Im terrified of that website because they have cool $1000 jackets allegedly in my size but they don’t actually say the length of the jacket. (Im normally a tall).
Where can I get a legit 2xlt jacket? One that has 35 inch sleeves or longer please.
Where do people who look like Fetterman buy their leather? I used to get Dillard’s Roundtree and York but this years stuff is cheap shiny lambskin and not pebbled cowhide like before.
previously owned picrel (not my photo). got it in the skintight ramones fit so it was useless in any weather. literally gave it away. 1300cad jacket just gave it away. boy i’m smart sometimes. now have a similar one but a looser fit i can have a sweater under.
also have my dad’s old school bomber jacket. 90s so it’s very relaxed fit. works great for late night slurpee runs.

What’s up with all those grandpa jackets itt? you don’t really go around wearing jackets for +60 year old men don’t you?

i liked the body length but the common problem with schott is the belly width and that was the same problem i had. they are really made for "apple" shaped men. if i could find a vintage example in decent condition i would grab it in a heart beat.
loved the horsehide.
Yeah, goat suede with a light wax finish.
Its really nice, but I got a lot more wear out of it when I worked in fashion than now that I’m in tech-adjacent. Its too much for basically any daytime activity.

If that jacket had a solid black lining instead of ugly plaid, and no logo.
I don’t like the fabric cuffs on leather jackets. Makes an otherwise decent looking leather jacket look cheaper I dunno, I don’t want those cuffs on my leather jacket
yes – look at how boxy and huge it is. theres extra padding making it stiff.

looks like its in good shape, it’ll past you a long time and will look totally normal on the street. Don’t overthink it. The military ones little too "hogans heroes" to be /fashion/
It’s gonna be great, I bought a used one and I like it so much I’m getting ready to put in an order for a custom build then probably sell this one once the new one arrives. The horsehide is super thick and heavy so keep that in mind if that’s what you were thinking about getting.
What did you get? I went with the half belt deluxe in brown fqhh. Everyone is really surprised by how heavy it is when I have them pick it up. I’ll get a picture when I get home.
You guys… thinking of pulling the trigger on an aero jacket in either cordovan or cherry cxl fqhh – is there any chance I’m a bad enough dude to pull it off? I think Cordovan is definetly doable – it’s basically an oxblood or burgundy color – less sure on cherry.
I can pull off a black cafe racer just fine, wear a schott daily. Is this overkill? Thinking I’d just wear it with black jeans and a white t-shirt.
found this from a thrift store for 30. Usually wouldn’t pay that much for so used stuff but it fitted perfectly and the girl I was there with was hyped about it when I tried it on. It’s harley davidson branded, made in USA.
going to make some MC people seethe and use it while riding my 90s mountain bike
I’ve wanted this nigga for hecking years, it only makes sense to wear a leather jacket if you’re a motorcycle rider. unfortunately they plastered the name across the back like stupids, so I’ll stick to my textile jacket until they start acting right
that’s literally what they were made for poser gay, that’s why your skinnyfat queer body looks weird in one especially when you hop out of your silver 2006 corolla outside the barcade
Leather jackets have existed since before motorcycles, everything you said is stupid bullshit. I don’t even wear leather when I ride my motorcycles because I have an armored jacket with vents and a removable liner that’s more safe and practical. Stay mad dingus.

i want to find something something that could either add enough visual interest to be the only thing on top of a shirt but not enough to make one or two things layered under it look cluttered if that makes sense. i like collars, i like pockets, i like layering and sort of loose fits(though ideal length is like around waist section, my shoulder to waist is ~24in), try to keep a wardrobe of kind of lazy shit i can put on top of each other that still evokes the look of something more refined and corporate

I have a motorcycle jacket but want a regular one for around town wear, any recommendations? Been thinking about checking pawn shops or other type stores but haven’t yet
Snagged this vintage buffalo leather jacket. Seam on the underarm lining is bust but I’ll ask my tailor if he can fix it or if replacing it entirely is a better idea. I’ll also have it professionally cleaned.
Once all of that is done, I just need to apply some sort of conditioner once a month right?
I use Saphir wax polish for my boots, guess I can just go with their lotion for my jacket too?
Wax/polish/buff once a week. I apply mink oil whenever I have to wash it with saddle soap, very rarely, maybe once every 6 months.
How often should I apply conditioner on jackets?
Depends on what you’re doing. If you’re riding in very hot weather or getting soaked through in the rain then you should condition more often. Otherwise once or twice a year is usually enough. Just pay attention to your jacket.
I thrifted a suede one with the brand stoffa. I happened to get it because it fit just right and I got lucky, but I wasn’t confident on how to tell a good leather jacket from a bad one, other than that the really bad ones smell like plastic and have some of the pleather rubbing off. Anyone have good tips for this?
Any other brands that I should look into? Have mostly only been searching Gap, Banana Republic, and Brooks Brothers as they usually have this style of jacket.
Men, I need some advice. How do I shrink my jacket some? This is a 20+ something year old leather, supposedly from Argentina, used to be my father’s until I took it out of the closet and serviced it back to life. It had been accidentally thrown in the laundry, extremely dried and left to preserve in a dark closet for many many years. It’s older than me. Just wiped it down with a damp cloth and applied mink oil over a period of three days. Now it seems to have stretched out pretty big. I am wagering that covering it in a towel and pouring hot water on it, let it steep in a tub for a few minutes then dry and let hang, will solve some of that extreme bagging. Though I’ve been told it may not be a reliable idea
I got pic rel from Yoox. I use left strictly as a biker jacket and right for casual wear. These are my first leather jackets, any recommendations for cleaning/conditioning products? I rode through a rain storm this weekend and my jacket got soaked through.
What’s the best approach to getting into leather jackets? I don’t mind putting a few thousands if it means I buy for life, but what’s the difference between 500-800 range and 2k-4k?
Is Blake Hedley a decent brand at all by the way?
/out/ here. Recieved an old leather jacket (80s, 90s). It’s fine but it has this old man smell on it. Any idea how to freshen it up a bit so I don’t smell like a grandpa when wearing it?
Has anyone ever ripped the liner out of a jacket and replaced it? I got an otherwise great jacket but it’s liner is monstrously uncomfortable and makes it almost an entire size smaller when worn with how much room it takes up.
My plan is to buy a silk shirt and cannibalize it for a replacement but I know nothing about this kind of shit
It’s pretty easy to do using a pre-made shirt but with that style of jacket the tricky part will be ensuring any new stitching doesn’t show through. You might need to keep some of the original lining to help scaffold the new one in.
My current DIY with my leather blazer is to do a big textural embroidery piece on the back with either ‘Saturn devouring his child’ or ‘Witches sabbath’ as the centrepiece
So to understand, you mean leave like 1-2 inches of the original material around the edges to stitch the new liner on to so I am not trying to sew directly into the leather?
Yes, because you can always cut it off if you don’t need it and you don’t know what you’re working with until you start removing the lining. It’s also useful with the amount of pining you have to do to ensure the silk lining won’t move when stitching. Gotta know where the ‘bones’ of a garment is
Tbh I’m not impressed with Belstaff’s quality in relation to price and they always have these little details that make them more tacky than they need to be, but I guess that’s what makes the reconigzable Belstaff look.
The cuts are good, though, so if you like the style or the brand, go for it. Assuming you picked the correct size, odds are it’ll fit you pretty well.
Yeah its leather. There’s better pics on the website.

Yeah I like the style of it.
What else would you rec? I’ve never owned a leather jacket before.
I prefer the ones with shirt looking collars
If in Europe, Schott sells decent jackets like picrel at similar prices or cheaper than Belstaff.
A leather jacket in the configuration you want (collar, low on details) should be fairly easy to find at most retailers. It depends mostly on your budget and how much do you care for quality.
But anyway, I didn’t say Belstaff is bad, just somewhat overrated with regards to price. If you really like that jacket and are OK with the price, by all means go for it.
Personally I wouldn’t go with lambskin because it is not particularly durable. If it’s cheap I guess that works but the entire point of wearing leather is having a marginal degree of protection from bites, rocks and improvised weaponry in a socially acceptable way. A lambskin jacket is going to rip the second something sharp even looks in your direction.
It looks fine, but obviously cheap. Aside from what mad max here said […]
lambskin leather is fine for a cheap jacket that you aren’t going to wear very often. It wears out quickly, and gets a saggy awkward look because the cheap stuff stretches very unevenly. I wouldn’t spend my money on lambskin ever because I prefer stiffer heavier jackets. But for something cheap and lightweight that you aren’t expecting to get as much use out of, it’s probably fine.
I don’t know what you guys do with your jackets, but I’ve had a lambskin jacket that I’ve worn a lot for over a decade now and it has held pretty nicely.

Also found this other jacket that I really like but the side straps look tacky. Thoughts on these?
You can never win can you.
The creasing means that the jacket has been worn a lot. It’s hard to tell just from the pic but I have a similar jacket with a similar level of leather quality and has held up pretty well for many years. Overall jacket looks like it still has years of servicability ahead of it, but I’d ask for pics of the linning, since a jacket that has been worn that much is bound to have scruffs and maybe tears inside. How much are they asking for it?
Are you stupid? A big loose ill fitting cost with probably zero insulation is somehow keeping you warm despite huge gaps everywhere for cold air to come in? Go buy some clothes that fit instead of stealing from your dad.
that is a quality jacket

Second hand. Look for long shearling jackets or short shearling coats.

What did you get? I went with the half belt deluxe in brown fqhh. Everyone is really surprised by how heavy it is when I have them pick it up. I’ll get a picture when I get home.
I am getting a Teamster. I’m waiting to receive some leather samples before I decide, but I will probably be going with brown FQHH as well.
Nice, that one looks pretty good
Thinking of picking up this jacket. It’s a used Brooks Brothers. based or lame?
The elastic waist looks pretty tacky and cheap to me, but if that’s what your into then go for it.
Yeah I noticed the same thing. I ordered it anyways. The eBay listing had a return option, so I’ll just return if it looks ugly in person.
Straight cuts or half belts just look cleaner and less like cheap mallshit.
Lame
You guys… thinking of pulling the trigger on an aero jacket in either cordovan or cherry cxl fqhh – is there any chance I’m a bad enough dude to pull it off? I think Cordovan is definetly doable – it’s basically an oxblood or burgundy color – less sure on cherry.
I can pull off a black cafe racer just fine, wear a schott daily. Is this overkill? Thinking I’d just wear it with black jeans and a white t-shirt.
Pic is some guy in Cordovan CXL fqhh.
Start doing your neck curls.
Do you wear clothes that will match the color
just get black
No brown
What leather is that?
Brown front quarter horsehide from Horween
found this from a thrift store for 30. Usually wouldn’t pay that much for so used stuff but it fitted perfectly and the girl I was there with was hyped about it when I tried it on. It’s harley davidson branded, made in USA.
going to make some MC people seethe and use it while riding my 90s mountain bike
Nobody on a motorcycle is even going to notice you, everyone has one of those jackets any more
>going to make some MC people
What like the Hells Angels? LMAO those gays wear DC shoes and Monster energy hats now.
How much pussy will this get me
all the pussy you want, kidnap, rape and kill
i don’t think school shooter outfits will get you some
you havent seen true crime fandoms
A shame that incel shooters and Nazis ruined black leather coats
Rent free
I’m crazy for leather jackets but I’m a manlet and I fear I’ll just look like a tryhard wearing one
>Manlet
you will look like shit no matter what you wear or do so why give a heck?
No need to go for my throat anon, come on – but I see what you mean.
I have a BBS j2 in red and an Isaac Sellam suede arpenteur
Why
More money than sense by a wide margin
Maybe the problem is self correcting in the long run
That looks like something you’d see in goodwill marked down to $5 because nobody wants it
Honestly sick, that red looks like what the balmain jacket I had a few years ago was supposed to look like
I’ve wanted this nigga for hecking years, it only makes sense to wear a leather jacket if you’re a motorcycle rider. unfortunately they plastered the name across the back like stupids, so I’ll stick to my textile jacket until they start acting right
>it only makes sense to wear a leather jacket if you’re a motorcycle rider
Lol no
that’s literally what they were made for poser gay, that’s why your skinnyfat queer body looks weird in one especially when you hop out of your silver 2006 corolla outside the barcade
Lol
Lmao even
Leather jackets have existed since before motorcycles, everything you said is stupid bullshit. I don’t even wear leather when I ride my motorcycles because I have an armored jacket with vents and a removable liner that’s more safe and practical. Stay mad dingus.
keep coping busriding poser
>No real argument
Yeah that’s what I thought loser
Your concession has been accepted. Any further replies will be ignored.
>Still no real argument
Stay stupid
Yeah and? If I lay down a bike I’d rather replace a fabric jacket than an expensive leather one
if you lay down in a fabric jacket you’ll have to replace your skin.
Lol
Lmao even
yeah lmaoing at ur life, gay.
Stay mad buddy, I bet you’ve never even sat on a bike
same to you, friendo.
>if you lay down
If you lay your bike down under any circumstance you’re a hecking idiot
>I have an armored jacket with vents and a removable liner that’s more safe and practical
you can have armor and vents in a leather jacket.
also leather is proven to hold together better in a slide than textile.
looks like off-brand Roland Sands imo
want to grab my first ‘keep forever’ type jacket, where can i get a solid boxy fit with some pockets? like a wider utility feel
What’s your budget
is like 2-300 range reasonable?
You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers
how much…
One million dollars
What kind of style are you looking for?
i want to find something something that could either add enough visual interest to be the only thing on top of a shirt but not enough to make one or two things layered under it look cluttered if that makes sense. i like collars, i like pockets, i like layering and sort of loose fits(though ideal length is like around waist section, my shoulder to waist is ~24in), try to keep a wardrobe of kind of lazy shit i can put on top of each other that still evokes the look of something more refined and corporate
like if you took a desk worker from the 80s driving up to his cabin and crumpled him up a bit
Half belt deluxe
What size are you?
If you double that, you might find something used.
gulp…
this is tight, generally small
5’8" ~130 probably, i have a pretty rectangular frame but my shoulders are a little broad for the rest of me
No, it’s not. Maybe you should just wear a big loose garbage bag.
i meant tight like cool anon…
Oh nice, what size are you. I might be selling a size 40 after I order a new one.
probably be a little big, sloppily taking my measurements i think i’d be closer to a 36
Check out their in stock jackets and ebay, a decent deal might pop up.
will do, thanks brodie
Any one have experience with the Schott 596? I grabbed one for black friday.
No
I have a motorcycle jacket but want a regular one for around town wear, any recommendations? Been thinking about checking pawn shops or other type stores but haven’t yet
Snagged this vintage buffalo leather jacket. Seam on the underarm lining is bust but I’ll ask my tailor if he can fix it or if replacing it entirely is a better idea. I’ll also have it professionally cleaned.
Once all of that is done, I just need to apply some sort of conditioner once a month right?
I use Saphir wax polish for my boots, guess I can just go with their lotion for my jacket too?
Once a month? No, you’re not oiling your boots that much are you?
Wax/polish/buff once a week. I apply mink oil whenever I have to wash it with saddle soap, very rarely, maybe once every 6 months.
How often should I apply conditioner on jackets?
>How often should I apply conditioner
Any time you wash it or feel it is too dry.
Same for boots.
Does not matter how often per month.
Twice a day, morning and evening
Depends on what you’re doing. If you’re riding in very hot weather or getting soaked through in the rain then you should condition more often. Otherwise once or twice a year is usually enough. Just pay attention to your jacket.
He never said anything about riding at all
Well my custom order is in with Aero.
Now I wait.
Nice
my coats :3
What in the name of god
Are you literally a gay
Blessed by satan, also nice left bottom fur design. Looks comfy
How loose is ur bussy?
You just know it’s loose as hell from this picture
I thrifted a suede one with the brand stoffa. I happened to get it because it fit just right and I got lucky, but I wasn’t confident on how to tell a good leather jacket from a bad one, other than that the really bad ones smell like plastic and have some of the pleather rubbing off. Anyone have good tips for this?
Can I get a second opinon on this jacket? Not the style, I’m happy with that, but the wear on it. Are the wrinkles on this harsh enough to pass on it?
Another pic
Looks pretty nice for mallshit.
Any other brands that I should look into? Have mostly only been searching Gap, Banana Republic, and Brooks Brothers as they usually have this style of jacket.
Aero is the way
>Leather jacket
>Worried about creasing
Leather may not be for you
have one from the viridi anne and one from ann demeuelemeester. like em both a lot.
Just copped an LL Bean
Looks nice
Bought this for 14 euros
you overpaid
Neh
It’s real leather though
Could you prove that in a court of law
nice catch
Not bad
Anyone here have experience with tailoring leather jackets? If so, post your creations.
I have none yet but I want his jacket
Haven’t you been looking for this since last year? or was that another anon?
Are you really having trouble finding that
Oh boy
Men, I need some advice. How do I shrink my jacket some? This is a 20+ something year old leather, supposedly from Argentina, used to be my father’s until I took it out of the closet and serviced it back to life. It had been accidentally thrown in the laundry, extremely dried and left to preserve in a dark closet for many many years. It’s older than me. Just wiped it down with a damp cloth and applied mink oil over a period of three days. Now it seems to have stretched out pretty big. I am wagering that covering it in a towel and pouring hot water on it, let it steep in a tub for a few minutes then dry and let hang, will solve some of that extreme bagging. Though I’ve been told it may not be a reliable idea
I got pic rel from Yoox. I use left strictly as a biker jacket and right for casual wear. These are my first leather jackets, any recommendations for cleaning/conditioning products? I rode through a rain storm this weekend and my jacket got soaked through.
Forgot pic
Oh gross you wear that in public
Why though?
Why what?
Why?
Dunno lol
Why not
Ordered a black B7 from Aero and still waiting after 10 weeks. Good thing is that the temperature is not freezing yet.
I don’t think it gets cold enough for shearling where I live otherwise I’d get one
It’s been freezing at night here
All of the lights
Did you get cold while your parents were taking you to the mall and have to borrow your dad’s jacket?
What’s the best approach to getting into leather jackets? I don’t mind putting a few thousands if it means I buy for life, but what’s the difference between 500-800 range and 2k-4k?
Is Blake Hedley a decent brand at all by the way?
Just get an Aero
This. Aero is the way, the truth, and the light.
i wear my dad’s old jacket from the 80s. very cozy. wish it didnt have the buckles but what are ya gonna do
heck forgot the pic
What buckles
Where are the buckles
Can we talk about leather care or are we just jerking our dicks off here
OK. Put some Pecard leather dressing on your jacket if it seems dry, or if you notice it isn’t shedding rain very well anymore.
Thanks 🙂
You’re welcome I love you bby
Horse semen, rub it in with your tongue
Do you have any left over from your last tasting party?
No, we always use it all
Yes? Is that you? Is that a jacket you bought? Is that a jacket you’re thinking about buying? What is the context here?
/out/ here. Recieved an old leather jacket (80s, 90s). It’s fine but it has this old man smell on it. Any idea how to freshen it up a bit so I don’t smell like a grandpa when wearing it?
Clean it?
Clean it and wear it and the smell will go away. If it really bothers you just wear it around the house until it goes away.
Brown nautica jacket from high school. It’s lasted over 20 years and people seem to like it.
Has anyone ever ripped the liner out of a jacket and replaced it? I got an otherwise great jacket but it’s liner is monstrously uncomfortable and makes it almost an entire size smaller when worn with how much room it takes up.
My plan is to buy a silk shirt and cannibalize it for a replacement but I know nothing about this kind of shit
Pic rel is the jacket
It’s pretty easy to do using a pre-made shirt but with that style of jacket the tricky part will be ensuring any new stitching doesn’t show through. You might need to keep some of the original lining to help scaffold the new one in.
My current DIY with my leather blazer is to do a big textural embroidery piece on the back with either ‘Saturn devouring his child’ or ‘Witches sabbath’ as the centrepiece
So to understand, you mean leave like 1-2 inches of the original material around the edges to stitch the new liner on to so I am not trying to sew directly into the leather?
Yes, because you can always cut it off if you don’t need it and you don’t know what you’re working with until you start removing the lining. It’s also useful with the amount of pining you have to do to ensure the silk lining won’t move when stitching. Gotta know where the ‘bones’ of a garment is
Cop or not?
Belstaff
Also only size I can get is small it seems. My fitted shirt size is like XS but I was hoping to get a medium. Thoughts?
Took my measurements and they suggest a small will fit quite well enough though.
Tbh I’m not impressed with Belstaff’s quality in relation to price and they always have these little details that make them more tacky than they need to be, but I guess that’s what makes the reconigzable Belstaff look.
The cuts are good, though, so if you like the style or the brand, go for it. Assuming you picked the correct size, odds are it’ll fit you pretty well.
That’s leather?
Yeah its leather. There’s better pics on the website.
Yeah I like the style of it.
What else would you rec? I’ve never owned a leather jacket before.
I prefer the ones with shirt looking collars
If in Europe, Schott sells decent jackets like picrel at similar prices or cheaper than Belstaff.
A leather jacket in the configuration you want (collar, low on details) should be fairly easy to find at most retailers. It depends mostly on your budget and how much do you care for quality.
But anyway, I didn’t say Belstaff is bad, just somewhat overrated with regards to price. If you really like that jacket and are OK with the price, by all means go for it.
I don’t know what you guys do with your jackets, but I’ve had a lambskin jacket that I’ve worn a lot for over a decade now and it has held pretty nicely.
When I was in college I had a lambskin jacket that I wore every day. It was absolutely beat after two years.
Does this look good?
Lambskin, it’s quite cheap and fits me perfectly
Personally I wouldn’t go with lambskin because it is not particularly durable. If it’s cheap I guess that works but the entire point of wearing leather is having a marginal degree of protection from bites, rocks and improvised weaponry in a socially acceptable way. A lambskin jacket is going to rip the second something sharp even looks in your direction.
It looks fine, but obviously cheap. Aside from what mad max here said
lambskin leather is fine for a cheap jacket that you aren’t going to wear very often. It wears out quickly, and gets a saggy awkward look because the cheap stuff stretches very unevenly. I wouldn’t spend my money on lambskin ever because I prefer stiffer heavier jackets. But for something cheap and lightweight that you aren’t expecting to get as much use out of, it’s probably fine.
Only if you’re a racecar driver or a motorcycle rider.
Every other normie in my area wears something similar. You wouldn’t stand out either in a good or bad way.
Lambskin is thin and gross
Thoughts on this damage? Really like this used jacket from ebay but hard to tell how bad this will look in person.
Thoughts?
Also found this other jacket that I really like but the side straps look tacky. Thoughts on these?
You can never win can you.
What damage
The creasing means that the jacket has been worn a lot. It’s hard to tell just from the pic but I have a similar jacket with a similar level of leather quality and has held up pretty well for many years. Overall jacket looks like it still has years of servicability ahead of it, but I’d ask for pics of the linning, since a jacket that has been worn that much is bound to have scruffs and maybe tears inside. How much are they asking for it?
You’re swimming in that coat
Keeps the warmth in in winter
Are you stupid? A big loose ill fitting cost with probably zero insulation is somehow keeping you warm despite huge gaps everywhere for cold air to come in? Go buy some clothes that fit instead of stealing from your dad.
Why so emotional?
Why so stupid?
thoughts on pic related?
vs this from allsaints, but I’m tryna get something with chest pockets
or is there a modern rep of this rag and bone cleveland
Get a Schott lc940d
Thoughts?
Why does it have so many seams?
