200 for a used item mrsp700 is average

I know for a fact this model was made exclusively for Bloomingdales in '12. About 1k on release and 700-850 after the hype ebbed. And the quality of its leather is thicker and just better than anything Schott made before or since release. It has a plain and simple classic moto jacket design. About the only leather coat design worth considering for purchase imo. I guess I'll take the offer and keep it as my 100k mile coat.

I'd have to say that out of the ones I've seen so far, I really like the short collared leather from SS12, the first out of the three jackets I posted in the previous image.

However, I wouldn't be opposed to other styles like a jut neck or a cowl neck. I saw a Julius cowl neck on grailed, but I can't say I'm liking the color as I'd prefer all black. Also, I think I would be wearing the leather jacket zipped up most of the time if I do get one.

I'm 5'9 at around 145 pounds and my tops are usually size small, so I think I'd be looking at size 1s or 2s. I've seen guys put their sell prices at around 700-900, so I would be willing to bargain around there.

Let me tell you a story. My best friend is a handsome motherfucker. I'm not so bad myself, but if I'm an 8, he's a solid 9. Motherfucker looks like Dante with his hair long.

He doesn't like wearing a leather jacket because he says he feels gay. But he looks fucking awesome in one, I lent him my jacket one time because he forgot his wool coat at his place. He looks great in either.

Problem is he wears some really shitty shoes that look like they came straight off a homeless man.

if you're buying a leather jacket the lowest your budget should be is 300 dollars, and you should be looking to cop a schott perfecto off ebay. that's the best leather you'll get in that range

if you're looking for a step up from that i say cut out the middleground and go straight for rick owens. rick leather jackets are the best in the world hands down and you can get them for 6-800 secondhand in respectable condition

But I'm looking for something that not everyone in my area who is also into leather has. There are at least two rider stores near me. All of the riders wear HD and Schott aroud here.

If you want a decent quality leather jacket go with Schott.

If you want a fashionable girly one because muh fashion then go with YSL.

Personally I have the Supreme x Schott Perfecto, I think it's a perfect mix of great quality and a minimalist silhouette without those stupid fucking lapels on biker jackets.

>leather jacket worth something
>undercover
>muh undercover knit riders grailomgzzz

confirmed for being a tumblrcore weeaboo fashionista

undercover is in the fashion business, their leather jackets are made out of cowhide and their designs are for keeping a stylish aesthetic.

schott is an american brand thats been making your pappys leather jackets from WWII, supreme merely changes the aesthetic slightly for the modern look but retains their base silhouette and structure

3 colorways, brown, black, and white.

Apparently the brown is hard to distinguish from the black afar until you look up close but I just have the black one

I really can't think of that many that are good under $1k that are actually decent leather - Schott is one of them, but the fit on those can be really really shit. ToJ is the other, and they sit at like $500 used, but again the fit can be pretty terrible.

The only time ToJ fits are terrible are when people who are fucking retarded did the measurements incorrectly.

They're made to measure, for Christ's sake.

the made to measure thing was kind of a big gimmick, the cuts were never anything particularly good to begin with. the brand only took off because of this gimmick and the fact that he was marketing the brand by buying forum testimonials with free jackets.

>> No.9199055

>>9199020
not very tailor/brand cuts the same pattern to provided measurements

TOJ patterns suck

and it wasn't made to measure

all he did was alter slightly from a factory pattern

>thats what made to measure is dumbfuck

no
no it isn't

drew was called out for not providing made to measure service

and his response "while it may not be real made to measure, i still provide a service where i fit the acket to the owner so no its not made to measure but it's made to your measurements"

bespoke, MTM and tailored mean very very specific things in the clothing world.

none of what you claim to be true
