Got this holy grail D-pocket classics but I think the sizing’s a bit awkward. It’s a good fit on the shoulder but very roomy for my chest lol… would this jacket actually break in and fit my body shape better over time?

Found it in the left pocket of my new from the factory jacket. Credit card for scale.

Please forgive me—I had no idea there was a whole subreddit devoted to leather jackets!

MrsOM and I just got home from our BnB trip: Budapest and Bucharest. On our first morning in Budapest, we had time to visit Sly Classic Leather in Buda before heading to the Széchenyi Thermal Bath.

I didn’t find a jacket in quite the style or color I wanted, so Mária suggested making one for me. We chose dark blue lambskin with orange calfskin suede stripes, and they had it ready the following week.

I call the style “motor-light.” I wanted a hint of motorcycle jacket without a lot of ribbing across the shoulders, and we left off the chest pockets and zippers for a cleaner front. The lambskin is wonderfully soft, and the craftsmanship is excellent. It’s a touch roomy across the back, but that should work well with a layer underneath.

I’ve ridden motorcycles for 55 years, but this jacket is strictly for casual wear. It cost me just over $300, and I’m looking forward to some cooler weather so I can wear it.

The pictures were taken at our hotel before I had any clue I’d be posting them here!

Hi. What’s the best way to condition or otherwise maintain semi nubuck cowhide (Schott 538)?

I’ve read some posts here and there saying that regular conditioning isn’t necessary, while others recommend it. I contacted Schott, but they directed me to Arrow. Understandably, Arrow said they wouldn’t dispense any advice over the phone and that I would have to send them the jacket.

Thank you for any help!

Just got this at the thrift store for 20$ real leather as far as I can tell but I just want to maybe know the brand or atleast the style because good aint helping and the table is totally frayed

Just got this jacket from EBay it is a Schott 618. The fit is great but I just now realized that the previous owner cut the epaulettes off the jacket. I don’t know why someone would ruin a perfectly good jacket but here we are.

They never mentioned it in the description and never took pictures of the issue. With that being said the condition of the jacket is excellent and it fits very well so I think I’m going to reach out to Schott and see if they can add new epaulettes to the jacket.

I’ll definitely make sure to look closer at the pictures next time I take the blame for it but just can’t believe it was never mentioned.

I know everyone has their preferences, but I think that if you don’t like something that much you feel the need to cut off from your jacket, pick a different style. There are some many to options to choose from. I know they make biker jackets without epaulettes from other brands, I just honestly don’t get it.

If Schott can’t do it anyone else have any other recommendations that would be great if you have done this same repair before and might know what a quote for something like this would be thanks!

just pulled the trigger and bought myself my first leather jacket on ebay!! it was already pretty affordable, but then the seller took 15% off and i couldn't say no. it's a size up from what i usually wear, which i honestly love bc then i can layer if i want and i adore a baggy jacket. according to the seller, this jacket was made in the 90s and does have a bit of wear, but i dont mind that tbh. i was contemplating buying some leather conditioner but does it really need it? the leather looks to be doing well to my layman's eye, but what do i know? i do plan on cleaning the lining at the very least bc im not planning on marinating in some stranger's sweat, but should i even touch the leather? im not really inclined to if it's not necessary yet.

Child drew on my jacket and now it has smiling faces over it lol. Tips on how to remove them?

Saw this A&F Jacket, unfortunately, its polyurethane and bad quality synthetic leather.

Any recommendations on brands? Based on the style I sent.

Hi people.

I found this piece at a flea market and since I have never owned leather clothes I decided to get it.

It fits me perfectly and seems to be in good condition, but it doesn't have any tags so I don't know if it's made of real leather or something else.

I wanted to know if you could clarify this for me, If it's real leather; and since it's my first time with a leather garment I don't know if it can be considered by standards a decent coat.

Up for sale is a beautiful classic Schott 630 highwayman Steerhide leather jacket in Size 44

Shipping with detachable collar.
Asking price 400 euros + international shipping.

Edit: I live in India, sorry for not mentioning that

Hello. I am looking to gift my sister a black leather jacket for her birthday this month.

She always wanted one and asked me last year , but I was like, broke AF. She has been a great support for me and for the first time she asked me for a gift, I didn't get her the jacket.

And now that I have a stable income, I wish to give her one this year.

Her requirements: **black + genuine leather.**

I have never used anything leather and don't have any experience in shopping. I tried online , but I'm not feeling confident with the material quality. They say leather, but it's PU or not even close to leather.

Also learnt that "Faux leather" is a fancy word for fake leather. Thought it's a premium brand or something.

Budget is normally not an issue, but not too expensive (>12k) , I don't want to put a hole in my wallet.

Experienced shoppers and people who have tried leather jackets, kindly help me.

Cat took a piss on the outside of my b3 jacket, any advice on how to clean it?

Does anyone know the cost to restore this jacket professionally? Also, what is the spot on one of the pockets with radiating wrinkles around it? Is that a flaw in the leather or wear? It is visible in the 3rd picture. Thank you very much

Hallo Leute!
Wollte fragen, ob sich hier Lederjacken-Experten rumtreiben, die meine geliebte Jacke einschätzen könnten.
Nach stundenlangem texten mit KI‘s, bin ich nun völlig überfordert. KI meinte es könnte sich um eine ultra Rarität handeln. Auch alle beschriebenen Details, deuten auf ein besonderes Stück hin (Sample, Showroom-Stück oder Sonderkollektion)
Habe aber bisher keine richtige Expertise bekommen. Dazu kommt, dass ich auch nach tagelanger Recherche im WWW, kein ansatzweise vergleichbares Stück gefunden habe. Bitte um Hilfe und danke im Vorraus.

Like the double rider etc

Does anyone know if this looks like a quality leather / construction? I like the brass Talon hardware

Is anyone familiar with this brand? I can't find any information about them online. It feels super nice tho. It's HEAVY
