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

[Mulan]

That style was around last year, but this one looks a lot slimmer than the one I posted here, and the one currently up on Atelier's site.

Be careful with sleeve measurements on that piece, as it is very long the last time I checked.

so there is 3 MMM 5 zip jackets on spence, which is the 5zip to have? Does padded mean it has thicker lining?

 

[nyarkies]

Seems all 3 are lamb/sheep leather. The other padded one has gold zips with red outlines.

Looks like the size 50 in the style I wanted is old out I guess my search continues...

 

[dieworkwear]

Black lamb ones can be regularly found for like $1000-1250 ish. Either end-of-season sales or on eBay.

I am pretty sure that black one with silver hardware is in calf. It looks like the same version as I have.

Why are lamb 5 zips looked upon so poorly?

 

[cyc wid it]

No idea, no complaints with mine. And it's one of the "less desirable" coated versions. I've also owned calf ones, YMMV.

 

[hoodog]

I am not sure they are...

I don't think they are. I've owned both calf and lambskin versions and prefer the lamb. I find the softer material gives the jacket a rounder, more casual shoulder line, whereas calf can be kind of boxy.

I think lamb is more practical in general for jackets unless you actually ride in them.

Definitely depends on the look you want, for a more rugged look you wouldnt want lamb

whats nice about this thread is that no matter what at the end of the day we always end up talking about 5 zips

Ugly jacket from new poster -> RO -> some random controversy -> SLP -> 5-zip -> repeat

How often do you guys wear your leather during the spring and summer in the Bay Area? And when do you generally throughout the year?

This was purchased this season.
