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

[nicelynice]

Yeah, I've been slowly letting go of my darker SZ-style stuff and slowly trading it for stuff that pairs well with jeans and boots (mainly Paul Harnden and this jacket). I still love my Layer-0 stuff in particular, just gotta figure how to weave it in. PH blazer, straight-leg jeans, and a biker jacket all go together pretty well in the same "universe," I think. I also wear a ton of Teatora and some Comoli at work that never gets photographed for the internet hahah

@nicelynice

I recall you mentioning that you got a 'non-rider' version that was slightly longer in the torso (as opposed to cropped at the waist) and moved the waist hardware further back. For reference, was there an option to make the sleeves a shorter 'non-rider' length? If so, did you select it?

I'm sure I could ask addict but it would be useful to know if that was an option you selected to have a frame of reference since the sleeve length on yours looks bike friendly (i.e. slightly longer).

Sleeve length is adjustable for sure, I went with the original length as it's not super long. Keep in mind that I'm just wearing a t-shirt underneath and the sleeves will naturally shorten by as much as an inch as they "honeycomb" or crease up or whatever.

Awesome. Thanks for the intel.

Recently went to Japan and took my 5zip with me. I underestimated the cold and that day was one of the few I was able to wear it comfortably.

Been wearing it hard for four days, finally starting to soften up. Horse is super thick, a bit more than I kinda initially thought upon comparison with my other jackets. Feels much better at the end of the day once it's warmed up a bit

Ignore my pajamas haha

Hi,

Can I ask please what size did you get and what size are you normally/in other brands for comparison.

Thanks

 

[nicelynice]

It's a 38 - I'm typically between a small and medium in most brands. Measurements on the site are fairly accurate and there's no surprises with the fit. Subtract a couple cm because the leather is thick

I could have sized down one if I planned to wear with a t-shirt, but wanted to be able to wear a sweatshirt or knit underneath

Yeah, cow is "kip leather," fairly heavy weight. It has a pretty uniform grain texture across the whole piece

Lamb is fantastic, soft yet quite thick -- very different from "fashion" lamb. It's dyed brown then black and will fade to brown for an awesome vintage effect

Thanks and really appreciate the help.

Undecided between Cow/Lamb as reckon Horse would be too thick, might go the Lamb route for something different.

my grey cow hide about 8 months old with frequent wearing, getting darker and scratches here and there, but it is hard to gain any UV color fading with my indoor life.
