the "not-too-expensive-but-cool" leatherjacket thread

[artificialsky]

^^ coming from someone who is trying to sell a $100 leather jacket.

Thus the reason I'm selling it.

That one looks pretty nice, but I just know it would fit like a box.. I've tried on H&M leather jackets before and they fit like a box.

Ebay prices on an actually decent, good fitting leather jacket are always RIDICULOUS.

Not really.

When it comes to leather jackets for me, I've always trusted my motorcycle jacket. it's this old leather biker jacket from the 80's that I've spray-painted and stenciled over. It's nothing fancy, but it looks pretty punk rock.

Can anyone vouch on the quality of Superdry leathers? Are they a british or japanese brand? Just curious...

Oh and how about Corpus leathers?

[guffer]

superdry is a british 'trendy' brand. up there with diesel, bench etc. i dont know about the quality, but i would avoid it personally

You're gonna have a difficult time finding a DH-esque slim-fit, high arm hole leather jacket I'm afraid. Believe me, I've been there.

Most sensible solution I'd say would be to keep an eye on the Supermarket for an April77 Vegan Leather (resin coated cotton that looks like leather) jacket.

I purchased a similar cut jacket to this at the Ralph Lauren store for $23.00 (black leather.)

still can't decide if i want to jump on board and buy the corpus quilted.

I bought this from bluefly last month. I'm happy with it.

Just tell him you hate him me and everyone else posting in here and get this thread over with.

Seriously artificialsky is right though. If you dont want a shitty jacket new, dont expect a reasonable price on it.

I just scored a Schott Perfecto on Ebay for under 300 in a skinny boi size yay

The measurements match up to my Hare M65, which fits me perfectly. Hopefully this fits just as well. *crosses fingers*

Personally no... All Saints stuff tends to be poorly made and overpriced, it seems to have a cult high st. following in the U.K. though.

Two ends of the scale?

I don't know anything about Corpus jackets but the Superdry one's will be shite. Superdry is a British brand owned by Cult clothing which is a shitty chain of multi-brand stores in the U.K.

Copped a Barney's house brand leather motorcycle jacket today on massive discount, down from like 345 to 190. Buttery soft leather and really nice fit to me, hopefully it will hold up well and such

I really wanted this one H&m leather jacket in a small. It fit like a size 44, it was amazing, super slim, and it didn't look gay. But it was gone when i came back =[.

[Leonard Leroy]

have any pictures of it? What styling did it have?
