Double rider, cafe racer, bomber, flight or highwayman? Which is the most based?

>>17493832
Double rider is the worst that's all I know. Best depends on your body type and style


Got my leather jacket at the thrift store. Now on the look out for something red

Collar or not?

>>17493832
I love bomber and cafe rider the most, flight jackets (like b3) are too warm for me

>>17493832
Half belt

Maybe when I'm 40. Haven't seen anything that really calls out to me yet. OP does look decent though. All I own now are Cospa and Strict-G bombers.

>"Nooo!! You can't wear anime clothing!!!"
I'm a 30 year old father of 3, I can do whatever I want at this point.

>>17493846
double rider is great for punk, glam or hard gay styles. it's quite fashionable (slp, rick) if worn with other pieces that are more aggressive. there's no in between as you either need a buzz cut or long hair to pull it off.

>>17493832
Blazer

>>17493832
my vote is on cafe racer and variants, the collar is midway in terms of edginess

>>17493832
dont wear leather if u're not masculine or a hedi twink, u wont pull it off. u see all these skinny fat programmer types wearing leather jackets and they always look like trash.

Can't wait to break in my pleather jacket!

>>17493832
The older I get the more I veer into cleaner and less busy on the details stuff, particulary on leather jackets.
My vote goes for cafe racer for its timeless look and clean lines. But I'd say that the highwayman is a bit more versatile since it can be dressed up a little bit more than the cafe racer, although ypu risk falling into Sopranos core, which can be a plus or a minus depending on what you intend.
Flight jackets are theit own thing and bombers, assuming you mean b3 type, are just for very cold days so can be useless depending in where you live.

I just realuzed I got too many black leather jackets and not a proper brown jacket. I'm looking for either a dark chocolate jacket or a tan jacket, maybe in flight configuration, but don't want to spend much on it. So far I've been unlucky on my thrift shop hunting.

>>17494468
Some newer synthetics aren't that bad visually, but they still fall into "fast fashion" as they degrade within 3 to 5 years.

Any idea where I could order something like pic related in the EU without it being 800+ dollars/euros?

>>17494528
I'd highly recommend to try them on first. Best way to get a good deal is to go to a good local leather goods maker or buying second hand, you will always get ripped off with retailers and boutiques. If you have to buy online I think Aero's are fairly priced but again sizing is the main concern. By going to a qualified maker you can try all sorts of jackets on and see how you look in them and also get advice on the sizing from experts who made them and know how they should fit plus you can also ask them to add minor details during the production. I got most of my leather jackets locally and they mog the other branded jackets I have both in quality and how they fit and I also paid less for them.

i have an old really cheap fake leather jacket can i use acrylic paint to paint some little details on it or do i need fabric paint

>>17494524
Yeah, I ain't gonna lie, if I knew better; I would have done better.

I'm thinking of using multi-shade Blue washes to make it look weathered.

>>17494570
If you do attempt this, keep us updated. Is the jacket nice?

>>17494528
you can either buy an expensive jacket or you can buy a cheap that you think looks as good except everyone can tell because it looks like shit

>>17494468
Problem with pleather is that it ages terribly. Instead of getting a patina, it cracks and peels and once that happens it peels off in big chunks that you'll spread everywhere rendering the jacket unusable.
Even the cheapest leather jacket is better in the long run.

for me it's the A-2 in a horsehide

>>17494924
what's good about hh vs steerhide

>>17494943
denser fiber means finer creases, more water resistance and with veg tan horse you get more patina

>>17494924
Good choice

>>17494943
horsehide is stiffer and stronger in relation to weight/thickness.

does it fit? i feel like it looks baggy on me and lacks shape, but if i went any smaller the sleeves would be too short

>>17494957
>white beard
am I not the oldest on this board?

Does anyone know where I can get a B3 shearling jacket that is decent quality without being more than $400? Doesn't really need to be actual shearling just a nice leather jacket in this style. I've found a few but I'm afraid they're Chinese garbage. Any help would be appreciated.

>>17495043
400 is too little for a good b3

>>17495058
What's a good price for one?

>>17495043
That is based of or closer to a B6jacket than a B3. The B6 is a lighter, less bulky and more fitted version of the B3. The problem is that it's way more uncommon in the repro market, so you're bound to find either chink tier literal Leon Kennedy cosplay jackets or high end repros in excess of 1-1.5k.
>>17495058
Not really. There's decent B3 jackets with real lambskin and shearling in that vicinity, but if that's the budget I'd rather search the second hand market.

>>17495074
is the pic you posted for reference? because b3 replicas look different. Leon wears a b3 in the remake but a b6 in the original, the b6 is less bulky and has lighter shearling. I think Schott has b3s for 1k that are the same design as the one Leon wears in the remake and they're pretty good. if your pic isn't for reference eastman has high quality ww2 era replicas. in general I would thrift shop these instead of buying new though.

>>17493846
You have the proportions of an orangutan

>>17495043
Is it for a cosplay? Don't buy one of these unless you live in the middle of Siberia, I live in Switzerland (so not exactly the hottest place) and I've tried one with just a sweater on and after a few minutes I was already sweating. They're comfy as fuck though.

>that is decent quality without being more than $400

>>17493823
I just got my custom Aero last week. Well worth the wait, it is incredible.

>>17493832
Car coat.

>>17495043
I paid 110€ for mine in a thrift shop. Not real shearling, but a very pleasant faux-fur on the inside. It's even comfortable directly on skin.

>>17495121
I saw her and immediately knew we will marry one day. Please don't bully my future wife.

Cant help but admire the mindset

sexc
>>17494957
yes, looks too big imo.

>>17494924
Yes chromexcel horsehide is excellent

>>17495414
What did you get? I don't like the fit of the 50s half belt so I'm getting the 30s style with flap pockets and gusseted arms.

>>17495671
its actually shinki veg tan

>>17495674
Probably also excellent, I like how heavy the chromexcel is

>>17495647
How can the body be too big but the sleeves are also too short

>>17495673
Teamster in brown chromexel FQHH, with brass hardwear and custom fit sizing.

>>17495702
body fits perfectly snug when zipped and sleeves hit my wrists. what're you on about?

leather jacket
the ultimate tryhard douchebag faggot attire that makes you look like a fucking tool more than any other piece of clothing. Not a single person on erth has ever looked good or cool or interesting wearing a dumb fucking leather jacket.
unless i guess you enjoy walking around town wearing clothes you had to take a fucking loan out on. I mean seriously you arent fooling anybody. You arent rich. Everyone that sees you knows you regret that 25% interest personal loan for 3 grand.

>cries because everything is so expensive and cant afford anything
>inflation is soooooooooooooOOOOooooooooooooOOO bad IT JUST IS OK
>cant buy food
>cant buy gas
>works at mcfastfood
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>buys dumb faggot shit like leather jackets at the end of winter

>>17495730
i bought mine for 15€ at a thrift store

>>17495890
There's always some retard in these threads posting stupid shit like this. Ignore them and they'll go away.

>>17495730
I am rich. I hate homosexuals. I don't wage and a leather jacket is an inconsequential expense. I've bought cheap units from China custom made and I've bought YSL $3000 ones. Cope and seethe. You'll never afford a Rolex or even a Cartier either, let alone an ultra luxery watch. You're the poorfag seething about the price of Tom Ford Tobacco and Vanille, aren't you? Keep wearing your hoodies and basketball attire, this white man is sticking with leather jackets. Your seethe is further inspiration to get another one. I hope the price of gas and food goes up too so people like you suffer. If it was $20 a gallon, I could still afford to drive all I want and wouldn't need to deal with trash like you on the roadways.

>>17495716
Shoulders are too wide, too long, one sleeve is riding way up your arm. Definitely not a proper fit.

>>17495730
I'm not even close to rich, and I can easily afford leather jackets. How dumb and destitute are you that you can't even put aside a couple hundred each month to buy yourself nice things?

>>17495702
Not every jacket is supposed to end at the belt line anon

>>17496634
Look at the shoulders, they're obviously too wide.

>>17495707
Very nice, is it your first Aero?

>>17497005
Yeah, I am quite pleased with it so far. They did a really good job with the custom fitting, so it doesn't feel awkward even though the leather is pretty stiff.

>>17497032
Did you order direct or go through Thurston Bros? I got my first jacket direct from Aero used and am going through Thurston Bros for the current one to get a perfect fit.

>>17497083
I got mine through Thurston Bros as well. Their sales rep initially tried to cram me into a size 40, but we were able to make adjustments from there to dial it in. End result really is a perfect fit.

>>17497146
what leather?

>>17497154
Read the thread
>>17495707

Where can I find a similar jacket like ozzy wore back in the early 70s?

>>17497307
Search vintage '70s peacoats on eBay.

leather is for gays

I bought a black cafe racer from an old Ukrainian lady in Seattle for $50. I don't regret it.

>>17493900
I can't decide if I want to keep my black Levi bomber as-is or mod it into a military sci-fi cringe jacket of esoteric literary references.

https://www.amazon.com/Rothco-Mens-Classic/dp/B019791ANU?th=1&psc=1

Would this be worth it, or would I just wasting my time (and money)?

>>17497424
Absolutely haram

>>17497319
That's exactly why I want one, anon.

>>17497377
>or mod it into a military sci-fi cringe jacket of esoteric literary references.

I'm intrigued

i'm warming up on buying a seal leather jacket

>>17497544
you're lookin to seal the deal? welcome to the club

>>17497544
Gross

>>17497544
the problem with men's sealskin jackets is they always have the same boxy, unflattering cut.

>>17495730
What the fuck disposable income are people like you working with?
im a poorfag on neetbucks and i still have at least 500 bucks a month leftover to spurt on clothes

>>17497544

I'm not a woman, but if i were and I saw a man wearing this, I would be very aroused due to his distinguished taste and overpowering style. This is one type of coat and material that works on everyone, fat, skinny, buff, dweeb. You should absolutely get one to define your style.
Imagine a defenseless and unexpecting cute girl working the midnight shift at a gas station, and you see a early 20s man walk in wearing this, grab a few four lokos, some skoal, and a few dollar scratch off tickets. She'd ask you out.

>>17498480
You sound like a huge faggot

>>17497316
That's not a peacoat

>>17493823
I like my Thursday leather jacket

>>17500012
Jesus get that literal garbage out of here

>>17499968
Correct, but nobody on eBay is going to know that.

>>17500189

>>17500204

>>17500254

perfecto

>>17500204
I actually sell leather jackets on eBay, and can confirm that if you want to find an Ozzy style barnstormer you would get better results with search terms like VTG 70s leather trenchcoat or leather peacoat.

Are leather blazers actually based? Or is this just some dumb meme?

>>17500762
I have never seen a leather blazer look good

>>17500012
i can smell the chemical mystery mutt meat from here

>>17501277
It doesn't even look like leather, if he hadn't specified I'd think that was a cloth jacket

Fucking talon repro on my Aero broke, so I sent it in for a replacement and the new one broke in exactly the same way. Apparently they have a NOS talon option but I might have the zipper on my new jacket replaced by Thurston with a #8 riri before they ship it to me. Apparently aero only offers a #5 because that's what they used back in the day, even though the horsehide was not as thick and stiff.

Kneel.

>>17501133
wrong

>>17502068
Gross. Kys gay retard nigger.

>>17501133
I just like Joe Pantoliano's costume in The Matrix.

>>17493823
not exactly a fan of leather, but I wouldn't mind rocky's.

>>17502386
fauxhawk of jackets

I just want a regular collared jacket like pic rel but every site sells them either at bloated markup or with 400 sippers and buckles on them.

I'm 20 y/o, relatively thin, with a boyish/youthful face imo (I cant grow a beard so im always clean shaven). Could I pull off a leather jacket or would I look stupid? Should I wait until im older?

>>17502396
Get an Aero.

>>17502396
that curtis jacket by superdry and fuckton of other suede variants for around 200-250.

>>17502244
How the fuck would you know what I've seen you braindead faggot
