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

Re: FCL Harris, I've tried it on, and it is VERY long. Like, longer than the Leon. Just FYI. I like a little length, but that gave me too much.

We just went live with our latest Simmons Bilt jacket - it's made from a phenomenally good Japanese horsehide that breaks in crazy fast. It's tea-core, and the top-coating will break down pretty quickly for a worn-in vintage vibes.

I'm disappointed the tennis ball didn't make it to the product page.

Tell Gen he did a fantastic job, this jacket is a banger.

Will do, thank you!

I can't find the DM or message about this, but someone was asking about RMC J100 fit.

I'm a 44" chest, 17.5" shoulder, 36" waist, and the 44 is an exact fit. Not a lot of room for tennis balls in here, but this is the size I'd walk out of here with for this jacket.

@StrangeJeremy how much sleeve length will you likely lose with wear on the Buco J-100 (sleeves creasing up, etc.)?

You look so unhappy in that jacket??

Maybe an inch or two? I have monkey arms tho.

I do not have a good selfie face.

Agreed on bombers. i actually never owned a double rider. i can appreciate their bad-assery, but i just feel like a poseur when i try one on. and i kinda find cafe racers uninspiring. point being... my leathers are A2 and G1 - or variants of the two. and one johnson leathers type 3 trucker.

i'm of the mindset that the G1 is just the "perfect leather jacket". i love them.

Hey, I support people looking good and bucking trends at any age. But if my dad was looking to invest in a jacket, which he never ever would, I'd steer him in the direction of a bomber which already has the gut space built into the silhouette and looks better on most old dudes. Though the beauty of his budget is that he gets every single style in one. His current jacket is a cafe racer with elastic hem and sleeves, hood, drawstring and random stiches galore. All for under $100.

I think they look really cook with black jeans and over a white t-shirt, but in general I’d rather have something with a collar, buttoned cuffs, less chest pockets, and shorter. So like, a 30’s style sport jacket like this:

I'd prefer fewer zippers, but I really like that otherwise.

That's what I'm saying. Hence, the Fine Creek Raymond.

That's what I'm saying. Hence, the Fine Creek Raymond. What brand is that you posted?

Freewheelers Mulholland

 

[XWT]

I like the Raymond a lot but the Freewheelers Mulholland is bae. I have a RMC Mobster but it’s too small and I’m gonna sell it soon ish.

That jacket is unfortunately too short in the sleeves & body by about an inch.
