Picking up from where we last left off, I decided to go for a more cooler weather themed challenge, and what's cooler than a leather jacket? NOTHING, that's what! Fall is approaching and with it, the chance to finally start wearing those jackets that you've been talking about in the Leather Jackets Thread. Some of you might have even gotten a Vanson x Thurston X SF jacket recently or will be getting a Falcon from @mrchariybrown/@shinobi13 soon. So break out those A-1s, A-2s, G-1s, Harringtons, MA-1s, CWU-45Ps, Cafe Racers, Double Riders, Ricks, Julius', Undercovers, Margiela 5 Zips, Balenciagas, Prorsums, Balmains, RLPLs, Vansons, Falcons, Lewis Leathers, SLPs, TOJs, Schotts, Aeros, Johnsons, etc. and show us how how it's done.

Rules/Guidelines:
  • Every outfit to qualify needs to feature a leather jacket. Wear it with casual items or more tailored pieces, doesn't matter.
  • Varsity jackets do not count unless your varsity is full leather.
  • Submissions will end when I put the poll up, this will happen on October 7th (so get your entries in by October 6th 11:59pm Eastern Time).
  • The poll will allow for multiple votes and be open for only three days.
  • Feel free to submit as many entries as you like. However, I will pick the one which I think is best or you can edit your post before the deadline with a "this is my final submission" or something.
  • The winner gets to choose and administrate the next challenge.
  • Please don't do that corny moto jacket + dress shirt + skinny tie + trousers + dress shoes/chelsea boots outfit that every men's magazine seems to push.

Here's some inspiration from various sources which I feel meet the requirements:

Well damn, I hope it cools down in time. No way it won't still be too hot for shearling, though.
