looking to get my first leather jacket for the holidays. i did some research but cant decide, simply because ive never worn leather before in my life.

opinions on stiffness of leather, hoodie/no hoodie, colour, shinyness etc? im about 5 ft 9 generally wearing small/medium sized shirts and hoodies.

pic related to my mentality.

No hoods. If you want a hood layer it over a hoodie, dont cut corners.

If you are gonna wear a leather jacket, be honest with yourself and decide if you are going to look like a colossal fucking autist/poser in it or not. If not, go ahead.

also leather breaks in after a while, so once its well worn it will be very comfortable and if you got it in the right size, will fit your frame great.

Bandit made a good point though; that the majority of people/fuccbois who buy leather jackets buy tacky, cheap, ill-fitting ones and almost universally do so - consciously or unconsciously - as a costume piece. Which is autistic, and going to make you look like a fuccboi

>>7374733
Also I feel your suit example is a bad example to use, as it's not the kind of thing people wear around as casually/generally as you would a leather jacket. And if you do, it's almost certain to look autistic.
And suits really need to be well-fitting to look good, otherwise they can look pretty autistic (ref. above)
And workwear is usually exempt from /fa/ critique anyway

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.

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.

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.

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.

I also want to say that your spelling of "Ghenghis Kahn" is atrocious. It's spelled "Genghis Khan". Read a book, or even a Wikipedia article or something. You are stupid, and you wear leather jackets.

Good night, everybody. I hope that you all stop wearing leather jackets someday.
