Leather jackets

@twin I know I’m biased, but they’re one of the nicest double rider style jackets available in my opinion.

for what its worth I sold my delraiser...

i regret it quite often

and holy shit @NickD that is quite a collection.

i do enjoy my mister freedom jacket, i think its a campus jacket?

Sorry guys. I had to change the title of the thread. My OCD was getting to me. It's obviously a thread

[NickD]

@Inorganic I love the way those age - how long have you had it? It looks a bit darker than the colour they are when new.

@Giles that's fair comment. Putting "thread" in the title was a bit unnecessary!

Alexander Leather steerhide. Heavy tank with my woolen tartan (weathered Buchanan) interior. About 15 yrs old now and I can only wear with a t-shirt... But that's okay

Simmons Bilt tail gunner in prairie horsehide. Only a year old. Bought in the shop in Moffat. A supple, lovely leather produced in Germany, I understand. Black cotton lining. This jacket doesn't look out of place anywhere in my opinion. Love it.

@Makarwise Alexander Leathers became Simmons Bilt didn't they?

I have one, the Scar Kakishibu chore shirt from Y2 leather in collab with the shop Vancouver. Hoping to add a black motorcycle styles jacket in the future. Have my eyes on the Double helix works innovator at the moment

@NickD yes sort of... but that's a whole big hornet's nest of debate tbh... There was a lot went on there back 15 years or more ago with Aero and Alexanders. Simmons Bilt are really their own entity rather than a morphed Alexanders. Fedora lounge has a detailed account of all that happened if interested.
Debs from Simmons Bilt is just the best customer service person you could want for
