Looking for leather coats inspirations

Hello,
I'm still looking for my first leather jacket - because I'm tall and slim, not many items fit me (usually they are too short and too wide).

Because of that, I have decided to give Leather Coats a try and found out, I actually like them even more than regular jackets.

I see they are not that popular around here, but do You folks have any pictures of Your items, You could show me so I can get some inspiration?

Thank You!

Not my photos, but for your build something belted might be perfect.

Like an Aero Barnstormer, or Belstaff Panther;

Iirc, @Canuck Panda has/had a number of these longer styles.

@barnabus oh wow, the first one is exactly what I was looking for. Seems like it would be perfect for upcoming winter.
Unfortunately Aero Leathers are too much for my wallet right now, so hopefully I'll be able to find something similar from other, more budget friendly makers. Thank You!

This is a difficult path. If you want a good leather jacket, it's worth looking for a used one. Study the measurements of the jacket that you have and be guided when buying.

I'm a fan of car coat styles, though they can be a little boxy or baggy. Also, a field jacket style is a little longer than flight/moto styles and cut more form-fitting.
