Post pictures of your jacket collection

[Monitor]

And leaving the... Well, not the best but certainly the priciest for last, here's my latest & hopefully last, addition - Carol Christian Poell leather coat.

Once I transferred the amount of money to the seller that would've gotten me a shitty car, it struck me that I've bought the exact same thing sixth time in a row, but thank Heavens and DHL Express, before I managed to un-alive myself, it turned out this is a coat of a sort so it's nothing like any of the previous ones.

Right?

Anyway, what can I say about this coat? It's a black leather coat.

I won't get into whether or not is CCP worth the money & if so, why. Same as I can't really explain why I believe this thing ought to cost as much as it does. Same as I can't really explain what exactly makes it entirely different & unique to anything I have seen so far, even though there's nothing different & unique about it because... It all could just be me.

But the matter of the fact is, it is a black leather coat, made from very heavy horsehide, one that fits me very well & one that enjoy wearing. Nothing else matters, I suppose.

Enjoy the photos and that's about it for today.

My collection (if you can call it that) consists of one leather jacket .

I’ve tried a bunch of makers and styles over the least several years, and they either didn’t fit the way I had hoped, or they didn’t suit me.

This is my one and done (as far as leather jackets go).

The Good Wear Hercules: Italian dark seal, talon zips, Sunback lining, flip up cord collar, original repro labels etc. he even signed the inside pocket for me

Your entire collection is pretty darn nice. Even all the labels are among my favorite.

I think its certainly unique, so full credit for that, and if you are by chance looking to get cast in any new Mad Max film you'll have the edge.

That light brown 5* looks incredible- definitely punching above it's price point.

Also great photos- side by side in great lighting

At second glance, it does look like deer leather, roadkill deer leather. Only $4.5k lol

We have a more appropriate thread for these:

Most important thing is you like it. With jackets which are more out there, you will get more divided opinions (more criticism, but also more compliments). But, as long as you like it and it fits in with your aesthetic m, rock it proudly

Cheers.
I'd be hard pressed to pick a favourite but it would probably be one of these. Or the Rockafella.
Good thing I don't have to choose.
