You might try posting this in the streetwear forum.

But, my usual footballer response for casual wear is Dolce&Gabbana. This jacket looks like it could easily be theirs as well, not to mention that Ronaldo is known for being a big D&G fan (half of the rest of his outfit in that segment is D&G as well). Other possibilities for something similar would be Valentino or Gianfranco Ferre.

Just a guess...

In any case, it looks (in the close-ups) like it has snakeskin or something on it. If you look as good as Ronaldo, you can wear somethign like that. Unfortunately, the other 99.9999999% of men can't without looking like a total asshole.

If it is D&G, you'd also be looking at $3000 or more for something like that. The regular leather jackets are around $2000, so something with an exotic skin would be exponentially more.

As far as something similar, it just depends on where you live. D&G and its aesthetic are really popular throughout Europe and Asia, so many one-offs will be available at virtually every price point up to (and surpassing) the D&G original. IN the US, though, it's a little more difficult to find, because that Euroluxe aesthetic doesn't tend to connote womanizing sports stars and playboys. Instead, nearly every gay man I know has some article of D&G hiding in his closet.

hey man thanks alot, just looked at some of D&G jacket range and its very similar! love your work! a few in particular look like the same one, however not in that certain fabric he has (like you said snakeskin or something) i presume it may be a very rare item if not custom made. will have a look at some of the others also

i wasnt expecting something as high as 3k, but shouldnt come as any surprise considering ronaldos take home pay every week.

im sure theres a similar looking piece out there thats not too harsh on the back pocket, but thanks for pointing me in the right direction

You're welcome. But, just a hint, you might try posting any future searches/questions and such of this nature in the streetwear and denim forum. That's where generally these types of issues are discussed and my guess is it would get more reception/responses there.

In any case, keep in mind that D&G produces leather jackets every season and have been doing that for the past twenty years. So, there are literally hundreds of styles and so the odds of finding this exact one are probably rare... if even the jacket is Dolce&Gabbana. Nevertheless, their aesthetic does not change and so you could probably find one similar. But, even used, they will still run higher than most companies charge for a brand new one. The quality, however, is quite good. I believe they are (or were) made by Ruffo, and the leather quality is good, they use Riri and Lampo top-quality zippers, etc etc etc. In short, it's definitely not Wilson's.

Good luck in your hunt.
