Only if you want to look like pic related.

A leather jacket isn’t a garment, it’s a mistake. A goofy looking mistake.

Look at anon wearing a glossy black-cowhide jacket and you can almost hear the dialogue that goes through his head: “I can’t pull off a leather jacket. Wait a minute. You know what? Screw it. I’m going to be the guy who looks good in one. Wait a minute. Does this fit right?”

You can picture him slipping it on, looking in the mirror, and thinking to himself, “Nice”. What he failed to consider is that a leather jacket makes a statement. Despite the jacket’s fit or design, the statement is not a flattering one. Leather jackets are synonymous with the movie icons of the previous century. Images of the bad boys, James Dean and Marlon Brando come to mind. Younger men, trying to sex up their image, try to emulate these movie icons. Leather jackets have, essentially, been relegated to costume wear. No matter what kind of leather jacket you wear, someone will think, “Wow, he’s trying to pull off the Marlon Brando look.” What does this mean? It means that you cannot be taken seriously when wearing a leather jacket.

But you might think, “Leather jackets are timeless! They can be pulled off! Post a fit, fuccboi!”
My answer: No. Leather jackets are costume-ish. Costume-ish is precisely how the cowhide jacket looks on a hapless fool from /fa/. It’s time to get real. Leather jackets don’t exude coolness or sex appeal. They are tacky and are doomed to clichédom. In the collective subconscious of /fa/—despite ample evidence to the contrary—is the idea that leather jackets appeal to girls. On the contrary, walk down the street in a leather jacket and every girl will perceive you as a threat or entirely pathetic. She will avoid you. She will imagine you as a greasy creep that might possibly grope her ass, or even worse, a greasy little nerd that wants to look like a badass. A leather jacket is a mistake in first impressions.
When a leather jacket is thrown over an outfit, it serves as an event horizon; the point of no return. That leather jacket instantly ruins the outfit, and it testifies the poor fashion sense of the wearer. Leather jackets never look good. Never wear a leather jacket.

You learn pretty quickly. I'm posting my other pasta:

Leather jackets are autistic. They just look awful. Leather jackets are pretty much costume wear. You might as well wear a clown outfit, because no one is going to take you seriously when you wear a leather jacket. You probably think you look like Marlon Brando, but the truth is that you don't. You actually look like a nerd that is trying to look badass when wearing a leather jacket.

My advice: Leather jackets. Dont wear 'em. Why shouldn't you wear them? They look like shit. All. The. Time. Get real. Stop trying to look cool, because you are not cool and you are not a badass. Wear something else that looks good and doesn't make you look stupid.

The truth is, leather jackets never look good. You should never wear a leather jacket. They are pretty much the fedora-level jackets. Let me tell you one thing. You will look autistic when you wear a leather jacket. Again, never wear a leather jacket. They look like shit.

How feasible is it to wear an actual motorcycle jacket normally? I do actually ride. Thinking of copping pic related, normally it's €300,- to €400,- but this is from a store that went bust so it's only €75,-.

No, I wasn't molested. But in my childhood there was a monster that lived under my bed, and that monster wore a leather jacket.

Every night he would come crawling under the bed and would start lurking around my room. The air around my bed would smell like cowhide, it was stifling. Whenever he moved, his stiff leather jacket would creak and squeak. It was horrible. He would tell me, "If you get off that bed I will eat you and I will stuff all your bones in the pockets of my leather jacket!"

This beast was truly a tyrant, every Friday was "Fedora Friday". He would try to incorporate fedoras, trilbies, and bowties in his leather jacket fit. The monster sported a thick, scraggly neckbeard. What made matters more horrifying is that he would read anime / manga comic books in my room at night. This beast was an autistic abomination.

Whenever I see someone wearing a leather jacket, I see the monster.
