Leather jackets
-
I couldn’t see a thread just for our leather jackets so thought I’d start one. As I seem to have built up a bit of a collection I’ll go first. Please post yours too, I’d love to see what you have.
The Flat Head - Shinki horsehide double rider. This will probably always be my favourite.
Eastman Windward - Italian horsehide, has a wool filled lining so nice and warm for a leather jacket
Aero 1930s half belt - horsehide but I don’t know anything else about it as I bought it used a few years ago.
Freewheelers Brakeman - Shinki horsehide, wool lining and storm cuffs. I love the fit on this, it was always a bit of a grail jacket for me.
Real McCoys Joe McCoy welder’s jacket - unprocessed split steerhide (whatever that means!). An older model, the current one is raglan sleeved.
Y’2 coverall - steerhide roughout. Aging really nicely, the arms remind me of a worn in denim jacket
Y’2/The Shop Vancouver chore jacket - Kakishibu scar horsehide. Hoping to get this some sun this spring to get it darkening up a bit.

@NickD wow!

I only have 2, Master Supply Daytona was my entry but the Aero is my leather jacket of choice. Badalassi Russet Hooch Hauler.

That colour is amazing, especially in the close up shot.

@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?
-
@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.
