Make sure you find a matching fedora with your leather jacket, Brando.

Wow, not even one post before the virgins started their bullshit.

i need a leather jacket thats casual everyday use when riding my bike, something light weight like for autumn weather, not winter

also im looking for casual leather boots with a zipper so its easy to take on and off, that i can use for riding, so it has to be leather with no steel toe

i want a leather jacket that isn't heavily associated with riding a motorcycle, because i don't
what do?

>>6138300
A motorbike?

>>6138312
Stop being a pussy?

>>6138317
am i a pussy for not riding a motorcycle or desiring a leather jacket

>>6138300
Here's the classic Schott Cafe Racer, its made in heavy steerhide, and it's cut in a slim fit.

It's perfect for autumn and early spring. When I'm not riding in the winter, I just wear it casually.

As for boots, I'd recommend IRs (although they aren't zippered).

For letting people like >>6138269
Influence what you buy. Buy any leather you think looks good.

If you want something less traditional looking then look at brand like Julius or maybe even past collaborations for an even quirkier look.

>>6138319
No, you have the wrong attitude. For instance:
>wearing desert boots
>not in the desert

>wearing jeans
>not owning a claim to a mine

>wearing peacoat
>not being in the navy

These are bullshit arguments ^^^. We've always found a way to repurpose articles of clothing. For instance, field jackets were meant for the military, but now we've repurposed them to be worn around town.

So stop being a pussy and look into buying a good leather jacket.

NOTE: Don't buy the padded kevlar moto jackets, those would not be acceptable for casual wear. Just get the regular old leather jacket.

>>6138348
every garment has a cultural context, and most people would assume if you were wearing a biker jacket that you own a bike

jeans today have a strong association with the casual american wardrobe, unlike when they came out

so the question is does the OP jacket scream "i ride" or not
if not i'm tempted to cop

Cafe racers are the most unassuming leather jackets. People don't associate them with riding nearly as much as they do with Perfecto-style ones.

Fashiony designer leathers like from Julius and Rick and whatnot carry the association even less with their non-traditional designs.

>>6138383
thanks, that was what i was looking for :) ur a sweetie

Bought this (in black), $550, then started working out, lost 10kg in 6 months, now it's too large :|

>>6138383
>most unassuming leather jackets

And that's exactly what I like about them. When worn appropriately, they can look good in many settings.

>>6138418
shits ugly as fuck anyway

>>6138418
Get it fitted at your local tailor.

>>6138383

cool jacket, terrible fit

>>6138288

nice fit what kind?

>>6138449

I currently live in Norway as a student, it would probably ruin me if I got that done. Getting a decent hair cut costs $80-100.

>>6138524
cut your own hair. tailor jacket with money saved

>>6138524

donate it, it's fucking awful

do want

>>6138542
Acne outwerwear especially leather jackets are so expensive though ;_;

>>6138383

looks like shitt on their site but sexy as fuck irl
cheaper too

>>6138516
ToJs rarely fit right, honestly. That dude bought it from a sample sale so it wasn't even made for him, but it's still miles better than most other people. And for every dude that measures wrong and his ToJ doesn't fit, another dude buys it from him second-hand producing another ill fit.

>>6138542
>>6138542

disgusting.

>>6138558

>>6138567
I want a TOJ minimalist. Any tips on making sure i've taken my measurements down correctly?

I want this but in black :(

Follow their directions thoroughly, and you should probably e-mail them if you have any concern or question.

>>6138625
only asians wear leather jackets

that is why i dont wear leather jackets

b/c tryhard gooks are stealing my stlye

leather jacket = gook

>>6138609
no

get a stock size so that you can easiley resell

>>6138663
If you're going for a stock size you might as well just buy one from someone looking to sell. MDR, especially if it's black, and especially if it's lamb will probably be one of the easiest to find in your size.

>>6138679
well they dont really come up in the marketplace often, and when they do they're custom sized

>>6138663
Wn't it be hard to sell once I get it tailored?

leather related: how bad should i let leather bracelets smell before i cut them off?

>>6138784
exactly so you get a stock size, 44, 46, 48, etc.

>>6138784
Getting it tailored would make it just as hard to sell as if you'd gotten it MTM to measure in the first place (not to mention MTM will be a much better garment than a stock size tailored, especially with leather), stock sizes are easier to sell because they loosely follow the same basic proportional format as a lot of other stock size clothing so other people looking for a lower risk will want them.

>>6138806
But then it's going to fit/look like shit.
>>6138815
I may go with the mtm option then

>>6138806
But then he'll get a WAYWT-tier fit

>>6138942
>>6138860
or he'll get something like this

>>6138860
if you insist on customizing, the most I would adjust is lengths

balmain motorcycke pants + leather jacket suck my ballz

>>6138956

>>6138968
Well usually all I have to adjust is the waist and sleeve lengths
