not bad, but it has the zipper placement in odd areas which I don't like. Plus, I bet they are very shiny and noticeable. Epaulets are something ive always been iffy about too.

haven't found a pic on the internet of the one I really liked, but it was a collared single rider's that was reminiscent of the Hedi-era Dior Homme leathers, except the front of the jacket had pockets in a French F2-jacket kind of style, like two vertical pockets and then two bomber style patches with zipper hand pockets on top of them, with bright Lampo zips. Same season as the DR above.

the quality was junky looking, though; that DR above in calf was very dry and made of cheap looking leather. Reminded me of a 'classic' American biker jacket brand like Schott or Vanson.

this is the most times I had to use google to understand what someone was saying on here. Sounds interesting, though

Can anyone give me some suggestion on this red jacket? What can I wear with it? I will change the shoes to a black Dr marten, perhaps?

are there any leathers out there that aren't TOJ that are ~1000 range that don't suck quality/design wise?

used attachment, backlash, and julius leathers are comparable to ToJ quality in that range
