What style is this leather Jacket Similar too?

[mrrosenthal]

This is my friends, custom made , low quality leather jacket.
It looks great on me with a slim fit. I'm 170 lb 5'11.

What manufacturer provides a style similar to this?
Notice the curved midsection, smaller collar and nice curved lines.

Wawawewa, this is truly one of the most fantastic leather jackets ever created. Amazing what robots can do these days.

Nathan, how's that new rule coming along?

This is my friends, custom made , low quality leather jacket.

I hope they are really low quality.
I think I'll order two of them. One as a replacement.

Thanks...

but seriously, any recommendations of a company that makes a similar style? not talking about the leather or quality, but the style.

Hey the guy might actually be "legit" he's asking what this jacket might be a knock-off of. In other words... what REAL jacket inspired this knock-off. What's the harm or would telling him only lead to them using this information to further their "rip-offery"?

I never quite understand how you know when some one is trolling,spaming, not a real member (what ever that means). Why not give him the benefit of the doubt, have a little faith in people. Afraid I cannot help him/you with the question, don't know enough about leather jackets. Try Aero leathers plenty of choice there.

Very similar in style to a 1950/1960's Lesco Leathers cafe racer - they were based in NYC and produced this jacket and a few others some similar to those produced by Schott. Similar quality to Schott. See this link for one that just Sold on eBay.

And I spend 3/4th of my time in Delhi, the rest in Europe, have also been at 2 posts not so very long ago, guess I'm not legit either.

To the OP: no real idea but you could indeed check out Aero. If you're slim and like a sleek look, consider the café racer style jackets or the '30s style half belts. Stay away from any 50's design and from the coats because they tend to be boxy, as I (5ft10, 160lbs) have found out to my detriment. Be very careful about sizing, do research here on the site, Aero is tricky that way. Or take a look at the models on offer at Alexander leathers, they offer more customisation options as far as size goes. There's a lot f info here, read up and good luck.

Hi the generic style is 'cafe racer' but manufacturers may call it something else eg Alexander Leathers call theirs the 'dirt rider'
Aero Leathers sell this style as do Vanson and Schott and others. It is made in a variety of leathers and the quality and styles fit and zips etc. will vary between makers. If you have a look at the above manufacturers web sites you will be able to choose a couple of favourites and then maybe ask Fedora Loungers which are their favourite Cafe Racer style jackets.

tks, thats the exact jacket it seems

question , in terms of quality durability and longevity whats the difference, having a jacket stiched from one piece compaired to 2

tks for the info on 30s vs 50s of.that type.

i want to buy my first jacket slim fitting and stylish but i dont want pay designer prices and low quality. i will wear it for casual business meetings, going out, dinner and im not a very careful person when it comes to taking care of my clothes

also, im not a robot, i know who FDR is

It won't matter how many pieces the thing is made from as long as it's reasonably well made. You might try looking at a brown Schott slimfit cafe racer 660 it is cut in a similar fashion. It's a copy of a jacket from that era.

Very generally speaking, the more seams, the cheaper the jacket "should" be. Larger hides used to produce jackets with less stitched seams, cost more.

Realistically I don't think it would have much of an impact of durability though. I would assume the type of leather would be more important in that regard, if you don't "baby" your clothes, just stay away from lamb and you should be fine.

I don't know what a casual business meeting looks like because I've never participated in one (always suit and tie here) but if it means wearing a suit jacket that will severely restrict your options as those don't pair well at all with slim fitting / short leather jackets. If it has to be worn over a suit I'd recommend (in Aero) the Teamster or the Cheyenne/Barnstormer coat, one of the only coats that can have a slim fit to stunning effect. To muddle the waters even more, here's what I'm having made now by Aero (for Thurston in the US, you can order from them I guess but I contacted Aero directly and they'll make it and ship to Europe, it doesn't show up on their site though: http://www.thurston-bros.com/#!aero-maxwell/c22sz). Called the 'Maxwell', looks a bit less biker and can be made slim fitting (at least I hope so, we'll see when I get in in about 4 months). Don't worry about longevity if it's well made, I'm hard on my stuff too but my horsehide jackets seem to positively thrive on abuse.

Once again, be exceedingly careful about sizing and ask for measurements, do not under any circumstances rely on label size alone.
