Most of this board's users are underage faggots that can't afford leather jackets.

>> No.10693008

They are masculine and imposing and people here would rather look like asexual skeletons

>> No.10694338

they can be done well but they can also look really bad. A minimal, classic leather jacket is timeless but context is everything.

average fa hivemind is too poor to afford a nice one or too young to pull one off without looking like they're playing dress up

Beause /fa/ has no last bit of taste when it comes to timeless fashion that looked good in the 50s, the 70s, 80s, 90s and still today.

To be honest: /fa/ is the worst fashion board on this plantet. Sometimes I think that even some mississippi redneck has more fashion sense than most of /fa/

>>10693008
Exactly.

Leather Jackets of all kinds look manly. And manliness is no thing for /fa/.

Not all leather jackets are bad but alot of them make you look like the lead singer of a post grunge band.

Yeah, if you're younger than 25. Leather jackets are for men and mature looking boys.

Because the vast, vast, vast, vast, vast, vast majority is too poor to afford a good looking one. Leather jackets are the only garment that look like utter fucking shit until youre willing to spend like 1.5k on one.

A shitty fused blazer can still look on point if you have sculpted body. Shitty jeans look good until you washed them a dozen times. But leather jackets? They simply look like fucking ass unless you spent a fortune. The leather looks bad, the grain looks bad, the cut looks bad, the size of the pieces looks bad and so on.

>> No.10695178

It isn't, but it's worn pretty bad and played out by the masses. I guess it deters others not to try it out because they feel it can't be pulled off at all.

If you ever watched That '70s Show when Eric Forman wears a leather jacket and everyone made fun of him and called him the Fonz, but when Hyde wore it everyone thought he was badass, it's sort of like that.

You can pick up really great ones 2nd hand for £300 - which I'd encourage before spending a similar amount on a new one from All Saints, etc.

Too many leather jackets have an abhorrent overuse of pockets and zippers

Leather jackets that aren't at least top grain (>$700 retail) look like wet tash bags

Also, unless you are devilishly charming and/or handsome (since you're on /fa/ you are neither), or at least have a wardrobe of equivalent esteem and worth, you'll look like a dolt

This, actually. I had black and brown leather jackets, both were ~$200 I'd say. It wasn't until I sold both of those, had some residual income to spend and put $1,100 into a respectable jacket. In my experience, if the place has more than 3 of the same jacket in stock, or doesn't offer payment plans to customers who can't afford to pay that day, then it's probably a shitty jacket.

Fun story of an idiot friend of mine:
>outright douchey guy but loves doing that. Richer than snot from neurosurgeon family
>he decides to buy pic related of all fucking things (not in the scope of my view of a good jacket)
>we head out to a hockey game and he's saying "I'll be the only guy in town with this jacket"
>get to the ticket scanning location
>guy in line in front of us has the same fucking jacket, we're laughing like retards at him
>he threw his in the trash can
