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

[Professor Χάος]

Hmmm....this discussion has made me realize: I don't own a navy leather jacket, or navy suede jacket, or a light grey leather jacket or a light grey suede jacket....and then there's burgundy....

Letting it dry on your head? No.

Lol
Drenching it on purpose

I was wearing my leather bonnet from Japan in bed last night trying to break it in and then a seam ripped. Any idea if it's fixable?

Seriously, though. Construction wise, this is pretty much an ideal hat. Visor that wraps the entire face to block out the sun, plenty of room for longer or unkempt hair at the back so you don't get cap-head hair or want to hide things. Wonder why it went out of fashion.

Fine Creek Bonnets ftw.

^I'd add a Sashiko patch for some Kapital vibes.

^Wonder how it'll break in.

Yeah, but if you get sassy, they take one of your eyes out...

Anderson & Sheppard's bespoke is about 3.5 years from your initial meeting, assuming you're based in the US and can't travel to see them.

I was just going through some stuff at the vacation house and found about a dozen old Anderson & Sheppard garment bags. Not leather ... but naugahyde ... well, plastic. I could cut a hole in the top and one in each side ... et voila ... A&S "leather" jacket.

I agree. I especially like the collab western leather shirts they're doing with The Shop Vancouver.

That's an awesome bag. I don't think they use that anymore.

Coincidentally have a meeting with them next month.
