That's how they show it, though olive fatigues might be nice?

Looking at a few options for leathers. Would wear with black sweats a la cos, denim, etc. Top contender is the RO rotterdam in blac on ssense, but also looking at ZB (especially that purple leather). Other options are the addict leather route or the RO worker jacket

In keeping with the idea behind the title of this thread, here is the best leather jacket I own and possibly the best I've seen: CCP Scarstitch (CORS-PTC Color 10). Had been on the fence about buying this for years because of the price, but finally decided to go for it last spring. To me it's the perfect version of this kind of jacket... thick smooth leather, slim cut with long sleeves for my monkey arms, and details like articulated elbows and zipper pockets that make it more comfortable and functional.

Styled here with AA, N&F, no-name GATs and a stroller for optimal brand synergy.

Of course, this means that you have the just eschew any resale value.

Based on my latest resale experiences, I suggest that people just forget about resale. I am about to drive my for-sale stuff to the goodwill or dump, so I don't have to deal with these knuckle-dragging morons anymore. I can't believe how much effort people put into being impossible to work with.

Bro I just want to know the exact pitch of the zipper clasps. Be reasonable

Thought I'd ask here; anyone know of good options for buying a double rider from Undercover, used preferably? I'm looking for one in size 3 or 4. Grailed is a little bare, and rakuten is all sizes 1's and 2's. I guess I can just be patient because it's really warming up where I live and wouldn't really be able to wear one til after the summer anyway

This was my dream jacket, and I was so glad that I got it. I probably wear it less than I ought to, but it sparks joy to just own it.

Still the one. Nice to see it styled with non black items. Need to change the name of this thread to the official bankruptcy appreciation thread

I might be skinny enough for a scar stitch. Chest is down to 41 in from 43-44

A little off topic, but how much import duties would I pay on a $2,000 leather jacket shipped from UK to US?

Not sure how it works in the US but worth bearing in mind that U.K. listed prices include 20% VAT which you shouldn’t be charged if shipping outside the EU

That’s all foreign to me, LOL! I’m looking at buying it from a private seller and he asked if I have any specific requests regarding customs declarations.
