personal opinion,
leather jackets exaggerate.
If you look like a tool, you're gonna look like the biggest tool.
If you look like a dadcore kinda guy you're gonna look so damn classic rock.
Leather jackets almost are never worn in correct fits.
I would personally wear something (or at least a smile) to round out the caricature side of the jacket by wearing something affable with it. Also please by colours complementary to your skin etc., preferably minimal

Well I have wide shoulders and a bulky physique. Tall. Go to the gym too. I noticed that my shoulders now look ultra-wide. But it is probably a good thing and not ridiculous/cartoony I hope.

Any obviously brand new jacket, without a motorcycle and accompanying safet gear - I have money, but not a sense of logic.
new A2 bomber - poor Republican dipshit
black A2 bomber - slightly less poor Republican dippshit
used A2 bomber - normal human with a jacket made of leather
Scrap composite - 50 year old who wants to get the vintage/used look, but doesn't want to be seen in a thrift store.
Perfecto - looks like a dipshit unless you are on a bike with accompanying safet gear.

The only none bike jacket is a novelty letterman, which only has leather accents.

That;s fine, but pair it with chinos of no darker color than peanut butter, otherwise the black leather on dark trousers will make you look like a fedora afficianado. Pair with a seafoam, or pale green, shirt. [tucked in] don't let the leather dominate the look.

A2 or G1 jackets are great.
Big fan of the shearling bomber jackets of all kinds. Probably the best, simplest one is the D-1 jacket which was actually issued to ground crew engineers and such working in the winter.

Shearling Bombers usefullness in the Airforce was extinguished when cockpits were pressurized after WW2, no sense in wearing a bulky jacket then.

And warmer. I like both. However, I am not the guy you were responding to above, but I prefer the G-1 jacket. It's got a mouton (or synthetic) fur collar, but it is mostly similar to the A-2 in warmth and shape, although it has bi-swing back on the rear of the jacket, instead of a flat A-2 style panel, meaning the arms could more easily move up and around.

i think that most people can wear leather jackets but wearing the wrong leather jacket makes you look like a tool or a babby or both. try on different styles at the mall or something until you find one that suits you and then look online for a jacket of the same style in quality leather

I love my a1, but you need one that suits your appearance
Would probably avoid one with a bomber collar, just looks very weird contrasted with the extra width of your body in leather
Probably avoid perfectos unless you want the cookie cutter slp look, other styles look better on more muscular guys

Cockpit US makes good stuff, it's not 1:1 historical accuracy(pattern is correct, leather is a little softer and color isn't quite there) like you'd find at Eastman Leather(UK) of Aero Leather(UK), but it was my cheapest option for a very nice jacket.

Might make a vid if I have time, I'll try to do more research so I have something interesting to say. Supposed to arrive Monday, hopefully in the morning or I'll miss it.
