Quality Leather Jackets in This Style
I've been on the hunt for the right leather jacket for quite a long time. It's such a big decision and investment.
The photo shown is pretty much exactly the style I'm looking for, in a dark brown color.
But while I respect Lewis Leathers as a brand, I'm not a fan of the big logo on the chest, and getting it removed would be a pain in the butt. Also I do not think this particular style and color is available.
Any recommendations from quality leather jacket makers for something very similar in style?

Looks like a leather type 3, is that right?
This is black but sounds like it fades to brown

Y2 makes a few leather type 2s and 3s
Thanks, but how are their cuts? I've seen some poo-pooing of their patterns.
Thanks. I've never heard of this brand. Who makes them?
Thanks. The pattern looks a bit different, but will give it a look.
I like their type 2s and 3s and their Lee repro a lot
Other than that I do think their patterns are a little meh
Cool, I had seen a rider I didn't love, but will check those out.
Yeah I’m not a big fan of their riders
I think that one was iron heart
Also this one from Aero. I didn't see brown on the site but I think everything they do is MTO so they may do different colours by request.

Thanks, I'll see if they can do it
You're welcome, I realise now that the order process let's you spec which leather and colour you want on the site
How are their jackets in general? Good quality and patterning?
I don't have one myself but have seen a bit of talk about how well made they are. Unfortunately that's as far as my experience with them goes. Sorry I couldn't be of more help
Thanks for the info🙏🙏🙏
