I've never seen anyone pull this look off.

Almost every person I’ve seen wear one looks like they are trying too hard.

i only see people wearing some synthetic leather shit
even real leather ones look like you’re trying hard as heck to be cool
why is that a problem? If you think you look awesome it doesn’t matter if npcs think you look like a tryhard, what does that even mean, really.
Haha youre scared cuz he has leather armor, cuck troll.
They must be broken in by doing dangerous shit like putting up barbed wire.
AVS is a midget who can’t string a sentence together. And don’t even get me started on how he has his trousers cut.
I think I can do it. I’m trying to buy it used (real leather is necessary, but expensive) so the one I tried on in Picrel is one to two sizes too small for me and I’m not wearing an outfit that goes super well with.
I like it on me. R8 pls.
>belt done up
if you’re gonna do it. at least do it properly
I was just trying it on in the street and the guy who’s selling it took the pic.
>headphones look a bit gay
Yep. That’s intentional.
>shirt protruding at the bottom and past the jacket sleeves looks kinda bad
I agree. The jacket was just too short, otherwise I would have gotten it. The price was good.
>it looks like you are trying too look cool bro.
Nah bro. I have given up on looking cool. I’m uncool and have made my peace with it. I just try to have fun with the stuff I wear now.
It might still look shallots of course.
The thin ones don’t need as much time to break in to not look stiff, but the thicker leather does break in. And it’s way more durable. I think your point is valid though. Made me reconsider the thinner options. Thanks Anon.
headphones look a bit gay and the shirt protruding at the bottom and past the jacket sleeves looks kinda bad but idk, overall looks pretty good
it looks like you are trying too look cool bro.
takes a very specific kind of man to pull the look off.
old dudes in the background look cooler.
i’ve always hated how the super stiff looking motorcycle jackets look. I think ones that look looser and have thinner leather look better.
probably pricey for a good one like this.
>These are the subhuman cunts giving you "fashion" """advice"""
The amount of s0i emanating from this picture is crazy. On a side note I wish I could push you over just to see how hard it is for you to get up wearing such stiff clothing
>The amount of s0i emanating from this picture is crazy.
Thank you for noticing, I try to lean into it.
>On a side note I wish I could push you over
I also wish you could push me over, but I also think you can’t.
Good eye on the sharp collar edges. I’ll look out for that on my hunt for one.
Nah. I don’t give advice on this board. I soak up inspo, post WAYWT and ask for opinions.
belt up, sharp collar edges, no wonder it looks bad. Goatee…
hecking yikes
Those are examples of shitty modern jackets, avoid them like the plague.
Does anyone make old-school cut ?
Dunno about that, but i always buy second hand. Jackets even made 40 years ago still stand the test of time.
That’s FreddieDobbs, he’s using this jacket:
>https://jsaccessories.co.uk/product/frank-thomas-patrol-jacket-black-11790?variant=75097
Not sure of the quality, but it’s cheap and it’s built for riding
why are you walking around in the city in a leather jacket with 5k$ headphones?
Like I said I met with a guy who wanted to sell it. He took the pictures and I thought it was too small. So I didn’t wear it around.
>y expensive headphones
I have a well paying job so I can buy nice things I like. I have ADD so I don’t have filters so I need artificial filters. ANC makes a weird high pitched sound so closed backs it is.
>Wearing leather if you don’t ride a bike is like wearing Carhartt if you don’t do manual labor. There’s just something about it that makes you look like a poser.
But there are non-moto leather jackets. And these jackets have long transcended the motorcycle world. They don’t even have pockets for the protectors you would wear in a cycling jacket.
I think wearing leather just because you ride a bike is way more LARPy. You turn 40 and don’t have a personality so you get a Harley and a double rider. Cringe as heck.
>they’re just neat designs for jackets its not that complicated
Exactly.
I think with the feedback provided from the people in the thread I can pull it off. And I’m very far from the average Joe. Thanks for your concern tho
Double riders are cringe. It’s like the boomer version of some nerd trying to look cool by wearing anime clothes. Leather is really cool but not the double rider jacket.
Hilarious
you look like a discount gimp, motorcycle jackets are not made for average joe
I always found the black ones super hard to style. I love this brown one I thrifted. Still sorta want a black one just to have it but I haven’t found one I liked yet
Kino look id on boots?
timb pro titan 6". They’re pretty bad looking but they’re hella comfy
They look good with this look. This anon gets the look, making this look dirty is the key to making it good and why nobody pulls it off. That’s because being cool means not carying as much about other people and keeping leather jacket clean is essentially an oxymoron
Unironically if you saw his uggo face you would not think that
JJSSJ
>good people look good
>bad people look bad
that isn’t a typical motorcylce jacket anyway. its a lot more toned down.
god damn this looks good
what is it with you. he looks like a truck driver
i agree it really isn’t fashionable. it just looks cool because it looks post apocalyptic
only one ITT that doesn’t look like shit
hecking kino
ID on pants?
old carhartt
Thanks guy
It’s a problem on a problem on a problem on a…
*The guy has to be fit and good-looking but also in a way conducive to this not looking like a costume on him.
*It has to hecking fit him properly. He’s probably going to need to go through at least three jackets to find that. Jackets that will be 800-1200 new and not give up after the first one lives in his closet.
*He has to wear the shit out of it to break it in. No one wants to break in something like that anymore because it means hard wear for YEARS.
*If he’s the kind of guy that would look cool in this – he’s the kind of guy that would be repulsed by it. That guy is probably wearing "Sexcore" or some shit.
*The kind of guy that has the fashion knowledge and attention to detail to get a good fit on this is not wearing this jacket.
The only place today it won’t look stupid, and I don’t mean look good, is some fat boomer version on a fat boomer biker.
I’ve seen punk rockers pull the motorcycle look off, but you typically have to be punk and its like wearing an identity and a hecking uniform at that point.
>uniformed non comformists
( -_-)
>Showing your support for a cause by dressing in a recognizable way.
🙂
yeah leather jackets look terrible unless they are broken in
The fitted racer/trucker/etc jacket makes your frame look smaller.
>fitted racer/trucker/etc jacket
post example of what this is.
Guaranteed he looks bigger with the jacket off
i think these look much better on men than motorcycle jackets and are easier to pull off.
Most fit lookism psl shit is anti-fashion tbh.
Having a gorilla body builder frame just doesn’t work for being fashionable.
ofcourse being thin, healthy, tall, broad shoulders all works tho, with some muscle mass.
no one is telling you to look like ronnie coleman to be /fashion/.
it’s more like being ottermode and being ottermode is not default. that also takes work that most people have not put in.
w2c?
Depends how you wear it, the jacket in OPs pic is shit to start with. It’s a casual item of clothing, embodying a carefree, attitude. Doing it up and the hecking belt is contrary to how it should be worn.
hmm not bad. i like that you’re not playing it up like its a motorcycle jacket too much
Stick with classic brands and fits, size down, and don’t zip and buckle it up.
is this a schott?
yez
know which model?
613 one star
Picrel has never let me down, looks awesome opened and styles well with everything casual.
everyone and their mom owns a leather in nyc, this is like asking how to pull off crew socks
do they look like actual motorcylce jackets or are they just leather jackets.
he’s even on the bike the wrong way
Kid Cudi can, then anyone can.
not a motorcycle jacket.
also not a look most men can pull off without looking like they’re wearing a costume.
post yourself wearing one. 90% chance you look like a tryhard
>also not a look most men can pull off without looking like they’re wearing a costume
more like ‘most men don’t have physique of a literal videogame protagonist and cant grow a beard like that’
with a different hat (or no hat + better hairstyle), he would look pretty normal imo
just gotta be confident wearing them and not be fat with tiny shoulders.
That jacket was my best drift to date, full leather, perfect size. Reduced to 30€ because the shop was closing down in a few days.
I say don’t stress it a good leather jacket will find it’s way to you, they last for ever and mf’s keep dying. I’ve been looking for one in second hand shops for like 2 years until randomly stumbling over it on one of my lunch breaks.
Unless you’re a celeb with a well known face, it’s all about having a muscular frame.
you’ll look like a homosexual if you’re a lanklet.
you’ll look like a school shooter if you’re obese.
Pristine jackets have no soul.
Equivalent of communications majors wearing Carhart
Wearing leather if you don’t ride a bike is like wearing Carhartt if you don’t do manual labor. There’s just something about it that makes you look like a poser.
Motorcyclists don’t even wear it anymore. They wear power ranger suits. That’s exactly what makes this look such a try hard costume- the fact that there’s literally no reason to have this jacket other than to try and lokk like something you’re not.
aviators dont wear bomber jackets anymore doesn’t mean there’s no reason for them to exist anymore
they’re just neat designs for jackets its not that complicated
>cope and seethe the thread
You’ll never be able to afford a SLP Hedi Slimane leather jacket.
>I’ve never seen anyone pull this look off.
Hmmm, maybe if you was actually gay. Let me introduce you to leather smoker fetish. For some reason, gays will masturbate to a guy smoking with leather jacket + leather gloves on yt.
Also i agree, leather jackets are trash. Dont bother with them.
>you call that a leather jacket. Cute
ge
>I’ve never seen anyone pull this look o-
you were sayin?
Nice bait
god this post is so embarrassing and you dont even know it
You have to actually ride a motorcycle.
maybe in the modern era but I’ve seen a lot of pics of normal dudes at gigs from the 80s just casually wearing them cool
here is my leather jacket fit
it’s too big for you, mate.
ID on jeans?
You have such a punchable face its disgusting
I like the jacket’s slouchy oversized 80s vibe, it suits you. Good choice
You should consider wearing a leather blazer.
Leather blazers were arguably the very worst part of the 90s. I’m including Rwanda in that statement.
I’ve seen two people pull it off but both were built like brick shithouses and probably gang affiliated. It’s definitely not easy to do right.
Negan in real?
I’m into the 1950s and rockabilly style so leather jackets are a staple. I like to pair my leather jacket with dark turtlenecks and black or dark grey cuffed jeans. Chuck Taylors are optional. Bit of a shit photo but it’s there anyway.
are you japanese?
Not Japanese but funnily enough I should be going there for a year as part of a university exchange program, I’m at conversational fluency in the language.
Good for you pal, I don’t know if you’re taking the piss or being serious but either way I’m glad you’re happy.
Both.
Lmao and I cosplay as a cowboy
I used to wear one for the longest time.
Once I get my neck tattooed I’m going to start wearing it again
>everyone ITT
more embroidered name movie character jacket kino
Motorcycle style leather jackets are like fedoras. There’s just a certain vibe and look that you gotta have for them to look natural. For a fedora unless you’re part of the intalian mob or a hard boiled detective from a 1940s noire film you’ll just look like a neckbeard. Unless you’re James Dean or part of a biker gang if you show up with a biker jacket zipped up like that you’re gonna stick out. Leather jackets are timeless. Personally I go with a brown leather bomber style jacket, flannel, faded band tee, some 5 year old Levi’s, and some scuffed up doc marten work boots from when I worked in the oil field if I’m feeling more of a rugged look. Just like another poster said wearing carhart looks weird if you don’t work a blue collar job. Wearing some pearl snaps, wrangler boot cuts and some cowboy boots looks out of place if you’re not a cowboy. The list goes on and on. Find an aesthetic that works for YOU and YOUR lifestyle and you won’t find people questioning you about what you’re wearing.
