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

[Stillmaticbeat]



I gather this forum is not much into hooded leather jackets but I picked up one recently that I thought was pretty good, so here are some pics. It's from a japanese brand called Gene par Yukio Mishiba. It's made from deerskin, and is very soft. It has some distressing which looks a lot more extreme in the pics - the actual jacket looks much darker in real life so the distressing comes off a bit more subtle (see last two pics).
Stock pics:

And one pic of my own, showing it zipped all the way up. I think the silhouette when zipped is kinda cool.. collar is edgier than a standard jacket IMO but not as crazy as those jut-neck designs..

Gotten several compliments already on this jacket. And it was a (relative) bargain.. got it from the247.it for 362 euros + 50 euros shiping (ouch) = ~US$550. Their list price was 1207 euros. The construction quality seems pretty high, although it is made in Korea and the lining is poly, not cupro or silk.

looks fantastic

Which leather do you guys like better? These are for use on my motorcycle. While not the BEST looking jackets around, they are very thick horsehide and provide awesome protection. That is my main priority. Let me know which one you prefer. I ride a vintage cafe racer.

Looks Awesome! Is there a place to buy it online?

It was just announced. Price will be ¥126,000. PM me if you are interested in pre-ordering and I will provide a link when it is available. It will ship in August.

It's worth noting that the Toj moto is similar and much cheaper.

What's with the back of the collar buckle?

I believe it wraps around to close the collar.

Ah, thanks.

jrd, if I had to pick, the second for sure. Neither are great, both are rather ill fitting and unflattering. Burn the first

 

[brad-t]

people on SZ are saying this guy should size down. wtf

 

[reedobandito]

What a great leather, fits him perfectly. In Aisce?

Size down, lmfao. Really interesting texture.
