Guys what do you think is the Ultimate Bad Ass Jacket - UBAJ?

I’ll make a start - it’s a thick black CXL HH double rider! And of course it’s a jacket I don’t own yet !!

I think this early 70's pioneer wear is certainly the most " badass " I've ever seen when it comes to suede truckers, but most badass in general is another story.

In general don't I think there really is one most badass jacket.

I think any good quality leather jacket can be the most badass, as long as it's something you've owned and worn for a very long time, putting tons and tons of miles on it while properly conditioning and caring for the leather.

Nobody wants a completely trashed jacket, but one with a very long story to tell that's ready to continue the story for many more years.

I think a 613 or buco j24 style is made from crocodile belly skin (not patched together from many pieces of skin).

Only a human being can be "badass", never an object.... Brando's Durable or Dean's CAL worn by a dadbodied middle aged nerd are not gonna be "badass" at all... If you want a "badass jacket" you need to be one, otherwise is just posing around and maybe being ridiculous. Sad but true

No jacket has made me feel more of a badass than my Peter's tailormade repro by Field Leathers :D just love the design on this beauty.

I also really like the Trojan leather jackets, super cool models!

" badass " has 2 uses, and one of them is to describe an object that you think is the coolest example of that thing you've ever seen.

I believe a jacket itself can most definitely be badass , but that doesn't mean it will instantly make the person wearing it look like a badass or guarantee that it'll even look right on everybody baring the right fit.

The person wearing a jacket can also most definitely make it look badass , the jacket itself may not become inherently badass but a person sure can wear it in a badass way.
