There goes the greatest hitter who ever lived wearing a leather jacket. View attachment 1232699

A real man! Too bad he didn't play for the Yankees.

Thanks for the response. Shopping online makes it difficult to tell exactly how it'll fit.

I'm actually heading to San Francisco for my anniversary next weekend, any recommendations on local leather shops for a suede jacket?

I am leaving SF the week after for my anniversary, heheh.

Standard and Strange may be out of the way for you, not sure if you are going to Berkley, but Self Edge is in the heart of the mission and would be a fun place to visit. There is lots of good food and shops (idk if you've been to sf). Other than that there is lots of places to visit, lmk if you need some ideas.

@scurvyfreedman That is such an iconic picture. It looks like a WDIWT fit, going for that Koren war look.

You could look at something like Lewis Leathers Bronx twin track. Joey Ramone approved, and you could get custom lengths if you're tall (and cheaper than Buco). Aero's mc jackets have the 50's style cut also. A vintage Hercules or something might be cool though.

The Aero stuff looks great plus that twin track is a sick looking jacket. If I can't find anything at the Rosebowl, I might have to go in that direction. Especially at the price, I could get two nice jackets over one new Buco.

The Letters Concho jacket... can I wear this, or is it too Cowboy or whatever?

 

[MGoCrimson]

I eyed that one for a while. It’s western for sure. Really like how this guy wears it

 

[boxdok]

This Addict, Full Count collaboration is really nice. I am hoping a US stockist picks this up

 

[sinnedk]

don't they already have that jacket or a super similar one on their site?

Any details on that Addict jacket?

Been wearing my sheepskin Addict asymmetry jacket a bit as the weather allows and liking it with just a tee.

That looks stunning. I get the western roots but it doesn’t scream cowboy at all. Very sharp.

The Full Count collabs are basically the regular jackets with VERY minor tweaks (lining color, zipper config, etc.), slightly different leather treatments or colors, and an extra $500 price tag

Man, that's cool. Sometimes $10,000 jackets actually look it.

 

[coloRLOw]

very excited that purchase this aero today, but still have some questions about the details

1. what is the model name? cant find a exact style on aero site.

2. the seller said the lining is alpaca. is he right?

3. what is the type of the steerhide? the color is irregular if it helps.

 

[FrankCowperwood]

Lining looks like shearling. Aeros alpaca is more of a woven wool fabric and even fuzzy alpaca pile looks different from that AFAIK

I'd check out Johnson Leathers. In SF.
