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

[UrbanComposition]

here is me wearing that FCL at self edge, spot on fit, and if you notice right below the shoulder there is a small creasing, i am excited for all the cool folds and etc

Side note, i added a few more christian bale images this time cuz it looked damn funny

Man it’s raining like crazy today. Hope you asked to see how the leather “performs” when wet.

creasing underneath right armhole might be from a dropped right shoulder. if you raised your right shoulder, i assume you'd see the effect go away. but you know ... these are leather jackets and not tailoring. imo best to just let it be.

They wouldn't ...cuz Murica

We also don't make women wear face masks when trying on shirts.. cause America.

 

[dieworkwear]

Don't baby your clothes pls. Defeats the whole purpose of this style.

You wearing a jacket thats not yours (yet) and bending your arms like that makes me extremely uncomfortable.

hm

No, because its implied plus most women (I think) would have the common courtesy to be careful and as a store owner, you have an expectation for customers to have a certain standard when entering your store. Hey man its your store you do whatever you want but I'm sure you're well aware a large part of FCL's brand story is "The perfect leather jacket that ages to the owner's story and lifestyle". You let everyone go in and draw a bit of that story away from the eventual owner, you defeat the brand story.

Maybe I'm just the minority but to any loyal long term FCL customers, you've effectively taken away the passion behind the story. Which at the end of the day,... after having it tossed around, is just another leather jacket. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@dieworkwear hey don't get me wrong, if you own it... beat it up, do whatever you want with it. If you don't own it, don't destroy the experience for the potential owner. Thats all

All I want this week is a video of you putting on a jacket without in any way bending the arms.

I kind of imagine the pose is like this: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thats what the shop staff is for. My personal experience from Mccoys Shibuya, Marijuan, Blacksign, Trophy, I can go on and on and on... They all help me put it on from the back with and zip up the jacket for me. Guess asking others to be respectful of other people's stuff these days is quite a lot to ask.

Try being a small designer without a brand story.. see how far you go.

if i'm ignorant of the brand story does that diminish the jacket (or me lol) in some meaningful way?

i think the safest thing here is to put on the right side of the jacket only. then take a fit pic. then put on the left side and take a fit pic. now merge the two sides in photoshop to see how the jacket would look.

Certainly wouldn't diminish the physical piece itself but it would diminish how much someone is willing to pay for a piece.

[dieworkwear]
