Can somebody recommend me a black leather jacket?  I could see myself getting a brown ToJ bomber someday, but for a black jacket I want something.. grittier than any of ToJ's offerings.  I look better in jackets with collars usually. This is the closest I've found to what I'm looking for, although it's a little too iconic for me I think (and also rather unlikely to go on sale..)  http://www.mrporter.com/product/303480

Price limit is maybe 1500?  As long as quality is solid.


you can definitely find rick leathers for 1500 and down. try sufu or sz

1) I wanna get a black zip or maybe chelsea
2) I'm looking for a deal as I'm not hung up on a specific item
3) I can stop at the Carmina Paris shop so this option is if I can't find a good online deal. I could also get a a Corthay but they make sorta delicate boots and I already have two pairs with my favourite shape.


if only you wanna get the brown :/

It's easy and looks good. I keep telling those stupid HS kids who come to the forum and ask how they can wear ascots to get a couple of white tees + band tees, some raw jeans, black boots and a black leather.
question to forum deal spelunkers: I want a new pair of black zip ankle boots (maybe chelsea). Something like MMM but I am definitely not hung up on brand, where can I kop and get a nice deal, considering it's not one of those times when I'm looking at a specific item from a specific brand. I was thinking of stopping by Carmina and calling it a day but I don't think they do zips...


not necessarily the best deals but these are some black sidezips on sale..you're a 40/41 right?

Oh good call, no idea why I didn't think to look on SZ.

CP monks are ugg, but some of their other "dress" shoes are nice if you do the cropped pants mellow look. I like the boots too

I love a bunch of CP shoe and boot designs. Those brown boots are not a very good colour though (are they the ones that looked reddish/"sienna" on the internet? :\)
