blackmeans my nig

if it's your first jacket tho don't go with their punk/distressed shit

>>11458620

Rick Owens or Belstaff.

MMM has some pretty solid distressed shit, don't slack on at least giving them a look

No to Rick Owens. Most of the pieces are too directional for a first leather jacket.

Belstaff is good. It depends on the piece (fit, obvious branding etc).

>>11458725
oh, devoa and the viridi-anne make some nice stuff too that's pretty cheap

All Saints all the way

>>11458725>>11458734
This..
And add Obscur, Incarnation

why not just go for a classic look and get a Schott Perfecto?

>>11458729
most, but not all. i'm sure there's a staple in there somewhere in this price range.

>>11458883
Best answer

Curious, what's the least you can spend on a leather jacket without it looking too cheap

go back to plebbit you cancerous faggot
million better options with a 2000 dollar budget

>>11458883
>m-muh american classics!

fuck off

coach

>>11458802
all saints have poor quality leather, construction and fit. good enough to be better than most retail shit but still not worth the price tag.
if you want actual quality just look at the designers the first 4 posters suggested

>>11459119
THIS! So much THIS!!!!1one

>>11458661
Blackmeans makes some pretty dope shit

>>11458883
this is actually the correct response. complaints about the leather quality stem from the fact that this brand is still producing essentially practical jackets; i.e., jackets constructed with extremely thick, durable steerhide for protective purposes. this is actually what you should want out of a first leather jacket, since the whole point is to have something that makes you feel wrapped up and protected that you can get drunk and fall down in and chuck on the floor of your bedroom.
the boxy fit will work well with most masculine-leaning styles, although it won't go too well if you're one of the /fa/ drones who insists on wearing skintight everything and thin tees all day. slap a perfecto over, say, a button-up and some cdg/yohji trousers and it'll look perfectly in place.

>>11458997
depends heavily on what condition you want it in- the aforementioned schott perfecto will cost you 800ish new, but i've bought two rick owens leathers, one in used condition for about 700usd and the other in bnwt condition for about 400usd. the difference being the cheaper one was a less sought-after cut and color.

pretty much any of the leather jackets you see retailing for under 6-800 USD are guaranteed to be shit, but make no mistake, garbage sells for more than that, too. i felt a john varvatos leather that was selling for 3000 dollars or something like that once and it felt like it was made out of papier-mache and trash bags

So I really like some of the blackmeans jackets, but I do not want to buy online. Do I really have to go all the way to Japan to make sure I get a good fit?

>>11460919
I'm 99% sure blackmeans is sold at Haven in Vancouver. Try their site.

does anyone know where i can get an attack on titan type of leather jacket?

>>11460989
It is. P sure Toronto has some in stock too.

Aero leathers

The latest rick show featured cropped leather jackets

I want a leather but I cant decide between
>double rider/perfecto
>moto

I really like perfecto but it kinda screams something and makes me feel moto is a better jacket to be worn casually.

I don't want a bomber as I already have two of those in my wardrobe.

Why the fuck has no one said Lewis leathers yet

>>11461601
Because /fa/ only knows Schott "babbys first leather" Perfecto and Dick Ovens. They literally just found out about blackmeans. Plus Lewis isn't exactly widely stocked.

Also consider Real McCoys, especially their Buco repros.

These are the best answers OP. Try BLK DNM if these options are a little too expensive

Figure I'll ask here. I was actually thinking of picking up a schott perfecto 618 in horse hide which is supposed to be a slimmer cut my question is should I go for the schott or a puerhomme L17 replica for the same price?

Heinz Bauer if you're a classy millionaire.

>Schott "babbys first leather" Perfecto

Is everyone literally suppose to be born being experts about leather jackets? I don't understand

>>11458883
They said quality

>>11462225
>replica costs the same as the legit item

literally what is the point

>>11461601
Damn, these would be great if it weren't for the "Lewis Leathers" chest patch. Is this the best bang for buck option for Eurocucks since made in USA Schott's are kind of hard to come by in Europe?

Will I really get made fun of if I got a perfecto?

>>11462431
No, at least not because of the brand.

>>11462431
No they have such a boring dadbod fit people won't look twice at you.
You might get compliments from old men

>>11462431
it might look a little tryhard in some contexts. I wouldn't wear mine to a supermarket or some shit

What's the best leather for a leather jacket?

>>11458620
Falcon garments is GOAT

>>11462543
pale mint suede

>>11462543
leather made from penis foreskins

>>11462378
Look up both items L17 is a replica of a popular saint laurent piece but no way am I going to pay 4-5 grand for one if I can even find it. I may have worded it bad though it will be the same price as the Schott jacket.

Calf leather real soft and smooth.
