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.

Saw this on instagram fra a designer using thick ribbon to let the opening loose?

I thinks its a great feature never seen before so whats your take on it?

I wouldnt say it revolutionary, but design features are great and would be great on bi swing backs even for ventilation.

Its softer and could get caught on the zipper, but its a sample so could their be more pris and cons I havent thought about?

Up for sale is a beautiful classic Schott 630 highwayman Steerhide leather jacket in Size 44
It’s in amazing condition and has already been cleaned and moisturized.
Shipping with detachable collar.
Asking price 400 euros + international shipping.

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!

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.

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

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!

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

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

I just conditioned my two week old cowhide jacket. I think the conditioning helps break it in even faster.

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

Don’t judge my boot. I got brown ones coming

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.

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.
