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

Gustin jacket looks great. Disagree with the comments about the back. Not everything needs darting/skin cling contours

an alternative to that Gustin from Aero, but clearly more cost of acquisition

ok that Aero looks miles better than the gustin the back panel allows for a tighter fit.

I like this one a lot. I wish Aero did two-way zips (same goes for Gustin). Would be awesome in a tea-core leather (or whatever you call the black-over-brown dye).

Their blackened-brown Vicenza? I've got a modified board racer in that leather on order. I'll make sure to post it here when it arrives.

Good choice

Going to make any modifications to it or keep it stock? Can't go wrong either way.

Good Find! Yes, I thought my Schott 530 would scratch my leather jacket itch for something in light/medium brown....but alas, it has not.

What is most interesting heretofore is that we all essentially agree that Aero is the standard sartorial expression of a gentleman's leather jacket!

 

[Benesyed]

Still like the Gustin

i mean from the pics i have of it (https://imgur.com/a/OMUos not mine) the jacket will have slanted chest pockets, tartan light wool lining, dark seal vicenza leather, bronze/gold zip pulls, i'll probably extend length of arms and body a bit depending on the fit of the jacket. the only thing that annoys me is its not a 2 way zip but i rarely sit with a zipped up jacket anyways...

Man I don't like buttons on leather jackets!! Give me zippers and buckles!!!

ime 2-way zippers can catch when unzipping if the bottom zip gets out-of-place. at least i know that i've had to take a moment to 'correct' the bottom pull prior to completing the unzipping process. i think it's really funny that it's become a thing in here. particularly for shorter blouson-type jackets (aviators, eisenhower, etc) i'd much rather have the one-way deal and i don't see the 2-way as particularly elegant. my unsolicited $.02.

From my experience, I agree that one way is better for everyone. 2-way can be a pain if you’re in a rush or forcefully handle it. But it could be some guys’ joy to fool around while idling, just like a flip phone. Anybody still has one like me

Sometimes those Aeros can look good in an Inspiration LA kind of way, but sometimes ... they look a bit fuddy duddy and middle aged.
