>needing to bump so soon on /fa/

Yeah man fellow leather jacket wearer. I ride a bike though and its held up errday pretty well in the elements. Might need to oil soon though so it don't dry out

>>6338824
Also post pic if you can of said jacket.

anyone know where i can get one like this for 100 to 150?

>>6338756
like four or more years of near daily wear

>>6338824
That's cool. What sort of bike do you ride? I want to learn to ride because I have a massive hardon for cafe racers. Any advice for leather jacket care/wearing in or learning to ride?

>>6338830
I know
>dat wavy zipper

>>6338838
Under $150? Unlikely, sorry m8 unless you get it on sale. Try TOJ for mtm leather though

>>6338839
I can live with that

>>6338843
where 2 cop the 1 in the pic?

>>6338843
Yup pic related. Wanted a cafe too but then was told they usually run worst after, so just changed out the bars to club mans and I'm content. Take the class and yeah old ujm are best to learn on.

>>6338867
As far as care goes I beat the shit out of mine 60 miles errday la rush hour traffic and don't get too hot/cold, its still looks new so yeah leather is really best choice for riding

>>6338867
cute ass picture

>>6338852
My pic? it's from Roger David, top end of Australian mall-tier shops. $300 reduced to $150. Can't help you with you're pic >>6338838 but it reminds me of the TOJ ones

>If I treat it like a pair of rawz and wear every day, will the leather wear in and get beautiful fades like pic related?
You just answered your own question. Yes, near-daily wear will produce a beautifully worn leather jacket. Expect to see some fading around high friction areas like where the arms bend, the elbows, and the armpits. The thicker the leather, like steerhide or horsehide, the more beautifully "vintaged" the jacket will look.

I hope you got something good quality? Cheap leather jackets never age well.

Also, if you want to get rid of that sleek, glossy, BDSMish look of a new leather jacket wear it around in the rain. Do this a couple of times. You can even try a light rinse in the shower. Just let the jacket air dry afterwards. Give the jacket a proper leather treatment later on, though.

>Also leather jackets are for autists who wear fedoras.

I have 3 leather jackets. Only got pics of 2 of them on my phone atm.

>>6338920
Ah, and I just wanted to post the back side. I love that impressive back panel. I like how Schott made this jacket with as few seams as possible.

>Leather jackets are autistic. They just look awful. Leather jackets are pretty much costume wear. You might as well wear a clown outfit, because no one is going to take you seriously when you wear a leather jacket. You probably think you look like Marlon Brando, but the truth is that you don't. You actually look like a nerd that is trying to look badass when wearing a leather jacket.
My advice: Leather jackets. Dont wear 'em. Why shouldn't you wear them? They look like shit. All. The. Time. Get real. Stop trying to look cool, because you are not cool and you are not a badass. Wear something else that looks good and doesn't make you look stupid.
The truth is, leather jackets never look good. You should never wear a leather jacket. They are pretty much the fedora-level jackets. Let me tell you one thing. You will look autistic when you wear a leather jacket. Again, never wear a leather jacket. They look like shit.

>>6338920
The leather isn't especially thick, so I'm not expecting it to turn out like the OP pic. How do you tell the quality? It all comes from a cow, r-right?

>>6338953
Take a look at this, it will explain everything you should know:

Hi i was just wondering if you think I should wear a leather jacket? Is wearing leather jackets OK? I look forward to your assistance in this matter.

>>6338988
I lold harder than I should've

>>6338962
I've read the guide, seems to tick all the boxes. The leather is smooth, no weird colours around the seams, gives nicely and doesn't smell weird. Can't find any signage on the garment itself or the website that indicates whether it is nappa or hide

>>6338988

>>6338962
Also, someone should link this on tuxbell somewhere. Was very informative

>>6338988
No. Haven't you heard? Leather jackets look like shit and are only suitable for autistic people. I always wear my leather jacket at the local autism clinic. I like to think that I look like Marlon Brando. It is a very masculine look which exudes confidence and seriousness, unlike a clown costume. I impress all of my autistic buddies with my leather jacket. I pick up all the autistic ladies when I wear my leather jacket. For added sex appeal I wear my fedora too, and I like to tip it at the ladies. So much swooning.

[I'm being sarcastic.]

Beautiful jacket.
Does anyone have any personal experience with http://www.magnoliclothiers.com/ ?

>>6339049
>http://www.magnoliclothiers.com/
so over priced what the fuuuu

>>6339056
~$400 is not outrageous for a leather jacket. It's about average for a decent jacket.

anyone know what brand jacket the guy in front is wearing?

is it a toj?

Didn't want to start a new thread, but since TOJ is stopping indefinitely I'm looking elsewhere for a DR. I'm thinking about a Schott 613 but I'm not sure about the fit and I'm afraid of the dad/fedora-tier fit it might have. Anyone with experience on sizing/tips?

>>6338790
this is dad fit/wild hogs fit. needs to be tight.

>>6339351
You've got to be fucking kidding me.

>>6339155
probably saint laurent

>>6339351
>wild hogs fit
lel I loved that movie

Doesn't look dad fit at all. Either way, mine is trim as fuck.

>>6339249
TOJ is stopping? whut
Also, the Schott lookes nice in terms of the quality of the materials, not too expensive, but I doubt it was being reviewed by /fa/cists. Also, the star on the epaulette is a bit fedora tier

>TOJ is stopping? whut
Drew is going on about his restaurant, just like he did the same time last year for the summer hiatus. He says there's a chance he can do both depending on how he feels a year from now. Who knows. I don't think he's going to pull the cord, no matter what he says. He'll probably freeze the catalog and put that Charly guy or whoever in charge of day-to-day operations.

So yeah. This is the one I've got.
