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

Any fit pointers? When it was new I thought the shoulders were a tad big, but now it settled onto me it seems to fit fine

Honestly i think the jacket fits fine and looks good on you. The sleeves are long but thats the look. The nitpick is i think zam stuff is sort of an all in kind of thing. And most certainly wont work with more cm type of stuff. Id try some slim jeans with a stacked hem and a tee

Found one of my grails for a good price - Burberry Prorsum SS11 biker jacket - and considering this jacket is now listing for $6K I decided to bite the bullet even though I'm normally a 50 and it was a 46. So of course it is too small.

I'm curious what size you guys think I should try and look for instead. My thought is going up two sizes to a 50. Hopefully the arms will be a little thicker, but I know these babies run tight. Anyways love the jacket itself, it just looks amazing in the materials and construction. Super bummed it's too small.

Seems like 2 sizes up to a 50 should be fine - can you exchange? Or are you just going to try to hunt another one down

Nah this bad boy is an archive piece at this point, I actually haven't even found any 50s for sale so fingers crossed I can track one down.

very happy with my fine creek edward, purchased from local second hand market for around $600
maybe a tad smaller on me but i think that's fine as i'm about to lose 5 to 8kg body weight by the time i'll actually wear it.

Dude why on earth are you looking to lose 5-8KG of weight, you should be aiming to replace any excess fat with muscle and keep a similar build.

My Aero Bronco A2 HH in seal brown came today. Ordered it thru Bison Trading in Canada. The jacket is amazing!

I’m assuming he’s just before a cut phase.

People who want to lose weight rarely set a weird amount like that, and he doesn’t seem like he needs to lose a ton.

Do you think that black leather trench coats with classic details like epaulets, belts and rear shoulder flaps are out of bounds for middle-aged white American guys due to their Nazi associations? That seemed to be the consensus a decade ago, but I'm interested in whether that's changed. I'm interested in one from a well-respected defunct fashion brand known for its trench coats, but it's expensive and I don't want to regret it.

Yes it's out of bounds.

Make sure your face doesn't melt.

I just can't imagine leather trench coats ever looking cool again after columbine. Even the more benign matrix comparison is pretty lame. Frankly I think trench coats just look much nicer in gabardine, twills and tweed. Leather only works if it's like that 70's style belted sleezy eastwest musical instruments vibe.
