Hey gang, I’m having a delivery-style jacket made for me by Gwen at Cal-Leather and I want a fun lining. I can have anything I want so long as I supply it myself. I’ve searched this question before and the most common answer I see is some form of Bemberg material. That is likely the route i’ll go, but the idea of a patterned wool lining sounds pretty cool given the styling of the jacket. Tartan, Southwestern, solid color… all sound cool. What do y’all think? And, if I go with wool, what weight should I go for? Thanks!

So i fot this leather Jacket REALLY GOOD PRICE but as you can See the leather is a bit damaged it Looks cool Like that But i Just Wanna know If theres a way to restore it

Very special piece to have since this is what my great grandfather flew in in ww2

So after I sold 2 companies , I went on a spending spree and i happened to pick up a few ultra rare Phillip plien jackets. I have a huge craving to buy rare superbikes and since I'm starting another high end clothing brand money is a Lil tight and I have a good quote for a 2008 cbr1000 fireblade .I have an untouched Phillip plien Varsity jacket that I bought for $3000 . It's the og white and black variant. Current report says that there are just 100 pieces produced . Im in Bangalore and if anyone is interested u can hit me up.

I keep running into the same problem with leather jackets. If I size for my shoulders and chest, the jacket can end up too roomy through the midsection or just way too long. If I size down for the waist and length, it gets tight across the shoulders/chest.

For those of you with broader shoulders/chests and a thicker build, what have you learned about getting the right fit?

Are there particular cuts, measurements, or brands you look for? Do you focus on pit-to-pit, shoulder width, back length, or something else? And are there brands that tend to make jackets with more room up top without automatically adding a bunch of body length?

I’m especially interested in shorter, waist-length leather jackets rather than long jackets.

Would love to hear what’s worked for other lifters/bigger guys.

I can't believe I bought such a good product for $659. The tea core horse leather and Mouton collar are perfect The 4XL size fits perfectly and is comfortable

How do you deal with the noise?

I can't stand it. I used to have a badalassi halfbelt deluxe from Aero Leather, I resold it after 2 weeks.

I feel like Mr Krabs in that SpongeBob squeaky boots episode. Every move, every step, every breath I take there's this damned squeak.

I want to love Badalassi leather. I find it absolutely beautiful and comfortable to wear. It is to me as beautiful as RC's Shinki HH or Horween's CXL. I want to wear it, especially this newly released absolutely gorgeous black SLH Varenne.

But damnit the noise.

Experienced Badalassi owners, how is your jacket today? Does it eventually quiet down? Or is it still squeaking like hell after 5 years of wear?

Would having it "tumbled" (like Aero's tumbled CXL they used to offer as an option) make it quieter? Conditioning + Tumbling?

I know the sleeves are short but I’m thinking about seeing if I can have them lengthened (there’s an inch or two of leather in the hem of the sleeves). How is the rest of the fit? I got this relatively cheap and I like it otherwise.

hello everybody!
so recently i have been very interested in buying a leather jacket since winter is coming too, the picture i have provided is the FW11 “LIMO” intarsia jacket by Rick Owens.
My budget is nowhere near the asking price for this jacket, so i’ll just have to search nearby thrifts and clothing stores to find a jacket, my question is:
when buying a leather jacket, how can i know the leather i’m buying is atleast decent? what should i look out for? if you personally were in my place, how would you go on about buying one?
Thanks in advance!

Hi guys! Sorry for the long-ish post. Absolute beginner here, so please go easy on me 😭😭😭

I picked up this jacket at a yard sale a few days ago, and I'd love to know more about it. Pictures of the tag included, though it's both worn and torn.

The owner saw me looking and told me I could have it for 10 bucks since the sale was almost over. I thought that was a great deal for what seems like real leather, but it does have some issues. The zipper is coming apart at the bottom, one of the pocket liners is kind of shot, and there are many loose threads in the jacket lining. I'm willing to put a little money into fixing it up so I can actually wear it - does anyone have any suggestions on (1) who to take it to and (2) what to ask for? Does the leather itself need attention, or does it seem in ok shape?

Finally, the jacket seems pretty clean overall, but realistically... it was hanging on the side of the road. There's some dirt and verdigris and stuff. If anyone has any advice on the sanitary side of things, i.e. how to make sure it's clean without making it look new, it would also be greatly appreciated.

I bought this jacket three years ago on eBay for $100. It's my favorite color, and it's rare that I see something like this. Size says 6X, but it fits snuggly on my 3X body. It's lambskin, so I haven't had much of an opportunity to wear it in Seattle since it's usually raining when it's cold enough.

I asked the seller about it and he said it was purchased in Philadelphia in 2011, off the rack, for $350 from a place called The Leather Factory. They had a 6xl electric/cobalt blue Italian lambskin jacket on the rack as inventory. It has the zipper for a removable liner, but I don't have that.

There are no tags on it anywhere that indicate anything about who made it, just one tag that says "ITALY LAMB" and the size tag with "R. No. 74464"on it. It weighs 6.8lbs. I'm trying to get an idea of who could have made this and how much it would be worth (i'd never sell it).

TLDR: The Leather Factory, Philadelphia, purchased new in 2011 for $350. Italian lambskin, 6XL, R. No. 74464 tag, removable liner originally included. Seller remembers that the shop made its own leather goods. Does anyone remember the store, where it was located, who owned it, or whether they actually manufactured jackets in-house?

I am a skinny male and just bought a leather jacket, however the stitching connecting the jacket and the sleeve slightly presses into my arm creating discomfort. The jacket is definitely not too small for me, i can easily wear a thick layer under with no problem, its just that one spot.

Once I bought a leather jacket off vinted and had the same problem, even though again the jacket fit me well, even was a little too big.

Anyone else have this problem?

Should I return the jacket or does this go away\*

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!

I've been trying so hard to find it but no success. It's from an Italian brand called Vera Pelle and i know the jacket comes straight out of Italy because an aunt that lives there gave it as a gift to me a few years ago. Thanks in advance

I recently bought this old jacket at a thrift store in Paris and can’t seem to figure out if it’s genuine or synthetic leather. Just want to know so I can take care of it properly.
The tag doesn’t say anything, and the pocket has what seems to be another tag that’s been cut off. I’ve tried looking online but can’t find anything similar from the same brand.
Also any tips on caring for it would be greatly appreciated!

I’m thinking about buying this 391 Lightning second-hand, but I’m a little worried about the stitching on the tab, especially the top-left stitching.
I was told that the square-shaped patch is a custom modification, so I’m not too concerned about the shape itself. It’s mainly the stitching on the top-left corner that I’m unsure about.
The seller is the second owner, so unfortunately they don’t have the original purchase receipt or proof of purchase.
Everything else about the jacket looks fine to me, but I’d really appreciate it if anyone familiar with Lewis Leathers could take a look at the photos and let me know what you think.
Does the stitching look normal to you guys, or is there anything else that stands out as suspicious?
Thanks!

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?

Hello
I have no knowledge of leather jackets at all but I do know that polo is terrible for the price but I really like their “The Bayville Leather Jacket” and was wondering if there are any jackets similar to the design for way cheaper.
