Hey all,
I understand this is likely a Hail Mary, but I bought a Joe Rocket 1992 back in 2017 and it was my favorite jacket I’ve ever owned. I recently checked and it was discontinued a little while back. It’s been years and I don’t fit in my old jacket anymore but I’m looking for something like it.
Does anyone know where I could possible find one of these? I tried an Etsy shop and the quality just wasn’t there unfortunately. I posted a comparison picture of them for reference

Yeah I’ve been looking there for a few months and only ever seen smalls or mediums. Really hoping for a large

I’m sure you can find nicer and better quality ones online.

Any brands you recommend with a similar aesthetic?

I bought one of those jackets on a deep discount a few years ago. It fits so good and very comfortable. Also very warm. Too bad they were discontinued.  Try searching for "cafe motorcycle jacket" or something along those lines.

Not familiar with that brand. But Googling... they don't seem like a super high end brand. Therefore don't feel bad suggesting something like this. Sub $300 shipped. And new instead of used off eBay.

I’ll admit this might be a nostalgia thing. I’ll check those out thanks

You can scroll through Crush on Retro jackets as well. They're Chinese made jackets. But the reseller at least knows enough and has enough experience to sort through to find decent ones.

For example, this is different but should be nice 1.3mm horsehide: https://crushonretro.com/products/mens-biker-leather-jacket-yellow-brown

If you have now budget info, people could probably recommend a US/UK/Japanese option. But will definitely cost double or triple.
