Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

[artishard116]



Ok.  Round 2.   When it comes to military jackets, they have to be old.  Otherwise they look too much like a costume for halloween.  I searched for years for the right one and last year I found exactly what I wanted.   This Vintage US Navy jacket I discovered in RRL in NYC.  I think it was $2,500.  I'm a 38' and even though the jacket is a 40, it fits completely snug and has a very slim cut.  The wear is really nice on this one and the vintage patches are some of the nicest I've seen on a jacket.  Sorry the pictures aren't the best, but I can upload better ones later.

Isn't it a costume though? unless you're a fighter pilot from the 40's.

Just about every modern leather jacket is based off either fighter pilot jackets or biker jackets, so it's not that much of a stretch... I get what he's saying, if it looks beat up it looks like what it is (a cool thrift store find) while if it's new it just looks ridiculous.

Have you ever shopped at RRL or even in NYC for good leather items?  Only reason I paid that much for it was because the jacket's condition was superb. 

nah man nobody here has ever shopped in nyc or knows anything about good quality leather. you've owned these faggots lol

Isn't this one of these unwinnable 'authenticity' vs. 'costume' arguments?

The only completely undeniable fact is that any leather jacket looks bad with flip-flops...

(sorry i can spend more on a jacket than your monthly rent)

Now I understand what you meant when you said you could pull off leather and flip flops.

You're a douchebag.
