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

[somatoform]

I've dabbled with the thought of getting Johnson to make me a monotone version of the varsity they did for Junya:

^Fck guys. You guys are going to make me get a Varsity when it wasn't even on my radar?!?!?

 

[rnguy001]

this one from R&H is pretty nice..

Levon Helm looks very cool in his varsity.

By the way, does anyone else get Bradley Cooper in ‘A Star is Born’ vibes from Helm? I wouldn’t be surprised if Cooper derived some inspiration from him.

I like the Engineered Garments x Golden Bear collaborations from several seasons ago, such as:

these are really the best leather jackets you guys have seen?

That coat is amazing. Maybe the only coat I have seen that looks better when worn open.

It looks great in the staged pics, but the reality is there is too much cloth in his constructions, when you put them on they seem too much. Open this is so floppy it becomes difficult to wear. I tried a similar coat from the a/w 2018 collection. Super luxury, of course, but a bit too much.

My next jacket, which I'm going to get in time for next winter is going to be a MTM Douglas jacket from Cromford Leather Co. https://www.cromfordleather.co.uk/mens/douglas/

It's supposedly a beast - a fullgrain sheepskin shearling bonded to 1/1 mm cowhide, and weighing in at 4-5 kg, so 8.8-11 lbs. I'm going to do it in black cowhide with a grey, snow tipped, shearling, which will just mesh with the rest of my wardrobe a lot easier. The only change I am debating is having just the one arm tighterer than 2. That said, it caught my eye as is, so I'm not sure that I'd be shooting myself in the foot by simplifying it that way.

Hmmm... the thing that I really like about it is that it's shearling bonded to cowhidem which has way more toughness and longevity, not to mention lustre, than just a straight up sheepskin shearling, and I like that it's actually MTM, but I'll ask Greg and Kyle what's up.

This is definitely next level nutso. I like it.

Think the Grose is a good looking take on a shearling RAF jacket. Looked very nice but I don’t think it’s really comparable.

 

[Callusing]

That'll do.

Cromford makes a lot of nice leathers, though it seems like their shearling is their signature. Division Road did a pretty cool limited take on their Kietel (sp?), though it looks like they've had a hard time selling it through:

Yea they have a hard time at 3,300GBP
