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

No, it’s sheep’s wool. Never heard of Jason and the Golden Fleece ?

Yeah, sheep's wool is called fleece, but it's not a fabric. The fabric called fleece (meant to imitate the look of sheep's fleece) is synthetic/plastic. Shearling would be all natural and contain the sheep's fleece, but no one would call that a fleece.

Ok, who's got the balls to rock this? Lewis Leathers up in dis *****. I dig it, but could never wear it (ok, maybe once).

Maybe if it didn't have that ugly logo patch.

also, any tennis ball would blend in; how would you know how many you could fit in there?

Isn’t all fleece by definition plastic?

There are a number of makers who actually make wool fleece jackets, including American Trench and Real McCoys.

Wow, that's just all kinds of bad. First thing that sprung to mind was that Jim Carey movie from the 90s

Interesting; though they're clearly modeled after the original plastic ones. Even American Trench says:

Okay – we'll be honest – it's not 100% wool. That would be impossible. Impractical. Not a good move. The front, the fuzzy bit, is pure 62-grade merino wool. But the backing - that’s polyester. And it should be – actually, needs to be. Otherwise, as Yates and Achebe say, “things fall apart.”

Real McCoys uses a cotton lining.

I think Patagonia actually has a wool fleece for the Japanese market. Americans like petroleum, synthetics, and destroying the planet more than almost everyone, so why sell it here.

Yeah, just Americans 🙄

I'd bet $100 those wool fleece's sold in Japan get wrapped in 3 layers of plastic.

Really wonder how that leather feels. I've handled multiple Blackmeans leathers over the years and they were all very different. I still have one that's made of incredibly thick cow and another one they did for Mr Porter in sheep that feels like wearing the worlds thinnest rock. You really don't know what you're gonna get with them until you actually feel it but it's all great stuff.

So remember that leather DR that Ryan Gosling wore a few years back and was all the rage ever after? People would come on here and ask about it every few months? This one?

Well, here you go. Someone listed one on Grailed and Ebay for a great price and no one's biting because the seller thinks it's a woman's jacket and listed it as so. Plus, his measurements are way off. I messaged him to remeasure.

What's everyone's thoughts on this J Peterman jacket? Looking for something like the Todd Snyder Dylan jacket but more on a budget, it's being offered for $125

I tried reconditioning my grandfather's leather bomber that he wore in the Pacific during world war 2, I guess with some success. I've never done something like this before. Hopefully there's some life left in it.

Thoughts on the fit of this? Lewis leathers tight fit x cdg jacket. I’m about 10 lbs over my normal weight right now as well.
