what kind of shoes with a leather jacket

[Swoosed]

I usually wear white sneakers with my jackets, might be too 90's but i was wondering what the rest of the world wears with thier leather jackets...

 

[Feraud]

I wear boots on the weekend and dress shoes during the work week with leather jackets.

 

[Damon B]

Yep its trainers for me too or work boots, Cats, Timberlands etc.

 

[Stanley Doble]

I prefer leather shoes of the same color.

Boots.

I only wear boots, and I am a firm believer in matching your leathers unless they are drastically different.

For example i will always go black engineer boots with my black jackets and brown engineer with my brown jackets.
On the other hand i think that you can get away with mixing tan and black, or cordovan and black...

Like this IMO looks good because they are so far apart.

And i will sometimes wear a cordovan belt with black leather jacket and black boots, but never brown with black.

But mostly i wear black or brown engineers (Frye or Redwing) or my Redwing 877

This, to a tee.

I alternate leather dress shoes and cowboy boots during the week, and generally wear casual shoes on weekends. As a rule, I try to match belt, shoes (boots), and general color with leather jackets. I don't intentionally mix black and brown.

My style goes like this;

Leather flight jacket + khakis = chukka boots

Biker leather jacket + jeans or khakis = engineer boots

Suit + tie = regular shoes, never boots

 

[Surferbruce]

Yeah boots, but some tatty old Converse All-Stars always work too.

I would never wear white sneakers with my leather jackets .... ...

I prefer leather shoes of the same color.

I prefer the same as you Stanley - with the mighty three colors black, brown, cordovan I like to match the shoes and belts - maybe too snobby or just old school.
Never go with black leather jacket and brown shoes it look somehow wrong, strange and inappropriate.



Oh sh** I've forgotten to take the cordovan belt, sorry for that...:eusa_doh:

This is exactly what i mentioned earlier in the thread!

IMO this really works with a black belt, and i actually think that it would be to much with a cordovan belt!
I don't own cordovan jackets or boots, but i like to do the opposite of what you did there, black jacket and boots with cordovan belt...

This brings up a question i have had for a while, why would makers do two tone leather jackets, usually black and brown, if rule number one is don't mix leathers?

Just 'who' determines that this is rule number one..??

Thanks Carlos - maybe your right regarding the belt - three times of cordovan could probably be too much...

Boots = western, Iron Rangers, Bean Maine Hunting Shoe, hiking, etc. or Converse Chuck Taylors or PF Flyers,

I'm with AeroJoe on this

 

[Swoosed]

i had to buy some black sneakers today...i sometimes wear brown boots too.

 

[bretron]

Now, that's what I'm talking about!

Some of my general go-bys: engineers look funny with A2s, burgundy #8 shell can be tough to match, beat up ol Chucks look great with everything, and ALWAYS avoid looking too matchy-matchy (eg matching jacket, belt and boots)!

Well, I've only had my brown Aero for a about a month now and it's winter here, so I've been going with some dark brown Red Wings. I did wear my "stout" colored Blundstones with it the other day, but that color is very, very close to black. Not sure I loved that combo. When it warms up, I'm sure I'll wear my Jack Purcells with it.

Jack's look in those pics is sharp as hell, I must say!! Those jeans are awesome!
