Looking for blazer-style leather jacket (pic)

[DeusEx]

Hi everyone,

I need some help looking for a leather jacket similar to this one:

Even if you can't point me in the direction on where to purchase one, the name of this particular style of leather jacket would be very helpful.

Thanks

You can go into most mens shops and ask for, "The Manton."

They will know what you are talking about.

Well, at least the jacket is visible

Any suggestions for what I can type into google to turn up some results?

leather jacket discussions are always very interesting to me-- you might check over this website, and also email the folks there to ask them about the one from the TV show pic you have.

I'd also suggest searching for Varvatos leather jackets, good chance they make the style you're looking for, and also see leather jackets on Yoox.

I thought the whole point of leather jackets was to be street wear and to strictly avoid blazer styles. That is, except for Russians who do everything backwards and always look stupid.

That, and Steven Seagal. 'Course, he plays by his own rules.

And leather blazers can work. For Brad Pitt. Most of us are not Brad Pitt, however.

The "Manton"? We used to call that "the Rollo".

Which beats the hell outta "the Fonz". Well, maybe.

did you ever find a jacket in the style you were looking for?

Thanks to everyone who replied with suggestions and even observations, haha.

I appreciate it.

Not yet, but I'm getting closer!

Leather blazers are pretty easy to find in Western stores in many versions. Even with ostrich trim if you want. http://www.sheplers.com/mens/leather...her_outerwear/

PRL and RLPL both have it in suede and IIRC one was on sale recently in B&S.

Not so fast, my friend.

Look up the sabira online shop on eBay. He's done three MTM leather blazers for me. It was a bit of a hassle getting the measurements to him but he did them exactly how I wanted them.
