Leather jackets

[William_Ulsterman]

recently bought my dads house and was clearing out the attic and found his old 'courting' leather jacket. Must say it was pimpin' when i wore it out to a halloween fancy dress with red or dead platforms. I didnt care that i stank of mould all night. it was exactly like that life on mars one above.

Yeah!

[Fugitive]

Looks like Richard Fairbrass out on the pull.

Considering this bad boy.

 

[Mook]

It's alright that, Ardja depending on what you wore it with.

 

I don't really count suede jackets as leather, I know I'm wrong like but I feel like they need to be seperate entities in my brain.

 

My brother got this (Ben Sherman) one recently & it's bugging me because I love it...

It would look better in a darker shade of turd, in my opinion.

Nice jacket, but I don't think I could wear a light coloured suede coat. The heartbreak I'd feel when I got a mark on it would kill me.

Yeah I'm not fond of them to be honest, they get ruined in the rain plus they stink.

I have one of these

 

 

Obviously, the bottom button isn't fastened when I wear it.

The one thing I’m most wary of, is water damage with suede in general.

I think in this country it's just a case of checking the forecast & then keeping your fingers crossed.

Nubuck trainees are ace, jackets not so much.

I still pine for a brown nubuck coat I had in the 90s.  It was truly fucking lovely.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I've got a lovely suede jacket I've worn all of about ten times. 

 

Chance of rain? Not worth the risk.

Taking public transport? The seats might be filthy.

Pub? Some clumsy sod might spill beer on it.

Family outing? Young relatives will get sticky fingers on it.

 

It's now an autumnal coat for guaranteed dry days when I won't have to sit on public seats whilst wearing it, and food and drink are not in close proximity.

I'll have to plead ignorance on that one, without looking it up I don't know an awful lot about it.

Had a pair of nubuck Nike Cortez back in the day. I loved them. Then I foolishly wore them to a party and someone dropped ketchup on them. 

 

In a way, I never got over that.

It's got a lovely feel to it - sort of halfway between "real" leather and suede.

Is it a rule for this thread to refer to your coat as a "bad boy"?

Yeah I think we’ve landed back in 1992.

Back in the day. I’m tempted to neg. I will hold sway.

Rather than invest in yet another winter coat, I've taken to wearing my brown leather Barbour Hurricane for the last two months. Day in, day out, rain or shine, I don't care. It's been sat in my wardrobe for three years practically unworn. For added faux-hipster cunt value, I've bought a shemagh to wear with it when it's cold. fuck the haters, shemagh's are truly the answer to all your upper body warmth needs.

 

Tonight I discovered I can carry home two packs of salami and a scotch egg in the jacket pockets. No plaggy bag required. Just doing my bit for the environment, ma'am.

What is a shemagh?

It's a phrase people used to use back in the day.

It's a PLO scarf. 

 

I only know this after having the same thought as you then Googling it.
