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

[MarkinNYC]

In my opinion the only difference between the Schott 141 and 641 (or 641hh) and is that 641 fits one size smaller. As I understand size 44 in 141 has the same measurements as side 46 in 641. That's not in fact slimmer fit if but it is the same jacket size smaller. Schott could label their jackets in correct size. Same thing with 626vn. Why put a size label before factory vintaging process if the jacket shrinks one size smaller as is stated?

The thing I don't like in my 641hh, is the huge gussets in bi-swing back. Those batwings look like from Thriller video. I prefer plain back but that is because don't ride. Those gussets and underarm footballs are propably useful when reaching handlebars..

@jmo74: great looking Aero (corrected the brand), good fit!

This is why I didn't buy 141 or 641 after I tried it in the store. Great leathers, great classic design... but it is very bulky. Underarm footballs can be removed by Schott but they don't really slim it down (it might just allow you to squeeze into 1 size smaller). It's the heavy and thick leather and gussets. I didn't like 654 leather after trying naked cowhide on 141. Also it doesn't have the buckles, which I kind of like.

Schott europe has some nice models, I am not sure if the quality is the same.

Under arm footballs, while looking extra bulky, actually allow for more movement. If anything, removing them WOULDN'T let you size further down.

This new Junya SS17 looks good. Kind of a traditional design, but different pocket placements, non-cropped length, slimmer body, and slimmer sleeves. Also dig the middle fastening thing, so you can button it like a coat. Stoffa's double rider has the same detail.

Is this another one of his collabs with vanson?

Does anybody know what jacket is this one?
If not, any suggestions for alternatives in similar shape/finish, or for a good custom shop that would nail it?
Thanks!!

That collar is hard to find for sure

Here's my Johnson Leathers moto jacket in a 3.75-4oz heavy naked cowhide.

It's based on a vintage TT Leathers jacket I sent them to copy with some modifications.

Always wanted to try a DR but avoided them because I'm pretty stocky. Picked up a Schott in lamb suede to try out since it was only $360. Worth keeping? Feel like it's slightly too large but I kind of like it...

These are going for $280 at Lucky Brand right now. They have some other Schotts on sale. I bought a Schott bomber from them last year. There's no Lucky branding. Shop Runner shipping too.

The Schott is really nice, a perfecto jacket in suede is rare to see
