We go through a few things that I've learned and how I discern which jackets to get rid of. It’s important to keep your wardrobe slim and reduce things that are duplicates. I talk about some of my other jackets that I enjoy as well
That leather jacket looks great on you! It does stand out - but that is exactly how a person should stand out. It exudes quality. It’s also a grail piece. Obviously you put quite a bit of thought into the decision but don’t let the main reason be that it’s too flashy. That’s my 2 cents anyway!
Always interesting when men discover the qualities of the Navy Pea Coat. I've been wearing the same one since my Navy service back in 1991. Just had the liner swapped out. About the only other thing I've had repaired are the buttons, which do eventually come away. Thirty two years and still stylish and warm. Cheers Tom 🍺👍
You should at least keep that leather jacket. I can tell you barely wear it b/c It’s still not broken in and has a “flashy” bright look. However, if you wear it more, it’ll start developing a nice patina and faded in a good way. I hope you reconsider man. I also have a leather jacket that I’m still trying to break in. I sometimes feel conscious about it too since it barely looks worn. Only patience and wear will make leather look it’s best.
I'm a 60yr young gym rat, athletic fit build standing at 6/2 210lbs only date 30-45yr old gym rat women. I wear Versace suits to Suit Supply down to ZARA... same with watches from Rolex subs, Seiko's, Citizens down to Invictas...AND I will still wear fitted simple European style leather jackets (cafe racer) because it's about attitude and having an edge. To me, Quilted is for OLD FARTS and the other jackets are just SOOOOOO boring looking. Although I applaud your look as it makes YOU look sharp, tidy and clean.... I guess not all humans are the same ..... hahahahaha....
I’m 57. I own a fantastic brown leather cafe racer and it just sits in the closet. I feel it make it makes me look like I’m trying too hard. I need to sell the damn thing.
