Eh... Gonna have to disagree with you, but only a little bit.

Yes, you can wear a leather jacket, physically. But sometimes... it just comes off so wrong, it hurts. Depending on the style, the cut, and the balls of the wearer.

Yeah thats my feeling. I might get one at some point but it will be the bomber style. This one with the zips and stuff isnt going to look right unless you have the build and attitude to back it up.

let me rephrase: If you like something, get the clothes to wear with it and you can pull it off.


With any TOJ, that's simple. The designs are pretty classic with an updated cut. A double rider jacket is not a RO highneck or some crazy wash Julius.

For any TOJ leather, all you need is a tee, decent fitting jeans and some slim boots or sneakers.

RO: fine you might need some other stuff down that aesthetic.

^ Ok, agreed. If you want leather, man up and change some of your wardrobe/style to match it.

Seems that alot of people here generally dont like shirt tucked into jeans.
I actually do it somewhat often myself, and think with certain shirts/jeans i have it works better than untucked. I don't know, i think ive gotten mostly positive feedback when ive posted fit pics here with shirt tucked into jeans.

no ****... found that kinda odd coming from stinger because it seems like a leather jacket could easily fit in with what he wears.

bomber would probably work well for you. maybe the DR wouldnt be best, but a leather jacket in general shouldnt be hard.

I'm sorry but leathers are NOT for everyone. Can any of you honestly imagine me in a leather? I look dumb as **** in them.

I was too, it's my friends and I tried it on for giggles. I'm just saying that it's true, not everyone can look good in leather, some people are just not bad asses, myself especially.
