>not quite yet the cold season
not in canada shit's freezing here

I have a cool german police-surplus jacket but I'm reluctant to wear it because it says POLIZEI on the back. It's not one of the ones from Kommandostore, it's a little different. I'm a burger but am concerned about people giving me a hard time. Am I overreacting? My gf says to just wear it

>>13670794
here's the back. It's like reflective material , I'm reluctant to just seamrip it off because its also like glued down.

Is that caps lock tripfag still around?

>>13670797
It's gorgeous

>>13670794
>>13670797
link? any fit pics? as long as the fit is good just rock it. it's a lot less autistic than some of the other shit I've seen on here

>>13670671

Aviator/pilot leather jacket

>>13670671
The newest in the rotation.

>>13671198
Who do you think you are, Dante or something? lol

>>13671220
It's 'Donte', according to the fags here...but it's okay. Do you think I'd disappear entirely, until the end of time? Sadly though, I don't have any updates for you guys about combo direction. The all-black thing works so fucking well that there is no reason to change it, both in terms of look as well as practicality. Come colder weather I'll try to find a low turtleneck or mock-neck, but for some reason in my area they're very difficult to find, and when you do find them, they have logos and sport shit in the worst places (like on the neck, or on over the heart). First world problems...

What leather are you sporting Anon?

>>13670671
bught this jacket last aitmun, i look like a damn russian submarinner but its warm af

>>13671306
Looks good though; pair it with submarine stuff (turtleneck and proper trousers) and you're good to go.

where to buy quality perfecto online in EU, schott is overpriced here

>>13671198
You look like a comic book character, Is that what you're aiming for?

>>13671356
I heard sandro do good quality jackets for the price

>>13671198
>>13671251
Where do you stand on the autism scale?

>>13671363
You know, that's probably the first time anyone has ever said that to me about this jacket. I've already achieved what I'm aiming for; a comfy jacket that keeps out the rain and has a hood.

What leather are you sporting this season Anon?

>>13671392
Where it asks me to put my feet...where else?

>>13671411
I've lost a lot of weight in the last year so I'm going to have to sell my old jackets and buy some new gear. I have been thinking about picking up a shearling but at the moment I'm still unsure. I need some new boots too.

>>13671458
Well, for what it's worth, make sure you're going to stay at the weight/size that you're at now before buying any new leather. The cost alone is prohibitive, but fit is everything with leather, so you have to make sure you are at a stable size if you want to buy a jacket for long term. Shearling doesn't go out of style really, especially if you're in the market for a military style jacket, so the idea is that you should buy the jacket thinking you'll wear it for the next 10 years or so (that makes the cost worth while).

It took me 3 years to get down to the size I am AND make sure it was stable. Diet, exercise, but also age affects this too. I'm not getting larger or smaller now, and my eating habits are rather predictable, so the long coat became a possibility which it wasn't before.

Good luck though; Aero makes good shearling, as does Wested. It's all expensive, but if you want something warm and that will last, you might as well buy the real thing (fake shearling doesn't hold heat well and it shreds rather quickly).

Some Anon made the pic...it's very sweet of them, so I put it in the collection...

>>13670671
I have an old levi m34 jacket that everyone seems to like. I want to get either that ubiquitous Polizei windbreaker, or Austrian olive coat, as things are to get very cold this year.

>>13671411
>Where it asks me to put my feet...where else?
Ah, so at the far end? I get it.

>>13671535
Well that was impressively quick.

So Anon, what leather are you sporting this season?

>>13671542
Shoes. That's it for me.

>>13671554
C'mon Anon, no leather jacket? I can understand if you're in the Southern hem., and it might not be the season. But a well-fitted leather jacket really is a very useful part of a man's wardrobe, regardless of if you're looking towards a biker/rogue core or if you do something more formal. No matter what, the material will never go out of style...the actual aesthetic and style however...well, that usually depends on the cut, less so on the colour.

Since the resurgence of 70's style in the 90's and now the more extreme looks towards turn of the century steampunk victorian barbershop bartender look, one can almost go with anything today except the oversized look that dominated the early to mid-90's (like off the shoulder). If it fits your body, then it's in...it's just a matter of deciding if it works with your own aesthetic or not.

What I'm saying (in too many words as usual) is that there are more options today for leather than there have ever been in human history, both in terms of actual mass as well as design aesthetics...fucking great time to live in. Why not experiment?

>>13671564
>Southern
I live in finland

>>13671575
Fair enough, I'm just gently speculating. I've never been to Finland, but from what I understand it can get cold enough that leather is probably not the most ideal. I hear it's beautiful, and quiet, but I'd probably bring a parka with me for the winter to be honest. Do you see a lot of people wearing leather up there, or is it the usual down-filled synthetics that are better for that climate?

>I still can't find a reason to buy a parka yet...but I know I probably should before the economy collapses or whatever...I'd rather spend money on leather....

>>13671198
stop posting this shit please

>>13671590
Post some leather Anon. I understand you're not enthusiastic about my fashion choices, but I personally like leather of just about every style, even if I can't wear it personally. Furthermore, at least I still try to steer this thread back to OP's topic.

What leather are you donning this fall/winter?

Looking to buy a m-65. I would hypothetically be a size small in this. Thoughts?

going to cop a fake slp l01

>>13671628
As in, fake leather, or real leather imitating the slp pattern? You gotta be careful with fake leather Anon...it tends to disintegrate with time, like old plastic bags, leaving plastic residue shit all over the place. Does it fit you well at least?

>>13671648
fake... as in a replica... from reon. the quality on their products is great for the price.

>>13671686
I can't get onto their website...something about 'signing in to see this page'. Can you at least send them your measurements, or is it something that you buy and then take to a tailor afterwards?

Newly copped. Excited for the cold

>>13671709

Thanks. A few things to keep in mind.

1) Fashion leather jackets in the sleeves should end at the first knuckle of your thumb. Anything higher looks fashionisti. Since the jacket doesn't have sleeve gussets at the shoulders, if you bend your elbow or raise your arm the sleeve will ride up by about an inch or two. If you bought this jacket with the intention of riding, you'd want it to have an extra inch, to end at the first knuckle of your middle finger. No matter what, the sleeves will be difficult to tailor if you must because of the zippers...so beware, and measure accordingly.

2) New Zealand Lamb is fine, you have nothing to worry about. That said, this style of jacket (when made for riding) is usually made out of cow or horse, which is cut thicker and will drape and hang heavier. Lamb is a beautiful skin, but it's very flexible and light which means that the jacket will not look necessarily substantial (hence the exorbitant number of zippers to make up for it). The perception of this jacket when worn will be as a fashion piece, not as an example of serious riding equipment. Plan your fashion accordingly.

Maybe phone them before ordering if you can, just to talk a few things over with them (sizing, etc.). A 4$ phone call long distance may be worth avoiding a 450$ mistake...

Good luck Anon...post pics when you get it! It's a style I love but cannot wear.

>>13671832
Op here, forgot to add that the cuffs only have a thin line of shearling. The picture has them rolled for some reason

>>13671832
Nice Femanon. Just make sure to wear high boots, and not to crop your hair like Frau Farbissina...beyond that you're set!

>>13671840
Lol thanks

>>13671834
You are such a boomer lmao

>>13671625
Bane?

>>13672229
I love it...so many possibilities:

>Definition of boomer
>1 : one that booms
>2 : one that joins a rush of settlers to a boom area
>3 : a transient worker (such as a bridge builder)
>4 : a person born during a baby boom : baby boomer

My favorite though is this:

>boomers
>drugs
>a slang term for hullucinagenic mushrooms containing psilocybin
>'where dem "boomers" at?'

Can I assume you think I'm an hullucinagenic mushroom?

In all seriousness, is there anything in my advice that was either untrue or something we should discuss/debate? We can certainly leave animal hide ethics and morels (get it?) out of it...

>>13672241
Can you please shut the fuck up or at least learn to greentext?

Oh, and before I forget.
>If you're buying modern leather jackets, there's no need to condition it before wearing. This has been the case since the mid-90's, so jackets before that era do need more moisturizers (like Pecards). Furthermore, the oils from your skin should keep your jacket okay unless you're wearing it in desert conditions or very dry places. Good luck Anons, and
>WHERE IT IN GOOD HEALTH FUCKERS!

I bought this thing a few years back but don't really know how to wear it.
I'm fairly skinny, and this jacket is clearly meant for bigger guys. But I still like it since it's warm and comfortable.

What should I even wear with a jacket like this? Just hoodies?

>>13670671

Nice jacket OP, I just copped this one for 60 bucks on Ebay. Genuine leather. Hoping it turns out to be a good value.

Does shearling count? Copped this last month.

>>13670671
I just got this jacket, I wanted a leather jacket but plain black is very basic bitch. I think this one was nice, it hasn't arrived yet but I hope it fits me.

>>13672909
Yeah this is what I've been trying to do so far with mixed success. Although I don't have a whole lot of knitwear at the moment so I need to work on that.

>>13672897
Link?

>>13675634
That's pretty cool. I would definitely be too afraid to talk to you in that.

>>13670794
If you really think its a bad idea consider wearing it with a backpack on, especially if you’re a student

>>13671585
Look pal, I've grown familiar enough with you that I can give a certifiable diagnosis right now. You have the ass burger.

>>13670671
