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

1950s LVC suede trucker I found recently. Anyone know what year this released (lvc version not original)
Edit: looks like 2015

i honestly can't tell if you're joking, but i don't presume to be too good to join anything. I'm trying to limit my time spent on other forums cause I have poor time management already. Half my time is literally spent digging up eBay auctions for PTO readers, so people can enjoy good things for a lot less money. I spend hours doing that every week. Give me a ******* break about mocking people because of their budgets.

funny story: a cardigan i was selling got listed in the PTO thread a few years ago (I think an RRL shawl cardi?) and I got a bunch of bids and was excited, then the winner filed a fake paypal claim and i was forced to take a return and eat some shipping charges for a nonexisting stain since i don't take size returns

I'll give you $250 for it.

Thanks! I'm gonna be buzzed on this find for a while. My birthday's next week, so it feels like the universe gave me an early present.

I'd probably take it a little shorter in the body (the body extended past the zipper on the Kensington makes it longer in the front), a touch longer and looser in the sleeve at the forearm with something to protect my watch from that zipper, but I'm really nitpicking like an asshole tbh on a jacket that was basically free.

Never look a gift horsehide in the mouth.

Quick/dirty fit pic as soon as I got home:

That is so crazy. The Kensington is based on the J100 IIRC. My RMC/Buco J100 fits the same in terms of length. I sent it to Johnson to take off about 2". I prefer the slightly shorter length.

Himel uses Shinki like RMC. The hide is really something. I'm flabbergasted at that find.

So well done!!! Congrats!

hi guys, what is the loop near the cuff for?

it is a flat head leather shirt

 

[Nader393]

It's where you attach your mittens so you don't lose them.

Howdy. I just received a FCL Tylor i preordered Self Edge in size 42. It seems I’m in between a 40 and 42 so I’m going to let this go. Let me know if you’re interested. I’m willing to let it go on steep SF discount before I post it elsewhere. Thanks!

Pics of said LVC 50's suede trucker. The fit is pretty spot on and the suede is super supple and unlined which will be great for warmer months. The only gripe is how wide the collar lays but overall this ended up being a good find

Well this is definitely the nicest leather jacket I've seen in person. Schott 641 horsehide. Thoughts on fit?

Is it comfortable? Looks real tight in the chest and shoulders.

 

[sinnedk]

move camera angle to be more straight

 

[dieworkwear]

that tan lvc trucker looks great.

imo, black cafe racer could be a little small. if you can try the next size up, i would see how that looks.

Do you really stand like that? How does it feel to you?

Beautiful jacket, but too small on you.
