>>7580186

inb4 assbandit shits up the thread

What's your budget m8. Generally for leather your answer should be at least 900 and even that's pushing it.

You can't get a good leather jacket for $300
They are expensive
Save up or get something else

>>7580313
this thread cant get any shittier, 300$ is no budget for a leather jacket

>>7580332
depends if youre getting something new or used

my cloak leather was only 380$ B^)

>>7580332
Ok well, I dont have 900 aside for just a jacket.
This jacket is 295. So, you're full of shit. :) and I have a few others that fit well that were even less. I could care less about brand names. Im looking for Fit/Function nothing more nothing less.

But thanks for you help.

>>7580381
>380

Nice. But secondhand is all luck.

Even roland sands jackets arent 900... Yikes, could you imagine taking a spill? Thats 900 bucks down the drain just to look nice. I think Im asking the wrong crowd here.
Good day gentlemen.

>>7580395
this jacket? the one in your op? i can tell it costs only 300$, it looks like fucking garbage, i wouldnt be surprised if it was 100$ either, everything is so similar in that price range

>>7580395
I'm not full of shit dude. If you want good quality leather AND fit that's what you should expect to pay. If you want to pay less that's fine, but we really won't be able to help much in that price range.

Actually scrap that there is one company my hippy friend said was p.cool, but she smells like hemp so take this with a pinch of salt.

Recycled leather.

if youre motorbiking just buy a fucking schott and be done with it, i dont know why you would try to be fashionable while riding in the first place

I would heavily recommend a Schott 641. It's a Cafe Racer jacket in heavy steerhide. The jacket feels like a suit of armor, and it has a slim v-taper. If you have an athletic build, you would look great in it. It's a slim fitting biker jacket that looks great on and off the bike.

The best thing about cafe racer jackets is that they aren't laden with zippers and belts. Leather jackets look great, you should wear one.

>>7580441
Well because you get off a bike ya dingle. Its not always flattering when I walk into a movie looking like im in a superhero uniform. ;) I guess you wouldnt understand.

I have a few Dianese jackets, for when Im out just riding to tide, its armored for that kind of thing.

Look I asked nicely, and got nothing but condescending attitude. Im obviously not asking the right forum. Goodbye

Personally I'm trying to decide between one of these two. But I'm also going for that washed/worn leather look.

Not the OP, but genuinely curious how you can tell it's cheap? The (bad) fit on the shoulders?

>>7580501
either live with crashing in a 1000$ jacket or live with looking like a retard in a 100$ one, there isnt a middle ground, half assing it wont give you the satisfaction of looking good, or save you money when your dumb ass crashes

>>7580661
well its a hideous frankenstein abomination no matter the cost, all those zippers, fuck off michael jackson. but the overly shiny textureless leather gives it away

>>7580686
Don't act like a t0tal fuccboi bruv
Designer jackets are fragile as fuckk
Actual moto riding jakkits are super strong but have unflatering cuts

>>7580584
how are people falling for the all saints scam in 2014

you do realize its basically zara marked up 10x right?

find a used rick or julius leather smh

>>7580686
on shopgoodwill.com i won a $100 x element motorcycle leather jacket for $20, like >>7580701 said, they are incredibly durable, just unflattering. honestly, buying these motorcyle jackets, then getting them re fitted for the $50 or whatever your tailor will charge you is a very solid option.

>>7580701
thats exactly what i just said

>>7580733
actually jsut read your post wrong, but the second part still stands

>>7580696
James Dean?

>>7580739
looks better on him than it would on some pasty nerd cause hes a hansome celeb

leather is actually nice

has half the zippers and garbage that the one in ops pic does

belt, the shittiest part, is cut out of the pic

still my least favorite kind of leather jacket but 1000x better than the garbage in ops pic

>>7580723
What's wrong with All Saints leather? From what I can tell they have pretty good leather for the price. And their jackets have a unique washed/worn look. Zara doesn't even sell anything but faux leather.

>>7580750
its just shitty ripoffs that try to scam you into thinking they arent shitty ripoffs by selling for 500$ instead of 50$

you can buy the real thing for a couple hundred more

>>7580759
You're still not explaining as to why their jackets aren't "the real thing" or why they are "shitty"...

Find me a similar leather jacket with the washed look for under $800. Good luck.

>>7580764
if you want your garbage ass knockoff go ahead and buy it im not stopping you

but dont say you werent warned

>>7580488
holy shit, bandido gave solid advice for once
what is happening

>>7580488

>>7580791
is that Bandit? He looks great

I don't like the OP jacket. Looks custome-y.

Just wear what you think looks good. It's not worth spending 1k+ on a jacket just to impress some goons on a forum. Shit, i"d wear a faux-leather jacket if it looked decent. but they usually look like shit.

>>7580441
kek "motorbiking" lern to english.
also kek^2 at schott for a proper motorcycle jacket. maybe if it was 1972.. keep ur faggot mouth shut if u dont know what ur talking about m8

>>7580796

>>7580089
check korean made to measure leather jackets. quality is on par with $2k+ designer shit. faggots like trunks wouldn't know good leather if it fucked them in their arse. don't need to be a brand whore with leather. for actual motor cycling riding you want a thick cow leather, double stitched and reinforced if possible at impact points

This is the double rider from Deadwood. I like it a lot more than the one in OP- notice how it has some texture to the leather and doesn't have that overly polished look that some jackets do. It's the same price as the straight to hell jacket too.

I would highly recommend this Kenneth Cole Reaction leather jacket from Macy's. It usually retails for $159. It is made of leather, which I think is cowhide and it looks really sleek.

How's this?

Calfskin Minimalist Jacket with gunmetal zips.

Opting for the 4-zip setup so its less biker-ish.

>>7580821
I think it looks great. w2c?

>>7580488
>>7580836
WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?!

>>7580852
You seem . . . upset.

>>7580820
I hope to fucking god you are kidding.

>>7580855
It's like I don't know you anymore.

>>7580810

Where can I find companies that do this?
Any recommendations?

>>7580821

Looks good. I'd say go with less zipper in almost every case, I hate walking into a place and hearing that jangle.

>>7580820
Lol jacket is ugly as fuck. I'm surprised you didn't by it from rivers, cheap, ugly and bad fit, nice cop.

>>7580862
Don't you worry about a thing. Can I get you anything, maybe coffee or tea? I can toast you a bagel.

Does anyone know of a biker jacket just like >>7580186 & >>7580301 but with brass buttons and zippers instead of silver?

>>7580488
>>7580821
>>7580855
>>7580877

pick one and fuck off

>>7580836
W-what's going on here?

Bandido, are you OK?

>>7580089

$300 probably won't get you a quality leather product you could wear for life champ.

Look into Shoei leather jackets. I'm still wearing my father's one from when he rode 30 odd years ago.

>>7580186

I should also add that looks almost identical to my Shoei one, but probably offering less protection.

>>7580916
Nonnative

Hate asymmetric jackets.

>>7580852
Last night Bandido was visited by the ghost of jackets past, present and future. He has rerealised the error of his ways.

Someone answer this: >>7580881

>>7581259
Schott makes one
TOJ has gold zips
idk what you want us to say. It's not a hard item to find
