I think that it's well past that point and essentially the basic *****/basic bro uniform is DR+Chelseas + slouchy tee + slim distressed jeans.

Is this a Cali thing? I don’t see many leather jackets in Washington, D.C.

@lordsuperb while I respect everyone else's right to get all exercised about this since you asked for opinions, I gotta say I am not exercised by the sleeve length. Could be longer? Sure. You seem pretty happy with it, though, and you're wearing it. Also, jacket looks fine on your build.

Is this the case if the double rider is bright yellow? Asking for a friend.

'Treasure Island' jacket from A Kind Of Guise, you'd have to be brave

Oh it looks wine/burgundy to me. A very versatile, not so unusual color IMO. Black one isn't as attractive

that could be a really badass Jacket but the proportions and collar are all wrong

the shoulders need to be more narrow, the collar needs to be replaced by a moto type collar and that ugly dangling zipper be replaced with something more sleek.
that what the pockets become the main feature of the Jacket.............I like it, the simplicity of it, but it need subtle improvements

Your friend is either looking fly, or he looks like he is going to direct traffic. It's hard to say without pics.

no, this is just stupidly short. this isn't a suit jacket where you want your sleeve cuff to be visible.

you also don't see many leathers in dc because people can't dress for **** there

I haven't been to any city in the US where I was impressed with the dress as a whole......

based on how you dress, i'm inclined to attribute this to dunning-kruger effect more than anything else.
