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

    Got a kangaroo leather cafe racer custom made by a local machinist in Melbourne. Always wanted to get one made of kangaroo leather, because it's a native animal, pretty exotic and apparently 4x stronger than cowhide with very good abrasion resistance. Very happy with this unique purchase...

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

    One thing you won't find out there is the divide between fashion and motorcycle jackets. MC Jackets have much longer sleeves (to the knuckles, so it draws back to the wrists when they reach forward), baggy upper sleeves, and most importantly, they use much thicker, much more durable leather...

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

    I think that's the safest look to look well with a DR and shows off everything that's unique about it. It's old fashioned, but you won't hear any opposition to that look beyond that. Ramones look great in their tight DRs, but if you imagine them in tight cafe racers, they will achieve the same...

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

    When I think of a person that is good looking in a DR, I think of Marlon Brando in the wild one, and he is definitely not skinny in that one. He has a massive chest, broad shoulders and very athletic build, no skinny jeans. The way he wears it is not the overly tight style of DR today, but looks...

    Anyone here own both a schott 618 and a 641? I'm thinking of getting one 2 sizes down from my perfecto (Perfecto size 40, looking at size 36 641HH) My chest size is 40", 32" waist, 5'8" athletic build. My perfecto 618 (sz.40) is 21" pit to pit, 18' shoulders. The 641HH (sz. 36) I'm looking at...

    Hey mate, just checked out your site, and I'm loving it. Only thing is that it took me way too many clicks to find out that your jackets are made of lamb skin, I think it should be a bit more upfront, and I think fashionistas will appreciate it for its buttery softness. Just wondering if you...

    I strongly recommend falcon garments. They don't have a straight zip double rider, but there are m2m options for all their garments, and will definitely be a far better fit than SLP. If you want a straight zip, I strongly recommend the M1 cafe racer style, which looks best snug and fitted. It's...

    The 50 isn't even that good looking for him. If you look at this body overall, it squeezes his shoulders in and makes him look pear shaped rather than accentuating the wide shoulders he has. Looks nicer on his waist, but that's about it. Also, it's a 5k jacket, and he's 30. He's literally 2-3...

    52 definitely. No point buying something which looks marginally cooler but you'll never wear because it's too tight. To me, both look similar, with the 50 looking marginally better. That's the thing if a straight zip, the tighter it is, the better it'll look. Also, it's calfskin, and recently...

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

    I'm in the market for a cafe racer. I want a simple slim fit one, large taper (I have an athletic build, 40" chest, 33" waist and broad shoulders), full grain leather jacket. The schott 141 was my ideal choice but the upper arms are absolutely massive, being an actual riding jacket. Any other...

    Cheers for the speedy feedback mate. It's great to hear something with specific feedback. The issue is that my chest and shoulders are too wide, and waist too small. If I size down, I think it won't be great for my shoulders. Any suggestions?

    Just got a 2nd hand perfecto off ebay. Wanted some honest feedback. I'm 5'8", 150lbs, 40" chest, atheletic build, with a 33" waist. I want a really fitted look. Gallery here: https://imgur.com/a/SgFbD
