Leather Jacket General

I see guys wearing it and it's okay on them. They're not badass. They're just normal dudes wearing normal jackets that aren't even expensive.
I know instinctively that I could not pull it off, though.
Why is it so?

>>11771991
What?

I want to pacify my inner naziboo and get one of these

Does anyone else feel like leather jackets would be fedora-tier if it weren't for biker gangs?
f to pay respect

Leather has a long standing tradition

Why should it be

>>11771994
I don't understand what you did not understand. Did you get thrown by the question "Why is it so?"

>>11774175
Actually I suspect it might be the other way around. Without biker gangs they might be much more acceptable.
1920s through 1950s a leather jacket was basically just work wear. Even sportswear.
Through biker gangs and/or depictions of biker gangs they gained connotations of being a costume and not for everyone. Or at least tied to use of motorcycles.

should I know anything before buying a used leather jacket on ebay

>>11773758
is that one of those made in korea ones

pls post more pics

how thick is the leather? have you conditioned it?

>>11775891
Yeah it's the Korean ones with the map inside. Global Identity G-111

I'm on vacation so no other pics sadly.

It's a pretty nice thickness, like your average jacket. What's conditioning it mean?

It's 90€ for faux leather jacket.

Cop or not? Looks decent but short on the back.

>>11776039
I don't really like the white collar, but it's just not my style. If you like it, go for it because the rest of the jacket is sweet.

>>11776031
>It's a pretty nice thickness
what specifically though. in millimeters
>What's conditioning it mean?
leather is conditioned for upkeep
like hair

>>11773577
Try not to look at it like that I guess, it is a nice jacket that looks good even without prior knowledge of the game.

Any advice on /fa/ riding jackets?

>the white collar
it's a sherpa/wool lining

>>11776360
Get one that fits well and is not made of shitty leather.

More expensive is usually better when it comes to leather. Well as long as it is not designer shit, more expensive is never reflective of quality when it comes to that.

>>11776457
I appreciate the advice famalam but that's fairly general, I was hoping to get brands to look into

>>11776039
>faux leather
stop

>>11776698
Sandro quality is nice. One in most typical styles.

On what weather to wear a shearling jacket of a lighter scale.

>>11775889
yeah it'll probably smell like the old dude that died wearing it

>>11776795
windy days with bitter cold

>$20
You asshole. :) It looks good on you.

>>11773951
The jacket seems to be made in Turkey for distribution in the German market, since it reads 'Ecthes Leder' (Typo on the label should be 'Echtes') which means 'Real Leather'. But if it's really 50 years old, the company will not exist anymore.

that's me, the jacket is camel.
it's hard for me to find the right approach to it, since it's a little baggy/oversized. Any inspo?

>>11779685
idk why it flipped.

>>11776031
holy shit i literally got the same jacket at a goodwill near me this weekend.

>>11775411
Only if you're a fullpatch 1%er.

>>11771988
So you're the Ganado who took Leon's jacket, huh?

>>11778720
ya thats about as much as i had gathered, its a fun mystery!

>>11773658
Lucky cunt

>>11773658
Jacket is cool, those pants are hideous tho.

>>11775411
Don't do it. With everyone wearing a similar style currently, you will just look like everyone else but you just wasted a lot more money to be part of the mass

>>11782214
ya those were a failed experiment
