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

[verver]

Traditional African and Middle Eastern fabrics might also be good for this sort of project. I've thought about lining field jackets with African indigo or mud cloth.

Alright, some better pictures:

Should be fine once it breaks in more. Once the quarantine is over, you'll forget that you ever wore a suit every day.

The Nine Lives jacket does look like it might be a size too big.

There's a member on here who posted a photo of himself wearing that jacket. I can't remember who it was, but the post is in this thread. I thought the fit looked really good, but now I can't find the image. If you can find it (maybe by searching for "Nine Lives" in this thread), you may be able to gauge the intended silhouette.

Yup, a size too big.

Ugh, fine, fine. No use forcing it I guess. Willing to let it go for a song if anyone is interested (i.e., less than my signature).

Newc, how tall are you?

 

[Newcomer]

5'11". May run into the curse of the short torso.

@Newcomer idk wtf anyone is talking about that jacket fits you spot on, looks like it fits like a RO stooges which is a longer jacket.

Are your pants worn at the waist or higher? That might make it look like its long in the torso.

Maybe I should order a Large and, thereafter, take some side shots.

imo the fit is good. i think part of the effect might be the offset zip without the typical bunch of applied pockets to provide relief. so, the jacket might come off a little bit broad but i think it looks good!

@Newcomer, I agree with @sinnedk , I think the fit looks good. You said you were a bit hippy, so I think the size down would look too tight in that area. Think it will drape well once broken in. Again, I’m not a fan of tight tight leather jackets, so take that into consideration.
just keep it as a source of joy in these apocalyptic times.

Seems a bit too full on the chest. I'm assuming your shoulders are a bit sloped and not that you're standing slouched?

Another vote for slightly too big.
