Field leather jacket and untucked shirt

Not at all. Don’t fall into the trap that tells you a leather jacket demands that.

I was talking to someone who said that he really wanted a leather jacket but thought it wasn’t appropriate to wear one without engineer boots. After our conversation he’s been very happily wearing a leather jacket for two years now (without engineer boots).

LOL. Yeah. Threads meander. But in my experience those bends in the river bear more fruit than posting the same content ad nausea bound by a thread title.

Yikes! I would hope people don't think that's necessary. I love engineers, but that came before my love for leather jackets. If you look at photos from the 1930s and 40s, nobody wears engineers with leather jackets.

This is not a costume contest, so anything goes.
You like long shirts, not tucked in and leather jacket? Wear it.
You like leather jackets, skinny jeans and sneakers? Wear it.
You like 40s pants and engineers and modern leather jackets? Wear it.
All that matters is that you wear it with confidence.

That's cool, thanks! I'll have to figure out my style with leather jackets, though... It should be fun

I’m going to open myself for some heavy heat here with this but… I get the tuck thing but I live in Maine. Nobody here wears leather jackets so I’m going to go ahead and set the standard. Since I don’t have a fashion sense this is pretty much my look with any jacket I wear during the winter. These wool shirts are a lot to tuck. I have a FL. I wear the same way. I’ll post pics here when I have a chance. It’s a great piece. BTW I actually did intend to unzip for the pics but forgot.

And I’m shopping for a new hat

Is that a lasso I’m spotting in your picture?

Pretty sure that’s a dog leash

Best single post I've seen in ages.

No, wrong part of the country (to generalize). It’s a dog leash. It would be quite a fashion statement up here though.

I like your shirt, looks like something that I'd wear

It’s a Pendleton wool. Can be had on the used market for much less than new, obviously. It’s tough to tell what condition they’re in though.

I am a tucked shirt guy most of the time. But sometimes I untuck. I am sure there are vintage photos where guys would worn shirts untucked under their jackets.

Just locked in my build spec wtih Sam. Highwayman with splay collar.

I think untucked shirts look best with jackets when they just barely stick out, an inch, maybe two max. Like on the pic above and many from @MrProper . But that requires a whole new level of coordination

That’s my thinking. If the untucked shirt sneaks out past the jacket more than a couple of inches, the shirt is tucked or changed. I normally wear my jackets zipped up, so tucked in or out is not any sort of fashion statement. I like them out for comfort and to sometimes help with concealed carry.
