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

Get the tennis balls ready!!!

I had a Mastermind deerskin jacket for a while. Incredibly thin and draped like silk. Didn't like it for that reason. Felt like rubberized leather, so that was weird.

But these look pretty thick so I imagine they hold their shape.

Don't you know, I'm fat now. No need for tennis balls anymore.

Would you say this is a pretty accurate representation of the fit of an Addict AD-01? Or is the body really not that long?

Lately I've been considering it, but now that I see it this way ... uh, no thanks.

Got this in the mail today

How do the OG Bros a-2s fit? I have very broad shoulders and large arms, wondering if I could even fit it (By their measurements I think I'd be a 44 at 6'1" 187 lbs).

how’s the quality with Our Legacy leather jackets ? Been eyeing one but holding off because I don’t know if they’re more a fashion jacket or the quality is gonna be good.

It’s weird because I like most of the AD-01 fits I’ve seen (although many are from the brand owner, who is 6 feet tall) but there’s a few like the one above where it looks too long. In that one however it feels kinda too big in general. I mean, it’s not that long (it’s not like it’s covering his junk) but it looks off. Looks like he’s got narrow shoulders.

But e.g. Alex Turner from Arctic Monkeys has one and he’s 5'7 or so and it doesn’t look long on him although it’s entirely possible that he got one custom made. FYI you can order custom length from Addict but only at a specific date (some sort of yearly event) and then takes several months to ship (this guy wouldn’t have had to go through that process, I’m sure).

And take this video for example, the guy in it is like 5’6 and given his build he must be wearing a pretty big size (and still can’t zip it) and even though the sleeves way too long the jacket itself doesn’t look that long on him.



It’s definitely on the longer side, but going by measurements alone it’s in the same ballpark as e.g. the FCL version of the same jacket (both copies of the Lewis Leathers Corsair), the Tyler, which Rivet & Hide has at 26.25 inches for a size 40 (21in P2P). These jackets have a back drop so the back length will be longer.

I’ve liked this jacket since @nicelynice posted pics in this thread, and I think he was about my height (5’11).

Soon I’ll be able to comment more about this jacket…

A small japanese brand I’m following allows for all kinds of customisations (designs too, not just measurements) and most of the jackets look great, but there’s not many fit pics so unsure about the patterns.

Some dude ordered a 5zip clone. Looks off as expected but their standard models look good.

What size are you considering?

What size are you considering?

38, I wear leather jackets over just a t-shirt most of the times or at most a thin merino knit.

I reckon that's a Lewis Leathers Corsair.

I reckon that's a Lewis Leathers Corsair.

He has both, got the Addict in Japan while on tour.



The LL jackets he has have the logo, or at least some. And if some don’t then it must be due to his celeb status because they won’t remove it for average joes (deal breaker for me and many others).
