If you order or buy one let me know how they fit; I'll grab one next year. You can play m.a+ sizing roulette. :) The piece is stunning... 1st leather in a awhile that is really grabbing my attention.

It's a shame it's the nicest m.a+ leather this season. Bison avi @ Darklands is mean too.

The jacket is actually baby calf, the liner is llama wool

Also, don't buy MA+ without trying it on, sizing is frustrating beyond belief. ..

Hey guys, what kind of leather jacket should I get if I'm not interested in looking like I'm in the midst of a mid-life crisis? I have an A2 bomber, but find that it's not really my style. I don't care for the ribbed hem and cuffs much.

I assume you don't want something that a 20 year old would wear but also something that doesn't look like a dad jacket. I'd say go with a slimmer fitting jacket (no necessarily slim fit, just not boxy) but not something like rick owens. I'd say move towards something like Aero, Vanson, TOJ (6+ months wait so try used) more options for reputable brands here http://www.styleforum.net/t/71625/l...-the-best-youve-seen-owned/11745#post_7308284.

I think you need to go try on a few things and see what looks best and then maybe see what one of the brands i mentioned can do for you.

Thanks a lot, man. I'll look into some of these.


NP, hit up some regular mall brands to see which style you like, i know all of those places stock riders and motos. Then once you like the style you can get something more quality.

What city are you in, you may have some places that stock the above mentioned brands.
