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

[tman87]

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

pretty disappointed in the fit of this Aero Cafe Racer... got it for $760 from their stock options, but the shoulders are bigger than listed, it wrinkles funny up top, and the biceps are kinda huge. Don't love the soft italian leather-has a few small defects and seems fragile. Size 36

Yeah saw that too, it's not bad at all. There's a huge shearling coat on the site too, though final sale is an awfully big plunge to take.

Yes, but shearling rules.

That's not the right jacket for you. Sorry man.

But your subway tile is really nice.

@tman87

Can you take the photos at the chest level?

It might be the subzero temps talking, but shearling is seriously the greatest and always I wish I could have more if it.

Hello together,

I just entered this forum 2 days ago and than i found this thread. I love leather Jackets , because you can wear them nearly to all of your outfits, they are timeless and they can make you look very elegant.

i bought both jackets from clothsurgeon (https://www.instagram.com/clothsurgeon/?hl=de) and i payed for each jacket about 1000 Euro

I bought the biker jacket 4 Years ago, I had to wait 20 days for it, because it was specially made for me. The quality is so nice , you have a detachable fur collar (for the winter) and it feels just amazing, every time when i am wearing the jacket.

The other one is a shearling jacket and the quality is amazing too. That jacket is so ******* warm, more warm than a woolrich arctic parka. You won't ever feel cold in that jacket.

I never bought a leather jacket from Valentino, Givenchy or Saint Laurent and I never will, because I think they cant beat This small Brand from UK in Design, Quality and Price ( if I

am wrong just tell me)

Correct and thanks. I got it on preorder through NMWA and never saw it stocked anywhere.

 

[Kaplan]

Thank you.

If anybody see it available somewhere, please share

heres a less robo pose. wish the shoulders were .5 inches bigger

With the jacket open it looks really ok i.m.o., closed looks pretty tight..

You're damn right, and the other guy too, shearling rules indeed! Got three of 'em so far and allways open to get an other one, just love to wear those things with just a t-shirt underneath..

But first upcomming buy this year will be in februari. A Schott perfecto. Gonna go get it in Paris, in a Schott store, but i think they don't have the same expanded collection as Schott nyc.. not sure. DOES ANYBODY KNOW? And also, horshide or steerhide..pro's and con's? Thx ahead

The shoulders are less a problem here than the length of the body and sleeve, which are both too short.

If you like the fit through the chest on the cafe racer, try the Board Racer in a size 38 with a little more length than the cafe racer you are wearing. Board generally fits a size small than cafe, but the shoulders will be narrower.

How do the owners of the 3sixteen x Schott oiled roughout Perfecto feel about it after owning it for some time? I’m considering picking it up on the secondary market.

@#dadcore how would you describe Todd Snyder sizing? Did you go TTS on the Todd Snyder you own, and, if so, was it the right move? I like the look of that grey shearling a lot but I’m nervous about final sale and frustrated by the dearth of sizing info on their website.

 

[#dadcore]

I don’t own that jacket but in my experience with other clothes from Todd Snyder they all fit pretty true to size in a mildly slim manner fairly standard to modern mainstream clothes. Size up if you want a little more room.
