would prefer something thick that will really patina nice i think, rather than a thin and fragile type
big fan of this one from bode, also love the Lemaire 23 blouson which I’m sure you’re aware of

Cinch back blouson in black calfskin
"This baby is SUPPLE and sleek. The details are minimal but really make the jacket, the snap scallop pockets, the cotton/cupro liner and the elastic back bring an attitude in true LEJ fashion."---Kenshawn Details 100% calf leather; 50% cotton, 50% cupro lining Zip-front closure with polished ring zip; adjustable snap c
it's so pretty
doesn’t get much better imo
beaut collar
so buttery...
whew
but yeah im gonna keep an eye on this thread i need help too lol
others I’ve considered are taiga takahashi, ssstein, yoke
I love some of the silly stuff from doublet too
I’m getting weirdly more open to brown leather though black is also possible
cinch leathers are insane
Juun.J if the price isn't a barrier
You probably saw this post but its been my goal to find something similar to this https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1116800072093532191/1357026603200282644
we on a similar journey I think
i think shrimp my rides jacket is also incredible
whats up with juun.j, ive seen the brand stocked at some of the most boring places imaginable
some stuff ive liked
but is it like good good good?
designs are great, RTW clothing quality is all over the place, but the runway stuff is nice. I don't think any of the western stockists really buy anything but the fairly basic stuff though, that's why availability is so bad
Plus can't really proxy from korea easily
this is lac demure i believe
yeah it is
Stuff like this is nice https://upstairsgarments.com/products/aw11-juun-j-detachable-layered-double-rider-leather-jacket?gQT=1

AW11 Juun.J Detachable Layered Double Rider Leather Jacket
Emerging from the ever-shifting landscape of South Korean fashion, Juun J has carved a path where precise tailoring collides with the raw, unfiltered energy of the streets. At the heart of this movement stands Jung Wook-jun. He sharpened his craft at Esmod (École Supérieure des Arts et Techniques de la Mode) Seoul and
sold out and none on grailed
but I will persist
but def paying for design over pure leather quality vs the other stuff thats been suggested
demure
dang ik u can find a jkt like that
o yeah that cool
yeahh just wish they had better international stock, this was fun too
think this is balenci that I have saved?
like the big ol shoulders it’s a cool silhouette
balenci leathers are engame
i have
so many that i want
and none are findable for under 2-3k lol
this is spring 23
mud show
but yeah, taxi bomber is like a grail, kinda ruined bc kanye wore it but it's so good
lol I think of it as the Ye show (if i got that right?)
it is
oh yea
it was their first show after the controversy
the balenciaga fall 2017 bernie jacket is also goated lol
stein nice silhouette
not sold on sleeves tho
i really enjoy the elastic within the leather
rather than the alternative which is usualyl those cotton or wool elastic cuffs/hems
the TT leather is insanely nice. you've probably seen Xen's button-up jacket already? hes worn it in person a couple times we've hung out, ive been trying to track one down for ages :nooooo:
i like some leather stuff Man-tle and Auralee have done
yeah xen's is really cool. i prefer their zip styles but the leather looks great
man-tle and auralee are also both good shouts
I have nothing constructive to add i just love a heckle qna because it's always "best x" and it's filled with the most fucking fire suggestions
One of the better "bang for your buck" leather jacket companies is Avi Leather in Denmark
but if you want vintage/used, i'd sift through this forum -- not the friendliest folks in my experience, but they know their shit https://www.vintageleatherjackets.org/forums/vintage.7/

Wayman Jacket - Brown Italian Calfskin Leather
The Wayman Jacket is our perfect daily jacket. It's meant to be a combination between a Type I denim jacket and a chore coat, but with the added benefit of two patch hand-warmer pockets and two incredibly useful phone and wallet sized interior pockets. Wayman is on the shorter side, designed to sit just below your wais
throwing out my friend and colleague michael stricklin's jacket for you to consider
i don't know that he has many of these left but worth looking at nonetheless
i think this might be only in womens but ive had this 2018 ralph lauren one pinned forever
juicy
@Shrimp my Ride can you remind me where your leather jacket is from
Rainbow Country Hercules
damn its so good
I love the cut because it does not hang loose in the back. Thinking horsehide also a great leather.
And this style of jacket can be dressed up or down
yeah the leather looks like it has so much depth
whewww
Might not be your vibe but I've seen some mister freedom leather jackets in person and they are all phenomenal
More of a denim head brand tho
this one allegedly came in a size "40W" that had a 61 cm P2P
100% agree though dang the repro/denimhead brands are probably mostly gonna be too slim for my tastes
id still entertain them though if they have something a lil funky
"blank ym"
shinya kozuka...might wait to see what they put out next FW
this prada jacket was cool too
This is not the Hercules, as mine doesn't have the lower set of pockets. I prefer it that way, just because of the simplicity. Though this jacket also rocks!
second the rc hercules
ive got one and the fit is the best thing lol
how we feel about these oversized double riders
bery juicy
where from? secondhand?
all secondhand listings but julius, rick, doublet
i think i like the doublet shape the best but im betting its the "worst" leather of the 3
Def a fan
lol is that a jumbo stoog
Sometimes I think the shoulders/upper back/neck area looks a lil weird on jackets like #1
yeah they want 1 billion dollars for it
how so? i guess teh shoulder isnt really dropped on that one and i didnt notice
this is allegedly the same jacekt
pic 2 looking a little funky i agree
That looks p good
Idek it’s just a taste thing sometimes I think they sit awk without the dropped shoulder
nah i can see how that might happen i agree
But it looks pretty great in those pics
Probably is a sizing thing more than anything
kinda crazy that the rick costs like 4k second hand and the others are <1k
or ssense has a jumbo cropped stooges for 4.7k
i dont think im ready to drop that kinda money on a single article of clothing tbh
these loewe painted biker jackets are crazy
oh yeah those are nice
stooge prices have tanked a fair amount but jumbo stooges still go for a loooot
doublet also did this painted jacket but its a bit too sillly for me
https://www.ssense.com/en-ca/men/product/rick-owens/pink-porterville-jumbo-luke-stooges-leather-jacket/15859751 cheap if you want one in pink though!
dear god
i have thought about it....................
@sethward also probably not your thing but there is a red balenci leather on grailed for ~600 https://www.grailed.com/listings/74123851-balenciaga-blncg-news-24-7-leather-oversized-made-in-france-jacket
