washing it , then wearing it while damp just allows the jacket to mold to my body

he looks so old

where is your toj jacket?



artishard116, nice fit, i just imagine that color wouldnt be so versatile

 

[DLester]



he looks so old

Yes he looks quite bad and ancient there. He is not actually that elderly. Wiki says 47 y/o. He has a few more years to live.

as mr. toj said, it is rising like a snakeskin monster from the TOJ lab

 

[artishard116]

thanks, the color was actually about half the reason I got it. works with everything, white, black, gray, indigo, etc.
