Did not think there was a thread for this so I thought it might be a good idea. Hopefully some of you can post some pics of your favorite leather jackets and info (Type and Manufacturer). Of course there is a selfish motivation behind this (I need some inspiration for a leather jacket). I figured now that there is a Samurai thread here there is definitely room for this.

Brilliant jacket Moo and an excellent fit. Browsing through the website gave me some ideas for an A-2 I have been thinking about picking up for a while. Sorry Uncontrol I did not mean to be redundant, but just want to dedicate a thread to classic type jackets and how folks rock them with their daily attire. Hopefully others will get some pics up soon...I am sure many other members have these beauties in their closets.

Sleeves are way too short, man.

Sleeves should cover the base of your thumb on a leather jacket.

Looks like one man effed up.
