Help blackplatano pick a new jacket

[blackplatano]

i need a new cloth jacket for fall. I was set on the B-10 below, but after ordering a G-1 I'm having second thoughts. For those that don't know, the G-1 is basically the leather version of the B-10. Now I'm think I should get a L-2.

Right now these are my top choices.

Not a fan of the first two, I like the third one better.

I like the second one:

On further inspection the first and second look very similar.

not a fan of the short length + baggy arms combination.

It's deceiving because in the 2nd one, he wears it unzipped in the front view, which totally alters the sillhouette. I don't like lining on the 3rd at all...so if I had to choose between 1 and 2 I'd go with 1. -- What's your price range? Do you want something neutral? I have no idea if this fits slim or anything, but always thought it could be pulled off very well: http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/w...65&prodid=1983

I don't like any of them, but I can't tell if its the jacket that i don't like or the fact it is on that guy.

I know...The models suck.


This is the same L-2 jacket in black.

+1.

i'm considering now ordering the 3rd one myself!

I think the second one looks best, but I'm not really a fan of the style.

 

[blackplatano]

If anybody could recommend any jacket of similar price and quality I'm all ears.

If you are actually in the U.S. Air Force, grab the third one. Otherwise, it looks foolish to me.

So i guess you don't wear sneakers unless you are playing a sport, or wear a western shirt unless you are a cowboy or a moto jacket unless you ride or boots unless you are a construction worker.

Although those are all foolish comparisons, they are all true in my case (except for sneakers, as I wear them to the gym and for playing football and basketball with friends). I'm not a cowboy, therefore I don't dress as if I am. I don't wear moto jackets either; I can't even ride a motorcycle. The bottom line is, I'd feel like a poser.

To me (and many others), wearing the seal or insignia of a military branch for fashion is disrespectful, and it cheapens the accomplishments and prestige of those who are in the service.
