    Recommended blogs & resources to learn about leather jackets

    Thanks so much for your in-depth opinion Canuck! I believe Moto(r) is a pretty old Japanese company, but it's lesser known outside of Japan. They use Horsehide leather from Italy. The Ponyboy is definitely one of my favorite contenders, although it seems slightly long on the torso. Tenjin is...

    I'm located in London. So there's Schott and Lewis leathers. Then there are Americana stores like Clutch cafe, Rivet and Hide... Would you mind elaborating on your opinions pls? I want to agree, but it's hard to if you don't justify them. " For instance, you've got all those people telling you...

    Same, I quite like them too. I mean, all we're geeks here it seems to me. The allure of the aging process is nothing new, but it's a matter of opinion I guess.

    Cool story man! Young people like me take forums like this for granted. I was complaining that even now, there aren't enough resources on the web ha! This is the level of attachment I want to have with my clothes, and what got me into heritage clothing in general. Looking forward to seeing your...

    Hi Monitor, Thanks for your refreshing opinion! I am obsessing too much, aren't I? I only have the budget for one good jacket so I'm trying to make sure it's the right one. Who knows, maybe I'll become a millionaire one day and start a collection ha! But You're right, in the end, it's all...

    That's a great idea! There is a similar jacket from Double Helix Works that looks quite nice. Regarding the color, I would love to wear a tea-core jacket. Given my budget, other color options will have to come later.

    I see. That's such a shame. It means that I can't try them on before making a custom order online. That's the most important thing for me. Never heard of Peter's Tailor though, will check them out tnks.

    Thanks for the tip haha. I was kind of drawn in by the passion that you guys radiated when talking about jackets ... It's almost like a subculture of sorts. I'll probably just buy a few books on leather jacket history to learn more. I tend to be obsessive with these sorts of things. I spent 20...

    There is a Schott and Lewis leather in London too. Are the Japanese ones different or better? I kind of subconsciously outed Schott because I didn't want something too classic/standard, but more something between unique and timeless.

    Recommended blogs & resources to learn about leather jackets

    Maybe it is the wrong place. But is it really that hard to believe that I want a jacket that i can cherish for life? I know that leather jackets are already durable by nature, but I also care about the design etc. I wouldn't say I'm fixated on brands. I just happen to have researched more into...

    Recommended blogs & resources to learn about leather jackets

    I have considered that. But I don't really like to wear vintage clothes, especially if they're used. I prefer to break in my own clothes rather than buy worn-in ones.

    Recommended blogs & resources to learn about leather jackets

    Solid advice. It most definitely is unrealistic but I'm hoping that by setting a 'stretch' goal, I'll get a good jacket even if it's not great, much like how aiming for good can get me bad. I'll probably get more jackets but for now I need a jacket that will last me decades. TFL is great but...

    Recommended blogs & resources to learn about leather jackets

    Thanks! I'll most likely go for a cross-zip; although there are many different types. I have already read several blogs, videos, interviews, and TFL but none of them are comprehensive enough and are generally filled with sparse information about specific things. I was hoping there would be a...

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    T Thanks for the reply. How can I tell whether a jacket has a good pattern? Do I just put it on and see if it fits me well? Whether it flatters me, and whether it's comfortable to wear?

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    Hi, new to the forum :) My question is: What do people mean when they talk about patterns in leather jackets? Is it referring to the design? If so, isn't that subjective, to some extent? I often hear people talk about Japanese brands that have "bad" patterns ... Thanks in advance, Livio
