Somebody, somewhere thought that this was a good look. God, what a doofus.

i eat shit and shit gold

A leather jacket isn’t a garment, it’s a mistake. A goofy looking mistake.

Look at anon wearing a glossy black-cowhide jacket and you can almost hear the dialogue that goes through his head: “I can’t pull off a leather jacket. Wait a minute. You know what? Screw it. I’m going to be the guy who looks good in one. Wait a minute. Does this fit right?”

You can picture him slipping it on, looking in the mirror, and thinking to himself, “Nice”. What he failed to consider is that a leather jacket makes a statement. Despite the jacket’s fit or design, the statement is not a flattering one. Leather jackets are synonymous with the movie icons of the previous century. Images of the bad boys, James Dean and Marlon Brando come to mind. Younger men, trying to sex up their image, try to emulate these movie icons. Leather jackets have, essentially, been relegated to costume wear. No matter what kind of leather jacket you wear, someone will think, “Wow, he’s trying to pull off the Marlon Brando look.” What does this mean? It means that you cannot be taken seriously when wearing a leather jacket.

what's wrong with leather jackets?

But you might think, “Leather jackets are timeless! They can be pulled off! Post a fit, fuccboi!”

My answer: No. Leather jackets are costume-ish. Costume-ish is precisely how the cowhide jacket looks on a hapless fool from /fa/. It’s time to get real. Leather jackets don’t exude coolness or sex appeal. They are tacky and are doomed to clichédom. In the collective subconscious of /fa/—despite ample evidence to the contrary—is the idea that leather jackets appeal to girls. On the contrary, walk down the street in a leather jacket and every girl will perceive you as a threat or entirely pathetic. She will avoid you. She will imagine you as a greasy creep that might possibly grope her ass, or even worse, a greasy little nerd that wants to look like a badass. A leather jacket is a mistake in first impressions.

i think it looks nice on the right people

When a leather jacket is thrown over an outfit, it serves as an event horizon; the point of no return. That leather jacket instantly ruins the outfit, and it testifies the poor fashion sense of the wearer. Leather jackets never look good. Never wear a leather jacket.

what the fuck leather jackets are great, it's just hard to pull off
one of my friends is pretty much a punk from the 90s, plays in a band and shit
he looks great wearing them
it's all about the people who wear them

Nope. Leather jackets make you look like a creep.

what jacket do you wear bandido? it better not have a hood lol

>>7109302
Nope. That would be his child-molester moustache, the abornmally big nose, his receding hairline and the fat on his belly

>>7109267
The feels, is this jacket really that bad?

There is a special place in fashion hell for people like this.

This is what you look like when wearing a leather jacket.

?

>>7109313
AWFUL! Get rid of it. Right quick and post-haste. Lend it to your local awkward teenager, he might like it.

People actually buy this.

>>7109313
Doesn't go with those air maxes lol, but no it isn't 'bad'.
Don't let OP's autism get to you

Fedoras and leather jackets are meant for each other.

>but my leather jacket exudes manliness
>look at my stylin poses

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.

>>7109330
no, pls, they aren´t

dude, i don't like them either, but you're being a dick.

Here's Justice giving a fuck about your opinions, OP.

>>7109267
If you're attractive you can pull off anything.

>>7109267
hey welcome back man, what have you been up to recently?

>>7109435
That jacket looks like shit. I can smell the cheap, chemical smell of the leather from here. On top of that, the fit seems off. It appears to be slim fit, but it just looks off.

If you're thinking about buying that, don't.

>>7109444
It's not zipped

>>7109424
If you're attractive, you would do well to not wear a leather jacket.

Think about it, would an attractive person wear a potato sack? Would the attractive person still look attractive wearing a potato sack? I would say no.

>>7109456
As long as it fits well and his body isn't shit it'll look fine. Personally I like sheepskin more but whatevs.

>>7109435
Yeah, dude. You should buy that jacket. It will look soo good on you. I wish I could style that hard. When you get that, promise that you will post a fit pic here. Okay?

>>7109473
All it needs is more taper and a crotch rocket.

Thank god for filters.

>>7109440
>>7109473
bandit pls respond
didn't you say you were traveling or something

What's the matter OP?

Too poor to afford leather.

>>7109486
Yeah, I went camping in the forests of New Mexico. For three weeks. I just wanted to go off the radar. I wanted to get away from the bad /fa/ styles and the leather jackets, so I ran off for a bit.

I also took a weekend trip to San Francisco for shits and giggles.

>>7109483
Thank God I can just remove the trip and post anonymously.

>Ever wearing a leather jacket unless you're riding a motorcycle

OP's right... top groce.

b-but muh hedicore

>>7109708
Who are you, and why do you think that leather jackets look good.

>>7109721
my name is derek. i like leather as a material. i think it ages well, has a good weight to it, and is nice to the touch. if it's constructed well with a slim cut, i think leather jackets look nice.

>>7109281
Those are biker jackets.
Leather jackets come in a plethora of styles and you are narrow-minded and shallow if you think every leather jacket is reminiscent of James Dean.

>>7109745
dude you don't' understand

le bandit doesn't like them therefore they are bad and autistic. Don't you know how stylish he is haven't you seen any of his fits or his jackets?

oh wait...

Bandido fails so hard at trying to convince any one of anything. Everyone just filter him and hide thread. He does this more than once a week because he has nothing better to do, truely pathetic.

and btw bandido, you're the only autistic here for caring so much.

but maybe you're just trolling and trying to get attention? hopefully you are though lol

Of course most people don't look amazing in leather. It's the same reason most people don't look amazing in anything they try on:

Most people aren't beautiful.

Wanna look great in a leather jacket? Be born looking great.
Wanna look great in a biker jacket, with zippers and shit? Lift huge, get huge.

Especially this board, where Bones is populer, nobody is gonna pull off a jacket that weighs as much as they do.

>>7109745
Hello Derek,

While I appreciate your calm and thoughtful response, I must disagree with your sentiment. Leather jackets look terrible. Although leather is the ideal material for shoes and belts, it should not be used for outerwear. Why not? The shininess of tanned leather looks tacky. Also, the designs of most leather jackets look tacky as well. Leather jackets always look like shit. Never wear a leather jacket.

Sincerely,

Bandido

>>7109785
Yes, I am le epic trole. I just learned about trolling in high school. I am so randum and funnay. Trololololo.

Get out of here and never come back.

>>7109399
Although it's a pretty good leather he's wearing, he just can't pull that off when he's like Saint Laurent skinny..

>>7109267

>>7109423
heres justice looking like hippy frogs, even though they make fantastic music

u need to have the personality to pull off a leather jacket

u need to be cool

u need to be urself

that is how you rock leather jackets

>>7109796
lmao

>>7109384
Dont remind me of that!

>>7109791
bandido,

it's ok, i don't believe i will ever convince you to change your ever so strong opinion on leather jackets. i am merely here to represent the other side of the argument for people here who may not yet have an opinion on leather jackets.

why do you believe leather is the ideal material for shoes and belts? does the shininess of leather not appear tacky when used with these articles of clothing? in my experience, the shininess of leather jackets wears away after much use, leaving the jacket with a beautiful patina.

what designs of leather jackets would not look tacky to you? what designs of regular jackets do you enjoy?

>>7109836
Thank you for your advice. That is the best advice a 12 year old could ever give. Thank you so much.

Even though Bandido is mean, I will remember this advice.

how to filter this trip :)

>>7109850
don't bother with him really, his replies are equivalent of a 9 year old with downs.

Dear Derek,

Thank you for your concern regarding the aesthetics of leather outerwear. As you can imagine, this thread has received a large number of negative sentiment. I am sorry to inform you that leather jackets look like shit.

The Anti-Leather Jacket League thanks you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful response. We encourage you to write to us in the future.

Best wishes in trying to pull off a leather jacket. Again, thank you very much, but leather jackets look like shit.

Best,

Bandido

I have a beautiful suede jacket, well two.
But I guess that you only mean "leather" leather or am I wrong?

This won't stop me.

>>7109887
bandido,

it saddens me that we can't have a discussion on this topic because you are an autistic manchild.

maybe one day you will be able to form coherent responses and make valid arguments for opinions you hold dear to you.

much love,

derek

He mirin hard

When I was commuting by bus today, I looked out of the window and spotted an individual, I until then thought was only existing in stories. I was wrong.

Picture the following in the minds eye:
>slender figure
>some metal band t-shirt
>round sunglasses
>black fedora
>black leather trenchcoat with flames and patches on it
>white sneakers

What surprised me most: he didn't even look like he wore it out of irony.

>>7109313
isn't bad no

would be better off seeing a decent pic of it though but it looks fine leather jackets, like every other fucking iconic piece of clothing, are hard to pull off but can be pulled off

>>7110143
its ironic that youre telling a story about someone who only exists in stories so he still only exists in stories

>>7110143
I'm pretty sure the guy who puts his fedora on his head and then does that "gentlemanly" nod goes to my school.

I just don't understand how he's never seen people make fun of him/fedoras online. Maybe he just doesn't give a fuck.

I mean, it's like hes a double tryhard. He's trying so hard to look like a tryhard that he could legitimately do halloween dressed as himself.

Bandit as much as I disapprove of the shitposting, these threads are hilarious. thanks.

to all the insecure fuccbois arguing with bandit (except derek, you seem really fucking cool), leather jackets are fine as long as you don't care about his opinion.

>>7109907
can you think of me for a few seconds too? maybe edge to me once or twice?

thanks,
