This is my favorite part of the jacket. This is the magic of folds and colors

Good morning folks I need your collective advice.
Yesterday I received my first MC jacket (purchased via classifieds, thanks think zot)
When I first starting coming here I did not get this style of jacket, however as time wore on and seeing you guys all looking so very cool, my mind has been changed.
The epiphany jacket was the flat head double rider that was for sale (slightly too big) but since then I have been smitten.

So my question is, can I wear this without screaming mid life crisis?
I generally prefer collars up on jackets (product of eighties teenager), but with this style can it be done...

You look amazing in this jacket, it suits you and transforms you. Very cool!!!

That jacket looks great @Whitters !

This is a jacket from an Indonesian brand called Old Blue Co. The fabric is a deadstock USA plaid fabric that I really dig and is light enough to wear on some summer days.

I was never entirely sure I understood the concept of a midlife crisis & what actions we take reflect it and it certainly doesn't sound to me as if wanting to look good should be a sign of something with such a negative connotation... So if that's the way you feel, no, you can't.

Time for the above the waist khakis, over-sized shirts and socks and sandals.

If you think you look great in this jacket, as you should because you really freaking do (my first thought when I saw the photo was why can't I ever look this cool and natural in a cross zip!) then yes.

Which is to say, wear that damn jacket!!!

I don't get the "Am I too old to wear this" questions because what's the alternative? Conforming to how people expect you should dress for, sigh, your age? Funny how the negative comments always come from people who never actually learned how to dress.

You absolutely rock this jacket. Looks great! So cool! Imo, you can wear a leather mc jacket and look cool no matter what age you are. As long as it's not some cheap mall jacket.

Awesome purchase. That jacket was on my radar. I'd put on a shorter, white t-shirt with that jacket and call it a day. Would be perfect with those jeans and sneakers.

@Whitters, you totally pull it off. Looks very natural on you. I think I've said this before, but imho you’ve got a bit of a Lou Reed vibe going on which pushes the cool meter up a few levels.

As far as dressing like a mid life crisis goes I think it’s totally a thing. I believe the determination as to if one is doing it has to do with intention rather than the selection of a particular garment. If a middle aged man chooses a particular garment because he really likes it, appearances be damned, then he is mature and secure. If he chooses a garment to appear younger or create an illusion of cool then it’s a mid life crisis. Only the individual involved may know for sure. Other potential indicators may be a red sports car and a new lady friend 20 years junior, both of which look sort of fun until the crash.

I think you totally rock it when worn open, can't see why you can't pop up the collar.
besides with brown color, and buttoned cuff, it looks more pilot than biker.

 

[Whitters]

Thanks guys, I am overwhelmed by the love and positivity.
I will wear it with confidence, collars up!
I will however cancel the sports car down payment, and my partner will be pleased that I will not be trading her in!

Finally it’s jacket weather again. One of my vintage Swedish goat jackets today. They both have so much character, I’m starting to like them more and more lately.

Agreed, Lou Reed can wear whatever the f*** he wants. Maybe tuck in the tee, but otherwise you got this!

Jacket swap. Enjoying some tennis in the beautiful weather.

I lol’d hard on that one.
