I've got a brown suede one that frequently gets compliments, and does not make me look like a gangster, but then, I live in farm country and wear it with jeans, boots, and an appropriately casual shirt.

Yeah, my dad has a nice brown suede one, but then again it makes him look pretty classy. Mind you he has a handlebar moustache and two sleeves of tattoos.

Where did I come from?

It'd probably have to be a $6K Gucci leather blazer to look even remotely fashionable and then you'd be treading in a whole other area of douchedom.

I say cool if you wear it like a leather jacket... as in no tie, and no plans to wear it once you go inside.
