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

[Snoopy]

This thread has motivated me to pick up a leather jacket. I haven't owned one in years.

I'll be picking up a Schott Perfecto 618 in black.

With tornados?

This. Also, it doesn't really, and if you think that it does, then you have the same knowledge of female anatomy that I imagined that I did when I was in grade 4. So do yourself a favor and let it pass.

Remarkable non sequitur

Anyway, the phallic symbology of sky scrapers is pretty widely accepted

Are you now accepting that a box pleat DOES look like labia ? (As a cucumber looks like a penis)
But it doesn't bother you ?

Because that's not what you said

Bro, were you that kid who didn't understand why everybody teased them even though they were so obviously right, and later that kid who felt so misunderstood in college because no one could understand their very correct point, probably because you were an intellectual in a sea of basics?

I was trying to gently discourage @sinnedk from his constant harping on a point that people were getting tired of. I feel like he got the point, and he was going to take some mostly good natured ribbing and roll with it and that would be the end of that. But no, you have to take up a dumb cause and bring in whatever rudimentary logic you learned in philosophy 101 and have everyone mock you. Here is a hint that will serve you well for the rest of your life: when everyone is laughing at you, it's probably you.

So ummmm should I order a fine creek leon custom or not?

If it looks good on you, yes. Try it on in-store and trust your first instinct. It's the one that is most likely to be correct.

Why is this even being asked. Of course yes.

I could get it cheaper. About 1.3-1.4k USD. Options of lamb or calf what do u think?

Brand new? If it’s either the classic L01 or L17 in black (no distressing etc) I’d say go ahead. They look good, I like the fit (never tried on myself though) and SLP jackets have good resale value.

I’d get the calf one for durability, although some swear by lamb in these designer jackets.

They are cheaper in Greece. You might want to talk to @sartoriale about that. They know.

Thats great to hear as I have a Aero jacket arriving next week in natural horsehide and that is exactly the color I want to achieve.

Did you put anything on it or just wear it around?

What did you order? Natural vicenza or natural cxl fqhh?

I have a bit of an off topic question: if horse leather is stronger than calf, how come it’s rarely (if ever) used by traditional shoemakers, which seem to always use calf?

Because they cost double.

The jacket looked good on me. Spot on fit. Very stiff.

Only issues was the arm holes I felt were cut too close to chest (imo)

Most of them use shell which is a part of the horse.

The Canadian maker Viberg use horsehide for many of its boot offerings:
