Sup, what do you guys think about https://independencebrothers.com/ jackets? Anyone tried them? Custom fit calfskin made in Leon, Mexico for <400 sounds good enough. I've been considering getting either Double Rider or Minimalist Double Rider in black off them. (Minimalist looks worse on photo cause the one they shot doesnt fit the manequin). Which one should I choose and which color hardware do you think will go better? Can't decide between silver, gunmetal and black.

Btw they told me in the chat that most of their instagram pics aren't their jackets, they just post what they can replicate. Kinda pointless if you ask me. The one I posted is their work tho. Heres another one.

I've been interested in in cheaper (<$500) leather jacket brands for a while.

I originally chose a bodaskins jacket, but now I'm not so sure.

Wish someone would compare all these cheaper brands (Allsaints, Independence Brothers, Lac.la, Boda Skins, etc)

I think none of those have mtm option except ID. And since they're sourcing their materials and work from Mexico rather than India/Pakistan now (their jackets were like 250 bucks when they did), the quality should be decent as well. I heard Leon is famous for their leatherwork. Doubt you'll find something made in usa/europe at this price range. So on paper, IB looks better.Looks alright on photos I've been able to find as well. This one is Minimalist Double Rider.

Also the owner of the company did AMA on reddit, looks like he's transparent enough about his business.

I'll be honest man that's really a bad copy of the slp L17 its based off of. If you want a decent leather jacket just go with Reondistrict.

>> No.14059404

Magnolia Clothiers makes custom leather for $545 with more options than IB and other custom leather jacket makers in the slightly lower price range.

They're worth looking into.

Its a copy, they dont have their own designs yet. It's obviously bad compared to $5000 jacket. But if you say it's bad for sub 500 region, you have to explain why.

Reondistrict dont have custom fits, and I need that since I'm 6'3 (which is already a problem) with nonstandart proportions: my shoulders/chest are really broad compared to my waist, regular size looks like crap on me regardless.

>>14059404
Did you try them? Not much info, but I found some reviews which arent great https://www.trustpilot.com/review/magnoliprops.com
They also manufacture in India and Pakistan. IB were 250 bucks when they sourced from those countries, so thats a pass.

With your height its gonna be hard but for normal sized people, look into Acne Studios
You can get their leather jackets for around 500 eur used. pic related sold literally a few hours ago and was only worn a couple of times.

Normal just dont look as good zipped/half zipped in my ophinion. Not sure about slimmer people, Imo leather doesnt looks good on them in general, at least on guys.

>Normal just dont look as good zipped/half zipped in my ophinion
I mean the exact same applies to biker jackets. maybe they look better zipped compared to bomber and normal leather but hardly anyone wears them that way and its not super comfortable anyway.
If you want them zipped you need to have low body fat so your gut does not stand out.

Usually people zip their jackets when it's cold. Arguably biker looks better unzipped as well, idk dude I just like that collar.
